What's your angle?

The next challenge at All About Me is up! It's about seeing the world from your angle. How do you see things? I love this challenge, it reminds me of when I was kid and was fascinated how things looked to other people. I remember lying in bed awake wondering if my green was someone else's orange. I so wanted to trade bodies for a day to see the world that they see.
Here's my contribution: Stop by the AAM blog to see the other fabulous creation the DT came up with!
Thanks for peeking!
P.S. I've got some exiting news to share in the next week here's a teaser:

Up close and personal with spring

I love shooting in macro.
I think it's because most of my pre-scrapping photographic experience was shooting pictures of my jewellery.
However, I really have a tough time shooting macro outdoors. Nothing comes out the way I want it to.Thankfully this past week I had a break through. I realize I usually get embarrassed taking close up photos around strangers and I rush the shot. So, this time I slowed down, relaxed and didn't worry about how crazy I looked. After all, if I saw someone taking a photograph I would think it was cool.
The first two shots are from produce bins in Chinatown. The second is a Magnolia, to which I added a wet plate texture. The last one is water drops that Sidney and I shot after school on Thursday.
All photographs were edited with the Pioneer Woman's actions for Photoshop Elements 5.

Blog Hop!

Welcome to my entry for the All About Me blog hop.

If you didn't start from the AAM blog, please go back there for official instructions on how to put your name in the hat for a fabulous prize from Treasury of Memories.

Our challenge this time was to create a page out a personal flaw. If you know me or read this blog on occasion you know I'm a bit a messy. (Click it to see it bigger). The sad thing is this picture is a couple years old and it actually looks worse now. It's a miracle I'm still married.In honour of the blog hop I'm offering my first ever RAK. I've made a few ribbon rosettes and have a pack of pretty coloured sticky pearls to give away. Leave me a comment about a few layouts you've seen on this blog hop and I will draw a winner on the weekend. (US and Canada only ... sorry!)
Now hop on over to Diana's blog for more eye candy!
