Creatif Photographie: Peach Wedding Dress
















Here's a gorgeous collection of photographs for romantiques like myself.  Spring & love are in the air.  These photographers have created the essence of beauty, wedding bliss & finely loved vintage items that rivet my eyes.

The pretty pearl braclet in the {creatif photographie} collection may be found here.  And while your browsing, here is another bauble, a Humming Bird Pearls bracelet.  Springly-sweet!  Made by Pat & Mike Cruse who live across the big pond in Stonehaven, Scotland and have an online shoppe.  I adore humming birds & PEARLS!




























Among the photographers, is the lovely, Ivy, and her amazing blog!  She has a delectable palette for beauty and art.  Visit her blog at Curate & Love, " your daily dose of art & photography.  You will be thrilled with the places her posts take your souls!

News & Events: Bonjour Creatifs!


motivating YOU to get YOUR groove on!


















PHOTOGRAPHY:


She looks just a little bit happy, huh?  It's Spring Break!


And she inherited the ol' Canon Rebel XTi after I upgraded to a Canon 60D.  We organized all of our photos, backed them up, and packed up the Rebel's gear for my daughter's Spring Break Trip to Arkansas! 


Lots of the photographs from this trip will be sheer inspiration for our MONDAY LINKY PARTY Color Challenges. What she lacks in camera how-to, she amply makes up for with creative artistry.  Her photos have interesting depth, lighting, still life, architecture & natural technique!  The mountains are such a beautiful landscape & Arkansas has lots of antique, country charm that begs to be appreciated.  She was on a mission to capture some cool shots and clear her over-worked, college grad brain. 


I simply cannot wait to dig into those photos & show you all!


Rating = A+++

Here's a sneak peek preview of a NEW ALPHA SET:


Calligraphic Connotations.

Old World Charm, the Papier Creatif crown & relaxed calligraphy to accent your wonderful pages ... Hopefully, this will make you smile.  Distressed is THE BEST, afterall! ;)


And I can totally see using a lotta blending modes on these alpha tags in layouts to add pizazz! 
  • Use alpha on paper as a watermark

  • Make it look like a wax seal

  • Let a large portion blend into the background for interest

  • Use it on a chain

  • Use it on a ribbon

  • Add a brad on it

  • Spell out your loved one's name
