As mentioned yesterday I have been creating again. To clear off my desk I decided to finish up some pages that I have had “almost” done for awhile (they just needed journaling).

I love the way this one turned out.

It is kind of hard to see the details so here are some up close photos.

The stars were created by die cutting the shape with this star and then running it through my Big Shot with this Texturz plate (some are lifted off the page with black 3D foam squares).

(The title letters are by Cosmo Cricket and the journaling tag is by Cherry Arte.)

Do you like how the photos look?  It was pretty easy to get this look using these Photoshop Actions.  I love using PS Actions to improve less than stellar photos.  This is what the photo looked like before I ran the PS Action.

The colors were all over the place and it lacked focus.  By running the PS Actions I love how instantly you focus on the kidlets and how it adds a dreamy quality to it.

Today I am working on Magnus’ album again. 

I printed off all the photos I need and I started arranging things on the album pages.

The row of photos that you see above the album are for the back sides of the pages.  I spent a few minutes moving around embellishments so that I could be sure that the items were evenly spread through the album.  Next I started adhering things down (some of the embellishment placement changes as I was adhering).

Today I will finish up the journaling on it and figure out how I want to bind it all together and then it will be finished!
