Flower???

Nope not a flower my friends.
This here is a weed I found yesterday.
Camera in hand I headed out to the backyard.
No sighs of life in the backyard yet.
Then out of the corner of my eye I caught this
here weed.  What a gorgeous weed..



Over a Beyond Layers Kim wants us to play
around with black and white shots..
So I had some fun with this in photoshop..

On this photo I added one of Kims textures call Lilly
Same weed photo but different editing.  Linking to Texture Tuesday.

Here is the original with some simple changes in Picasa.
So what do you think.. Which do you like best..
I have to say I like the original the best..

I know its pretty sad when all I could find to
photo is a weed.  I think I need to get my butt
to the nursery..

I had so much fun with this weeks challenge
over at City Crafters.  Kirsty our talented and sweet
hostess this week is telling us to go with our heart..

"Things in my heart"

As you know I have been enjoy
my mixed media journal..
Never in a million year did I ever think
I would give painting a try.

So that is what I am sharing with you today.
Another page in my journal.

In this particular page I used lots of scrap papers.
and of course all types of paints.  And even
did a little stitching around my heart.

So what's in your heart?
What your passion?
What gets those creative juices flowing?
