Foto Friday- Day 2- How to look like a zombie without even really trying!

Well, I see none of you voted on my handy little blog-gadget! :P I posted this on my Facebook and I got two votes for zombies and zero for vampire, so zombie it is!

Note: When I started this, it wasn't midnight yet! haha :)

Step 1:

Click on the "Featured" tab. Scroll down to where you see the "Reanimated" section. Click on "Ghoul Eye"!

Step 2:

Arrow 1 is pointing to the color of eye that you can make your eyes. Arrow 2 is pointing to the brush size. Adjust the brush size to the size of your pupils. Read about Arrows 3 and 4 (glaze and fade) on the "About Ghoul Eye" box on the photo. Apply when done!

Step 3:

Click on Zombify 2.0. Arrow 2 is pointing to what color you can change your skin to, arrow 3 is pointing to brush size, arrow 4 is pointing to decay, and arrow 5 is pointing to fade. It will help to read the description box that I put next to my photo. Start painting!

**Note, my skin looks a bit different than yours will because I put 2 layers on. I accidentally clicked apply before doing a screen capture, so I applied it a second time.

Step 4:

Yes, I cropped the photo inbetween steps 3 and 4. I added a nice finishing touch by rounding the corners. 

Finished product:

Taaaaaa daaaaa! :D Don't I look scary? :D

Well, that's all for now. I might do a vampire one tomorrow if I have time, because I had really set my cap to doing it haha :) Plus next friday I am going to be really busy getting ready for my Youth Symphony concert! 

Have a great day and don't forget your camera!

So, since Halloween is just around the corner, I decided to do a Foto Friday post using Picnik's Halloween editors. However, there are two different routes I could take. I could do:

A) Vampire

OR



B) Zombie

Please vote on the voting tab on the right! :D On Friday, whichever has the most votes will be published! And if it's a close call, I might do the next one the next day or something like that. :) Start voting and share with your friends! :D

Have a great day and don't forget your camera!

Life is too short to be "normal"!

So, you know, capturing the little things in life is important.

Foto Friday-Day 1- How to make something (like an instrument) POP!

I have decided to make Fridays "Foto Friday". That's where I show you how to do your photos like mine :D Sometimes, its just by sheer luck that I get a photo the way I want it, other times it's more deliberate. Today, I will show all of you how to make something (like an instrument or person or other object) POP!

I'm going to use this photo: (it is also seen in this post)

***Note: I am using Picnik for this. I do not know how to do it anywhere else!***

You can do this with any photo, and of course you can experiment after step 6. :)

You can also click any photo on the post here and it will just pop up and will be alot bigger. It will not open in another tab unless you right-click on it and open it up another tab.

Eagle Rock Junior High and Skyline Highschool Orchestra Concert! (Oct. 13, 2011)

I just realized that I didn't post last night! :O I remember what I was going to post about, but I guess I never posted it...

Well, last night, the Eagle Rock Junior High and Skyline Highschool Orchestras had their first concert! :D Unfortunately, I was not apart of it... Things just didn't work out with online school this year. :/ I did go to the concert though, and they all did GREAT! :D My camera decided to be a pain last night though... I got a few different photos, but I only video taped 2 of the songs. My camera wanted me to reformat my card like 5 times... and then the battery over-heated... then it needed to be reformatted again... I swear that whenever I want to video tape a orchestra concert, it goes on the fritz! xP Gah! Well, anyway, I want to show you a cool photo I got and then edited once I got home.

The Skyline Orchestra!

Don't they look awesome? It's because they are! They are amazing and they did so great at the concert last night! :D Makes me really really REALLY sad that I'm not with them this year... :/ If they had a party to celebrate, they all totally deserve it :D (And Orch Dorks always have an orchestra party after a successful concert! It's tradition!) :)

Well, hopefully I can get the 2 videos up soon for all of you to see. :) Maybe I'll put a second post up later tonight. Well, I gotta run! Have a great day and don't forget your camera! :)

Cellos, cellos, and more cellos :D

Hey it's my 4th post IN A ROW!! :D *Virtual high-five to whoever is reading this* haha :) Soooooooo.... I'm stumped... Hey I know! You know my favorite artist, Steven Sharp Nelson? Well he came out with this FANTASTIC and AWESOME video of "Nearer My God to Thee" for 9 CELLOS. Let me repeat, 9 CELLOS!!!!!! Now how cool is THAT? :D Though, if you wanted to play it in sacrament meeting, how would you fit all 9 Cellists up there? O.o haha I'm sure I would find a way! :) And because I love you all SOOOOOO much, I will put the link right here. I'll even embed it in here, so you have no excuses for not watching it. :D

Most awesome video everrrrrrrr!! 

