Day 12 - Storyboards

Wow!! All these techniques that impress me, I can't believe how easy they are accomplished!!

Janice, let me answer your questions. Yes! Absolutely, I would LOVE to teach you how to do these things. It will help me to remember them too. Since you're working, let me know what works for you. I haven't yet sent them to Costco to be printed. That's on my "to do" list soon. I'll let you know when I do. And thanks for the compliment. I'll let Rob know that my "elixirs" (aka moisturizers) are worth the $$. ;D

Day 11 - Selective/Spot Recoloring

This is super, dee duper easy!! And LOTS of fun to do too. This is a photo of our adorable Granddaughter. It is SO her ~ she LOVES flowers. So much so that she actually pulled one out of the ground, roots and all! Oops!!! We promptly replanted it. :D

Day 10 - Project Start to Finish

Boy, this one was F.U.N.!!! I am learning so much! And one of my favorite pictures of my 2 oldest children.

Day 9 - Edge Burn

I think I need to work on this technique some more. Or pick a different picture.

Day 8 - Type

Ooooo, I LOVE this technique. I can so see myself using this a lot!

Day 7 - Self-check

Aka-POP QUIZ!!!!! I really wanted to test my knowledge so I wrote the answers down and I was happy to learn I got 100%!! So the "old dog" can learn "new tricks".

Day 6-TTV

I liked this technique. It give you a worn, faded look that looks like looking through the viewfinder of an old camera. This day she challenged me because there was no step0by-step video. It was written but also testing our memory of learning from the previous lessons.

Day 5 - Textures

WOW!! This was such an incredible class. Great techniques.

I'm not 100% such if I like this technique used on this picture. But I think it gives it a very spooky kind of feel.
That's the drop on the attraction, Splash Mountain at Disneyland

This was our Super Duper Bonus Challenge Round. Using both the frame + texture. This was fun!! And I really like how it turned out!

Day 4 - Clipping Masks

I just love the scuffed up edges!

Day 3 - Vintage Hand-tinted look

Having just returned from vacation I have a few days of classes to catch up on. Today's class was fun. I just had to do 2!

My husband just LOVED this photo. He said it reminded him of 1960's pictures of Disneyland. Even though I just took this in May. I'd say mission accomplished!!!

The example in the class was one using people so I thought I should give that a shot too since the look was different.

This class is SO much fun!!!

Day 2 - Brushes

The last day of school is truly something to celebrate!!!

Jessica Sprague Class Day 1
