Lots to do!

Some of you asked how I did the angel.

I took this picture from a garden catalog and put it into my photoshop.

I added colors, paint and textures using P S filters and brushes.

Basically I just played. I am self taught on P S and only have explored the painting aspects of the program.

Glad you liked it!

Bloggers challenge and gingersnap holiday lights

A close up of our christmas tree. I enhanced the color, and then added a film filter.

I think it would make a fun holiday postcard!!!
