Photo Art Friday - April 13, 2012

Happy Friday the 13th! - And a Happy Birthday to my niece, Shelby (although she doesn't read my blog)...but she'll be over today for her Macaroni and Cheese lunch so maybe I'll remind her to pop by my blog from time to time.  ETA: Photo's of the Birthday Girl Below.

This week Bonnie (Pixel Dust Photo Art) gave us the option of "any" piece of photo art or using a Quote, Poem, Saying etc...that has significance to us.  I love using quotes but this time I decided to go with a Scripture instead.  I think this particular one is significant to me in that it's something I need to put into action a little more often then I do.






























I love how this turned out and am thinking about having a Canvas done and hanging this in my living room.
Here is the photo I started with:






























I uploaded my photo to PicMonkey and did some adjustments and then added a texture from their site called, Paint and added the Scripture verse.  I can't believe how different it looks from my original photo.

Please stop in on Bonnie's blog and check out the links to the other participants.  It's always a pleasure to see such awesome Photo Art.

ETA: Here are photos of the Birthday Girl:
Here she is enjoying her Macaroni and Cheese (with bacon) that I fixed her for her Birthday Lunch.

Something to remember her special day.
