I took the left over paint from an earlier project and added watercolors to the dried acrylics. It looks like a fish dressed in red wearing a top hat and dancing disco. Hope you make time to smudge :) PEACE be the Journey.
Fabulously YOU! Hoping that you spoil yourself during this self-care Friday. You are truly irreplaceable and you bring value to everyone around. And just in case you forgot we made this post for you. Three things you can do for yourself today.
1. SMILE because it makes you look younger.
2. WRTIE down one thing you like about yourself. "I like how I ______ ."
3. SAY it to three other people. Self talk is great but audible self talk is powerful.
Turn that mundane FB banner into something marvelous. Why be common and ordinary? Take a few minutes to make a statement. I posted this blog to share the process in photo's and the vlog so you can hear me talk through the task. Sort of a multi-sensory experience.
EXAMPLE-A
Let's get started! Above are the directions and you can skip #1 if you're not into B&W pics. Below is the YouTube vlog I created... complete with ukulele from möi. I'm definitely not Jake Shimabukuro but I do like a good jam session, Ohana style.
I opened the image in chop-station on the CMI app. [Cut Me In app] My suggestion is to not rush and don't expect perfection. [FYI the free version has a TON of pop-up adds that are annoying.]
EXAMPLE-B
EXTRA TIP: The next pic is what an edit looks like when I take a snap shot with my iPad and open it in InstaCollageFREE [ICF]. I only did this to give the pic a yellow frame for posting. [EXAMPLE B]
The dashboard in ICF has so many choices and it's best to let the pic shine so don't pic a busy frame. I like using the ICF app when I'm branding a color or when I'm using more then one pic. [Example A]
At the end of-it-all I didn't want a frame. When you get comfortable using these photo apps you'll be cooking oatmeal and creating stuff while you wait. PEACE be the Journey.
These are the two apps I used and changed the color with iPads picture editing.
Then I went to work erasing the background with the "Cut Me In" app pasted it to one of their backdrops. Saved. Finally I opened it in "A+ Signature" to add the words.
Yes I typed "ChNged" instead of "Changed."
I was content with the image but I decided to upload it to my Instagram account and squared the image while darkening it, just for fun. Thanks for checking out my blog and if you want to keep in touch subscribe through email.
