 As many of you may or may not know, in my other life I’m a photographer... I’ve been taking pictures and experimenting with editing in Photoshop for several years now and just last summer, started taking on more and more clients! As a result, I’m constantly on the hunt for Photoshop actions that will speed up my workflow but are also completely customizable and non-destructive! These are a few of the best photoshop actions I’ve found around the web for FREE and they’ve become some of my go-to actions! These are a great place to start if you’re just starting out with actions, if you have Photoshop and if you like a bit of a vintage look to your photos (as I do)! 

 And if you’re here for the Pixels & Company Blog Hop, please scroll down below the FREE actions previews for your download letter!

Inspired by a {Yellow Button Studio} Giveaway

About two weeks ago, I happened upon 'Yellow Button Studio' while browsing around Etsy... I've been looking for a print to hang in the girl's bathroom since we moved last May... And I was thrilled when I found THIS print in Jessie's shop... You see, not only will it look great with the pale blue & white of the bathroom, it's something we often say to the girls... And it's true... I do love them all, to the moon and back! I was excited to order it and in my communications with Jessie, she wondered about sponsoring a giveaway! How could I say no? I love the sentiments and the hand crafted look of Jessie's prints... And thus, a giveaway was born!

To enter the giveaway: Visit 'Yellow Button Studio' and come back here... Leave the name of your favourite print along with your email address for chance to win an 8x10 or 8.5x11 print of your choice from 'Yellow Button Studio'... Spread the word on Facebook, Pinterest or Twitter, and post the link in the comments... One winner will be randomly chosen on Friday evening... I'll be contacting the winner by email, so please be sure to leave a valid email address! Thanks to Jessie and have fun browsing her beautiful shop!

Weekend Project {Relax}

This week really got away from me... I can't believe it's Friday! Monday was a holiday here... So I feel like somewhere along the way, I lost track of time! I've been busy potty training Leah, finishing up and listing my new digital scrapbooking line (did you have a chance to download my first freebie?), keeping two stir-crazy toddlers occupied, tending to an under the weather baby, and doing all the other usual things such as cooking, trying to keep the house somewhat tidy, breathing, eating, sleeping... My project for this weekend? Relaxing... It's been many weeks since we've had a Saturday with NO plans... That's right, nothing on the calendar!

I hope you too have a chance to catch your breath this weekend! Happy Friday!

P.S. Tune in for a lovely giveaway on Tuesday! So excited!

 'Sea of Tranquility' from 'Grain and Silk'

Inspired by {Valentine's Day}

The Medium {Growing in the Cold}

From the Manger to the Cross...

A beautiful reminder... That the manger led to the Cross... And the Cross led to the resurrection... And resurrection led to salvation, for all those who believe... That is my hope this Christmas!
