So… I’m so excited! My big project that I have been working on for months now is finally finished! My Simplicity Photo Veils are going to be released this weekend! The set includes 30 original Photo Veil “overlays.” They are so simple to use and they can transform your photos quickly without a lot of work! You don’t need to be an expert at Photoshop to get some really fun, pretty color effects!
I applied two photo veils to my 365 photo today. I was finished editing within 3 minutes! They are so fun! If you haven’t already, head over to my website OpenScrapbook and sign up for our newsletter! We’re going to give you some more information in this week’s letter!


I am so happy I’ve made it this far into Project 365! It has definitely been a challenge this winter to find things to photograph, I’m sure a flower girl! I love taking photos of flowers, but they’re pretty hard to come by in the winter! I decided to pull out my Inspiration List I created for a Project 365 article I wrote for OpenScrapbook. I closed my eyes and randomly pointed and I landed on “Secrets.” Hmm…secrets. It sounded a bit difficult but I made myself go with it! That was the whole point of choosing with my eyes closed! So I go outside and this is what I find! Those sneaky little nasty wasps! We just can’t get rid of them! I had no idea they were hiding in our pine tree! Isn’t it funny how things work out? I go looking for secrets and I find this! Well, they won’t be finding they’re hideout come spring… We’re knocking that thing out of there!


I processed my photo with my Simplicity Photo Veils. They’re going to be released at OpenScrapbook very, very soon! I have a couple samples included in my latest tutorial featured at I Heart Faces. Go try them out! You will LOVE them!!
Here is what I used on this photo:
Remember Me – Soft Light blending mode at 100 % opacity
Aurora – Soft Light blending mode at 45% opacity
Brave – Soft Light blending mode at 60% opacity

My final vintage camera that I ordered a couple weeks ago has finally arrived! Isn’t it so cute? I love the names they gave cameras back then… “Brownie Starflex,” “Brownie Holiday…” They’re so cute! I’m so excited to try out “Through-the-Viewfinder” photography now. I’ve got two cameras to experiment with, I just need to make the tube things to block out light. Hopefully I can get that made this week!
