Somerset Digital Studio*Premier Issue*It's a winner! :)

I had such a nice surprise today. I got an email from a very kind person that told me she had seen my altered photos in the new Somerset Digital Studio issue. Just a short note, but it made my day and I naturally ran right up to B & N to find the magazine.

I walked in, trying not to run, and went right to my favorite spot, the craft magazines! My eyes searched hoping it would be there and sure enough, THERE IT WAS!!!!



I grabbed it and sat down before even getting my usual Caramel Light Frappacino!

I decided to start at the back, because I figured the photos would be small and in the gallery section. Well, imagine my surprise when I saw this instead:



I honestly had to look twice and my heart pounded and I just had to let out a big fat LAUGH!!!!!! Fat laugh??? Well, yes, it was probably heard all over the store. One man sitting close to me looked up from his newspaper to see what all the commotion was about, hoping someone would please escort the mentally disturbed person OUT immediately! Well, actually, none of that is true...I just sat there staring and thinking,"This just can not be." I quietly closed the magazine, got up and walked around with it clutching it close to my heart, just waiting for someone to steal it from me! Silly me....but you know...I'd told my husband and sons about it this morning, and they just kind of acted like "Oh, she got that funny looking art published in a magazine, what's the big deal??" Then my husband started his usual teasing...about how he was now married to a famous artist!

Anyway, it sure did make my day and I had to share on here. I have yet to read the rest of the magazine, but it looks like a GOODIE!




This is one by one of my very favorite artists, Michelle Ward...can't wait to read it!

Another article about digital enhancement by Gail Blair. I don't know about you, but I just love playing on the computer with my photos, and I'm sure I'll find some great tips in this one!



One for scrapbookers:


My favorite, digital collaging!


And just ONE more look at this one...bear with me! I used the old album belonging to my grandmother to hold the page open. Isn't it pretty? I treasure it and all it's contents.



BETZIE SMITH??? Who is that person?? My grandmother is laughing hysterically at seeing herself published and I'm laughing right along with her...oh, if she were only alive right now so I could run over and show her in person!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Louisa, you are my muse and my dear dear grandmother whom I will love forever and ever!!! Keep inspiring me MOM!
