image transfer techniques

recently, i taught a workshop using image transfers. i'm totally into these lately. love the possibilities.

there are many techniques, but lookie what suzi blu has posted on her blog. very cool techniques and her youtubes are fun to watch.

another collage artist [lisa cook] shares her technique on art-e-zine.

over at OLW, lynn shares her technique.

and here are some tips from golden.

enjoy!

coming up for air

bad blogger. bad, bad blogger. sorry for my lack of blogging.

these days have been crazy but so amazingly awesome. the kiddos are everywhere doing everything. soccer is in full force and with practice and games and dance lessons and homework and riding lessons and well that other thing called living, it's been crazy.

here are some pics from this past saturday game.

[tate with the blue jays]

[connor with the mighty dragons]

some great news! tate was scouted on saturday for a local competitive league. (scouted - is that the right terminology?) during her game, a coach came up to chip and i and asked about her and invited her to join practice with his team. she met with the team on monday; and after practice, the coach asked tate to join the team. oh my gosh! we were so proud and excited for her. she loves - and i mean loves, loves soccer. this is her third season so we were pleasantly surprised. it's a big commitment so we went home and talked it over and decided to let her join. i'm hoping that one day she'll help pay for her college tuition with maybe a soccer scholarship. [lol]

other news... i am officially up and running on the new imac. matter of fact, this is my first post with the mac. love it! so user friendly. i'm learning my around things and iphoto is the best. i can't believe how efficient it is now to upload photos. i love how it organizes everything into events.

so for the first few days while i was trying to figure out the wireless network and transferring things over, the kiddos and i had a blast with photobooth.

so that's carys and i playing with photobooth and we accidently made our first movie. gotta love it.

have a happy wednesday.
