Happy Friday to all of you! Can you believe that this is the last Friday in July? Next month will be August. Where does the time go???
We have had a steady stream of visitors for the past week and a half, this weekend will be a lull, and then my dear daughter and her two sweet girls will arrive for an extended visit. I hope to maintain my blogging schedule, but if you don’t hear from me, I am probably awash in Winnie the Pooh, coloring books, and possibly glitter.
This weekend, over at my Scrap Takeout store, I have a few items in the Snack Bar for only $1 each:
And, in some exciting news, I have had some truly wonderful responses to my CT call. I’ll be introducing them to you over the next few weeks. Ann has been working with me for a few months now, and she just finished this layout, using my Fruit of the Spirit Overlays:

Now for your Friday Features:
Here’s a great article from the Daily Digi on How to Work the Shot.
I use Lightroom for all my photographs now, and I really like Matt Kloskowski’s presets. He had a great post this past week about adding a sunflare effect.
Here’s a quick tutorial from Designer Digitals on how to give your photos a sepia tone, in either PS or PSE.
My DD and her Littles are coming next week, and I think this would be a great project to do with her while she’s here: Little mini resin portraits.
Joy is not necessarily the absence of suffering, it is the presence of God.
