Photography


Time for a new challenge at The Outlawz Anything Goes in a Card Free Zone
 and the optional theme is...World Photography Day!  Use a Photo in your project or include something photography inspired.

I love photography and can spend hours setting up shots and thinking of new ways to shoot 'the same ol' stuff'!  Believe it or not, I have lots of horse photos...hahaha!  So, I decided to focus more on some creative takes on the headstall and bit.  Luckily, I have a horse who will stand for photos!  He knows it is a lot easier than working!  ;)

Then I took my photos and edited in I-photo and PhotoScape. 

Once I was happy with the pics, the fun began in Canva.  Here I played with digital papers, elements, and shadows.  I'm still learning Canva; it's an interesting program.  

If you are interested in learning Canva techniques, I recommend the videos by Sande Woodson!  Here's a link to her channel.
She is quite knowledgeable about this technology/crafting medium!
 
  I finished the project in PhotoScape where I added the frame and watermark.  

Material List:
Digital Elements from Canva and Stash
Digital Elements from Kitten Scraps (Retired), but you can find her designs here:  My Memories
Digital Elements Touched by a Butterfly "Music"  (Retired) 
Digital Paper from Whimsy
Programs:  Canva and PhotoScapeX
Photos of Jake 2024 taken by Katrina (me) using my phone...nothing special!

My project is off to the following challenges:  

Sparkles Monthly:  One for the Boys
Crafter's Cafe:  I'm going AG without twist
Critter Crazy:  AG featuring a Critter
CRAFT:  Summer
Four Seasons:  Summer
My Time to Craft:  Summertime Fun ~For me that's photography and horses!

Be sure to visit  Anything Goes in a Card Free Zone
