Spent most of my day working on Friendly Foam website. First, we are focusing on just telling folks the site is under construction because all information on existing site is not current.
I notice that actions and changing the mood/color of photos has reached a fever pitch. I love the results, but I think because I manipulated photos for so long in my job, that the joy of taking a real photograph was such a treat for me. Getting the color correct. And a sharp image was my challenge. Today, I started messing around with some actions I found at Karin a fotografi and at Maria's, just to experiment and have some fun. And make some of my own actions.
Also found some great textures on Flickr (I think I have blogged this before) by entre les mots et l'image. Very generous!
And even more at Lost & Taken's Free High Resolution Textures.
Wonderful old air mail envelopes graciously offered by fuzzimo (and lots more goodies!) via Pinterest.
I spent a few minutes re-exploring textures and actions with some old photos.
Amy has a A Christmas Present For You.
I am adding in some free gift tags. I had to find a clunky way to get the PDF loaded. So go over to this link and click on the Let It Snow – GiftTags and that will take you to the PDF that is good for printing. Don't use the jpg below, it will not be good for printing. By the way, this image is one from my rubber stamp company that I started years ago, Rainy Day Rubber Stamps ... that went nowhere because I didn't put the energy into it. ;0

With all the bad news these days it is exciting to announce something free (and fun) from Something To Say. I am hosting a give-away from CSN lighting to one lucky reader. The hardest part was picking from the vast selection of table lamps for this treat. The winner of the contest will be allowed to choose one desired product from two lights being used in the giveaway. The lamps are both decidedly different in style but have one common theme associated with all of them, they represent a minimalist, yet modern approach to design that is bold, effective and chic. Here is some background information about the two lamps that are included in the giveaway:
George Kovacs Cubic One Light Table Lamp
George Kovacs is hands down one of the most famous lighting architects in the modern community. For four decades, George Kovacs and his team of innovative designers have been creating and recreating, never failing to impress the modern lighting community. The cubic one light Table Lamp is no exception to Kovacs’ design legacy. It’s cubic shaped design, sturdy stainless steel base, and brushed nickel arm all fuse together to create an office light companion that is aesthetically appealing, and functionally practical. Still, these features are all second best to the focal point of the light, which is its etched cased opal glass shade, the cherry on top of the sundae, so to speak.
Lights up! RS-491 Rex Wall Sconce
The people at Lights Up Have succeeded in the modern lighting world because of their uncanny ability to differentiate their products from the mainstream. With unique, intricate patterns and intriguing, versatile designs, Lights Up continues to be a leader in the industry. The Rex wall sconce is one of their signature products because it fits right in with their philosophy ; the Rex features an attractive brushed nickel base to go along with a welcoming hand crafted, white linen shade for a simple, yet magnificent design. Lights Up very proudly manufactures their products in Brooklyn, New York with the simple goal of providing a quality product for fans of contemporary and classical style décor, alike.
Good Luck! I will not be blogging for this week ... wow, my first week off in 5+ years of blogging. Thank you, CSN Lighting for this fun experience.
Thinking about "making my day", I would love to send out 10 packages of 6 flower cards that I have had printed. Pink Peonies and Violas. Please either leave you address in comments or email your address to receive a pack as a thank you from me. The first ten. All gone, thanks guys!
