Scribble This Challenge #3

ETA: I just went to Lisa's blog to put in the link, and it was closed! I thought I had until tonight for the deadline, but I guess I was wrong! Oh well, I still learned something! Thanks Lisa! :)
Hey everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend! We went to the Houston Astros baseball game last night and had a great time!! I will share some pictures later. We got home around 1:30 a.m. and had to get up early this morning for a baseball party for my son Chace's team. So we are really tired! We own an A/C & Heating company here in Texas and it has been 100 degrees everyday this week and we haven't had rain in almost a month, so it is HOT!! So my husband had to go fix some more A/C today, he hasn't had a day off in weeks. He usually doesn't work at all on Sunday's, but here lately, after he preaches at church on Sunday, he has to go fix someones A/C, so today I think I'll Bar-B-Que for him today! :)

I made this card the other night for Lisa's Scribble This Challenge.. I am using the GIMP program and there isn't an automatic setting, so I had to do it manually. It was a little hard for me to see the difference in the before and after, but I do see that it is a little sharper! So Thanks Lisa! Both of my sister's share the same birthday, but 7 yrs. apart, so now all I need is one more for their birthday's in August. I bought a kit from ColorBox last weekend from Marshall's for $7.00, I really like the papers it has in it, so I decided to use some on my card. The kit comes in a box, it is so cute, here is a picture of it too! So here it is!

It's that box so cute with the scallops?!

Scribble This Challenge #1

Happy Sunday everyone! I got a chance to play in a new challenge today! Lisa over at Sideoats + Scribbles is having a new challenge helping us with white balance. I really have learned a lot from it! My current camera does not have a custom white balance, but when I get my new one in the future I will now how to work the white balance correctly, so Thank You Lisa. So ya'll go by her blog and check out her challenges, I think she can really teach us something about taking pictures, I'm really excited to learn!! :) I also don't have Photo Shop, I have Photo Suite 4 that came on my laptop, so that's what I use. I have recently found an enhancement option on it and I think that it really captures the real look of the card! I have started using a daylight bulb in my little lamp to take pictures when there is no sunlight. I took these pictures about 7:00 p.m. , so not a lot of sunlight here. I made this card for my niece, she has a birthday on Tuesday, she will be 17! WOW time flies!! OK, so here are different lighting's.

Daylight White Balance (Not a big difference)

Supplies:
