PhotoMasks freebie!!!


FOR TODAY... april 26, 2010
outside my window... cloudy, windy and probably more showers later today.
i am thankful for... being able to help people.
I am wearing... grey pants, my favorite "twilight" t-shirt... in other words...my pj's.
noticing that... i hardly ever read books in spanish anymore.
i am still reading... "the swan thieves" by elizabeth kostova.
on my mind... the idea of ordering a couple more packages of polaroid film!
pondering these words... "I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it.  I want to have lived the width of it as well."  -Diane Ackerman-
from the kitchen... almond croissants & a big mug of vanilla coffee.
around the house... i can hear the "today show" on tv.
one of my favorite things... a book that keeps me up until 4am because it is super good!
i'm creating... a new layout.
a few plans for the rest of the week... besides all the usual weekly chores.....digi-scrapping with no interruptions & go back to my walking routine.
from my lens... ready to start walking again!

a peek at some other masks and word art i'm working on:

i've always love using photo masks to add an artistic touch to my photos. i love the way they can make a photo look vintage, soft, edgy or anything you want depending on the mask. i love how they make photos blend subtly into the background & the feeling of  a "window" into another world that they provide.
i worked on these 6 masks last week and find that they can fit a varied type of styles.  this is my gift for you this week - hope you enjoy this freebie!


this next layout with one of the above masks...


other news from the digi-scrapping world:

  3. Hey Nini

    I {heart} your pink iPod & walking shoes ... they're adorable! Strange, but I didn't have you down as a "pink lady"!!!

    Your latest masks are wonderful. I really think masks are your "signature" item ... KWIM? Thank you once again for being so generous with your time & talent.

    Hope you have a wonderful week of ahead ... full of scrapping & walking (though not at the same time. LOL!)

    Hugs,
    Sue
