So I'm trying out this new (to me) thing called Pinterest. It's kind of like flair boards were on facebook only you "pin" a picture to a board. As far as I know you aren't limited on boards and it's all free. So it's pretty cool. I haven't gotten much on it yet but I will include the link. It will also be located on the left hand side bar (<--) under the deviantart link.
WARNING: This might just be something that I use a few times and then never go back to, so sorry if you actually expect me to keep up with it haha. This is the longest I've ever kept up with any blog/journal thingy and I'm only at 70 posts (as of this one ^_^ yay me!), so....yeah.
ALP (French text speak equivalent of TTFN-- ta ta for now.)
PS. Speaking of ta ta for now...the other day in biology we learned about the TATA box. The A's aren't pronounced like the A's in "apple," they are pronounced like the A's in "ta ta." So it was kind of funny hearing our teacher say it...especially after someone had written "*Name of teacher* plays with boobies" (it was originally barbies). AAAAAAAANNYWAY.
ALP! ♥
EDIT: PPS. Haha, oops. Guess you need the link: http://pinterest.com/nikkylove/

I take pride in my photoshop skills...
No matter how simple they are.
I feel like such a fan girl with this one...I'm not usually like this. But I was playing around and this is what happened. Hardest part: lighting. Definitely. It looks pretty basic but I actually did a lot of detail work with the dodge and burn tools. Favorite part: I love adding things like paper clips or pieces of tape to give a picture the look of actually being a three dimensional picture.
I like this one...it's simple yet pretty. This picture was already gorgeous (thank you perfect weather) so I just did some dodging on the highlights, burning in the shadows and cropped out some of the yucky grey sky. And of course added the pretties. Hardest part: I was originally going to try and make the sky blue. As you can see it didn't happen. Favorite part: I like the gold feathers. And with the twine crossing over them it looks like they are being held there.
This one is so simple it's ridiculous. I was just playing around and used this one tool that I can't remember the name of. It lets you pick part of your picture and then it has preset fixes. I've always loved color against black and white. Hardest part: Getting all of the edges just right so that they don't look too photoshopped. Of course I'm now seeing parts that I missed. Favorite part: Like I said, I'm a sucker for color against b/w.
These are a bunch of inspiring quotes that are on this one wall at a memorial near where I live. It's a beautiful place and so peaceful. I decided to put all of these quotes into a collage. I did the colors to make them each stand out on their own. And I wanted to give the feeling that they are on a wall so I put the two with the top of the wall at the top, and the one with the bottom of the wall at the bottom. But I like how the tops don't meet. Hardest part: Sizing. I resized thousands of times, cut pieces out, squished and stretched over and over. And then I finally got it. Favorite part: They don't line up perfectly. It gives it a bit of an abstract look and isn't normally something I would go for.
Well...enjoy! And again, if you have any ideas for anything (frames, pictures, collages) leave a comment :)