Next to Moonlight, of course!

General Conference

"Compared to God, we are nothing. But to God, we are everything."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Let me tell you, I LOVE general conference!

Hey I remembered! :D

Well, I must be doing good if I remembered to post the 2nd day in a row! :) Not much went on today, so I'll just post a pic or two from summer vacation that you might like. :D

The first 4 photos were taken at West Piney Girls Camp. We were up there for ward campout. (Mom didn't let me take the camera to girl's camp this year. Boo-hoo!)

Hey there!

I just realized that I have neglected my blog for a few months and left you guys on a few cliff hangers! I know I'm a terrible person and I am SO sorry! I'm sure you will forgive me though. :) I have just been so dang-crazy-busy lately, you know? School, seminary, taking care of Beth, eat, sleep, and repeat (and much more in between!)! I'm just going to put a few photos up and resolve one of the cliff hangers today though, because today is another busy day!

Now, to resolve the cliff hanger of what Beth wore to her baptism:

My little Sis is growing up! :D

This next Saturday (and the Saturday after that), is going to be very special for my family :D You see, my little sister is turning 8 and getting baptized. :D The 30th she will turn 8 (they day after I get back from Girl's camp!), and on the 6th she will get baptized. :) She doesn't seem that old! And she is so tiny too! Our cousin (who just turned old enough to be a Priest) will baptize her. It's going to be a special event! She will then be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! :D

But, I need your help!

We have 3 different dresses, and we can't decide on which one. I am going to post pictures and I would like you to vote on them to help me and my family. Of course, it's Beth's decision, but it might help if we have some tips and advice.

ThePianoGuys, Steven Sharp Nelson and Jon Schmidt!

So, as you know, I play the Cello. I've gotten to meet a few amazing Cellists as well.One of them is Steven Sharp Nelson! (I would link you to his site, but it's been compromised again. :/ If you are willing to go though, it is http://www.stevensharpnelson.com) I first got his Sacred Cello CD in Christmas 2009 I believe. I got it at the Deseret Book store in my area. I got it because I haven't been able to find very many LDS Cello CDs. I immediately fell in love with his music! As I have gotten more familiar with his music, he has become more of a star in the eyes of the world. He has recently teamed up with ThePianoGuys. ThePianoGuys is a music dealer in St. George, Utah. They decided to combine their video-making skills with the amazing artists who were coming though their store. You might recognize their name because they won YouTube's on-the-rise channel contest last month. Steven is just one of the many.

Moonlight! It just came out this week! :D

I first got to meet Steven a few months ago up in Rexburg where he was playing with Paul Cardall. Before hand, I had just really met him online though email, you tube, and Facebook. Let me tell you, when I met him in person, I was so excited my hands were shaking! I was like a little girl meeting one of those Disney stars... I even brought my camera! But I was so excited I forgot to get a picture! (I think that can tell you how excited I was, because, you know me, a complete shutter bug!) It was a great concert though! :D It was mainly about Paul, but he let Steven and Marshal McDonald play for a few minutes. Let me tell you, I was in laughing fits the entire time! XD Let me write a portion of what I wrote for my journal entry that day:

Hey there!

Hi there everyone! I just thought I would let you know that I was still alive. :) I'm writing a kinda-long blog post, so that is why I haven't blogged in a while... I have gotten some awesome photos though! I think you will like them! :D

Before and after!

rainbow!! :D

Yesterday we had a rainstorm, and afterwords, there was this stunning rainbow! :D Of course, you can tell it was edited... but it still looks pretty cool! :D

I've started to use the Picnik photo editor as well as Befunky. Fotoflexer seems to be down though. :/ They all have their strengths and weaknesses.

I hope you like how I re-did the blog as well. I really didn't like the way it looked. I really like it now, and I hope you like it too! (Especially because I figured out how to create more than one page! :D yay!)
