Fridays Finds
Hi!! Dawn here with this Friday’s finds. Last weekend I was so blessed to be part of my Cousins wedding. We took so many photos and had a great time celebrating with family. This week I have been scrapbooking all of the photos we have collected from friends and family. This is a perfect time, Shutterfly has fantastic Mothers Day deals and this weekend there are so many specials for the iNSD weekend at With Love studio. At Shutterfly you can Save $15 off a $30 Shutterfly.com purchase on 5/7 with code PERFECTGIFT and receive it in time for Mother’s Day. Here is a page I did of my Best Friend and my youngest 3 kids. I have placed this page on a 16 oz travel mug from Shutterfly. I love that I can use designs from WLS and use on the products at Shutterfly.
Bright!!
When I saw this month’s swatch for the Lovely Colors at With Love Studio, it instantly reminded me of Rainbow Brite. Seeing the characters brings me back to my childhood Saturday mornings watching cartoons with my sisters.
So here is Bright- my little tribute to 1980′s nostalgia! And the best part is, each pack is just $1 (along with the other Lovely Colors packs at WLS this week).
And here is a too-cute layout by Shanna. Wasn’t she a beautiful Rainbow Brite?!

Thursday’s Tidbits – Rainbow Effect Tutorial
Hello! Crystal here, and it’s been raining A LOT where I live, so I thought I might cheer everything up with showing you a really simple way to create a rainbow effect on your photos. This is fun to do for lots of different types of photos – so just let yourself go and give it a try! I’d love to see any layouts you do with this fun technique.
This tutorial is for Photoshop – the program I’m most familiar with. If you have any questions, please ask me in the comments and I’ll try to help you out.
First, open your photo up in Photoshop. Go to “Hue/Saturation. Mine is on my right had side, but if your version is different, you can find it by going to the tool bar on top and opening, “Image>Adjustments>Hue Saturation.
Edit your “Master” setting by putting the top slider bar at 0, the second one at -70, and the third one at 0 also.
Next, create a new layer and set it to “Soft Light” under the Blend Mode. Choose a 48 px hard brush and paint the new layer as shown. You can choose whatever colors you like.
When you’re finished painting, go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and set it for 90 pixels (You can adjust this until you’re happy with the results.
Have lots of fun with this! Here are a few more samples I’ve made to show you how easy and versatile this trick can be.
