I Heart Faces – Fix it Friday

Here is the original picture:

I tried just a little editing here with PW’s actions now available for Elements, Yay!!! All of them I brightened in the RAW editor first before starting.

1. This one just had PW Lovely action. I thought I would just keep it simple.

2. This one had PW Warm action with Coffeeshop Vignette.

3. This one had the MCP Actions Sharpen, PW Boost, then PW Warm and finished with Coffeeshop Vignette.    

4. This little girl looks amazing no matter what I did. Here she is with the PW Colorized action and then a little Coffeeshop Vignette.

5. Yep, cute no matter what. 

Head over to I Heart Faces and see what everyone else did!

Scenes from Illuminate (4)

Down in the Sunday School rooms they had some great things for the girls to experience. All the way these wonderful candles were all lined up down the hall. They were beautiful!

In one room was rows of fingernail polish awaiting for the girls to come.

Here is the fingernail polish in use.

In the Hair room before the girls arrived…

…and here it is full of lots of lovely girls getting their hair done.

Then there was the Make Up room.

This was a quiet room before the girls arrived…
Everything was set out with care… 
Here are all the girls getting all dolled up.

After the girls were all dolled up the nice and neat table turned into this ;)!

Signs of Spring

More Color…

My first sites of Hawaii:

I took a sunset shot all but one night we were there. They were quite beautiful, but interestingly enough, weren’t as beautiful as some of the sunsets we have here in MN.

Remember this one is my favorite so far from MN:

But like I said, they were still beautiful so here they are:

Here are just a few other things from Hawaii worth remembering…

Don’t worry, I could go on for days and days with pictures, I think I did that when I got back last year, but I won’t do that to you again, I promise!

In any case, I am just as eager for spring as I ever was…Lord bring it on, I am soooo ready!

There was amazing food for the girls. They had this amazing trifle bar for the girls. What a fantastic idea and so much fun.


The girls had a blast making their own trifles.
Plus the girls were able to enjoy yummy coffee drinks too. I love me a frozen coffee drink!!!
