If we live good lives, the times are also good. As we are, such are the times. ~ Saint Augustine of Hippo
I am in love with evening light. It is so perfect and it does things to your photos that’s near magical. I am putting together a tutorial on how I edited this. It’s super easy and the results are so pretty! I’ll be posting it soon at my website, OpenScrapbook.


I’m so happy spring is here! After being sick with the flu all last week, this is a very welcome sight! My lilacs are getting ready to bloom, my weeping cherry trees are blossoming, my lilies and irises are sprouting… I just love this time of year! What do you love about spring?
On all of these photos I used two of my Photo Veils from The Simplicity Collection: Northern Lights and Winter Jasmine. You can find them at my website, OpenScrapbook, as well as great photography and photoshop tutorials! We also have a fun community with a forum and gallery! Come over and join the fun!





Last week I saw green for the first time on my lilac bush. Today I see the buds opening! I have never watched nature doing its job like this before, and I totally love it! It’s so neat to see how much can happen week to week!
I am working on a tutorial on how I processed this photo. It will be up at OpenScrapbook in the near future so keep your eyes out!

I found this teeny, tiny waterdrop on my lilac buds today. It was the only one I could see. I wonder how it’s lasted in this strong wind we’ve been having.
