“app” happy wednesday #32

February 11, 2015 by Barb 12 Comments

Hello friends, and welcome to “app” happy wednesday #32!

If you’re new to the party, this is a weekly link-up to share your photos edited with “apps” of any kind! Let me stress there are no rules!! Just join the fun and share any kind of artsy creation.

I’m freshly back home from our little Arizona get-away and whew! I hit the ground running … I’m racing to finish up a Photoshop tutorial. I always like to use the quote “there’s no better motivator than the last minute” and I prove it to be right time and again (insert roll-eyes here.)

So for today, I present my “walk on the lake” in Distressed FX because I feel distressed … but by Friday all will be well, and I’ll be ready to party! It’s my birthday and our whole family is coming to help celebrate. We plan to spend a fair bit of time outside enjoying our winter wonderland; skating, sledding, and having hot chocolate. On Saturday we’re going out for dinner as I’m not on kitchen duty – woot! It’s a BIG birthday … hmmm … I may share a bit about it next week …

app happy wednesday, distressed winter

So that’s it for me today. Now, let’s see what you’ve been up to!

  • Use any “app” you like and perhaps explain how you used it. Did you use just one? Did you use several?
  • Simply create some art. Post it on your blog or Flickr or wherever you are uploading your work, and then come back here and link it up!
  • Visit a few friends to see what they are up to and perhaps learn some fabulous new tips and techniques.
  • Link back with a text link or use the “app” happy wednesday button which you will find at the bottom of this post.
  • Each party will start at 5:00 am on Wednesdays and will stay open until the following Sunday at midnight.

    WOW!!! This is my kind of image (the kind I wish I took)- love the minimalism and soft tones- so beautiful! Have a happy significant birthday! I’m guessing that I know which one it is- and I have to say that particular birthday was probably my favorite one ever (until the next one). And you, Barb, are in a creative upswing- the best is yet to come! Have a wonderful, wonderful day- and YEAR! Happy Happy Birthday!!!

    Hope it’s ok if I link up twice! Love your Distressed image. So calming rather than distressing. It seems like a lot of us are having ‘big’ birthdays this year. Interesting that I wrote about aging on my blog today….

    Beautiful! It captures the essence of the snowy landscape so perfectly. And … Happy Birthday. I’m tomorrow so we’re just one day apart. Who knew? {Different ages, though.}

    Love your distressed image! It looks like a painting and I think you should print it really big and hang it on the wall! Hope you have a very happy birthday. Remember, we’re not getting older, just better and that especially goes for you! You are doing some great things, my friend. Keep it up!
