Pink snow...for a Pink Saturday.
I discovered how to create pink snow thanks to a class I am taking over at Kim Klassen's Cafe.
She teaches her workshops on-line, I took the free Skinny-Mini first and then signed up for The Test Kitchen. It's worth it alone for all the freebie backgrounds, tutorials and notes. Here is a link to her amazing gallery.She teaches most videos with tips and shortcuts for a PC, and Mac.
Kim tells you how to get each effect whether you are using Creative, Photoshop or early versions of Photoshop Elements,
or Photoshop Elements 9.
I use Photoshop Elements 8. I am amazed at what I can do in Elements whether creating digital paintings
or learning how to use layering for my photography.
Thanks to Kim, I am in love with using her beautiful backgrounds to create magic.
and different ways to add text.
I guess you would say I am in Photoshop heaven.
Speaking of heaven my P.S. today is I found one of our Pink ladies on Kim's flickr group. Her name is Betty Jo and her blog is Betty Jo's View. Her photography is beautiful.
Make sure you visit Bev from How Sweet The Sound to see all the many pink posts today. The name of the song for this post is Nine Million Bicycles.
~the sweetest pink snow i have ever seen...so beautiful each one of these pictures...i love what you have created here...layers is something i have wanted to learn...adds such a unique dimension to a photograph...thank you so for sharing...much love light and many pink filled blessings~
I am impressed with pink snow! Is the ability to how awesome caption on photos comes with only photoshop or does it come with photoshop elements too? I just bough PE but have not installed yet. I love the SNOW caption. Did you take an online course or in person? I so love blogs for all the fantastic information that is shared by wonderful people such as yourself. BTW can you give me a few photo blogs parties perhaps?
Me again, so sorry, I am leaving anytime I get this laptop packed and in the car. My hubby will go without me soon. I should not be trying to write comments when I know I should be in the car already, lol. I said, "caption" when I meant "text". Also I checked into Kim's site and bookmarked as a favorite to find later. My passion is photography but until just a few months ago I never had time to learn much. Now I cannot get enough of seeing everyone's fantastic photos, learning what they do, etc etc. hence I have to pack this laptop NOW. Thank you for understanding. I am your newest follower.
Wow! This is so cool - something I've wanted to know how to do. I'm going to have to check out the website you mentioned. Great job! The snow is just beautiful.
Blessings,
Tricia
Happy Pink Saturday!
Love all these photography effects!

It looks like a fairytale winter wonderland! How whimsical and fun!

I love the pink snow, it looks like spring blooms. Maybe I wouldn't mind winter so much with pink snow. Nope, I'd still hate the cold! Oh well, it sure looks good in your photos:>) Can you believe I don't have photoshop yet? It's on my some day wishlist.
A beautiful way to see the world. I love the pink snow and only wish. You have learned so much and it's all so pretty.
Happy Pink Saturday, Char
Magnificent as always dear heart!!! PINK SNOW..now that is a way to celebrate what most people are getting sick of; but it too shall pass and pink flowers will be filling our hearts!!! BONNE JOURNÉE, Anita
wow pink snow is fantastic and that sounds like a fabulous class you're taking. i especially love the magical photo. happy pink saturday!
Love the way you played with all the images.
You bring your photos to life with these techniques! And thank you so much for writing to me today and giving me some advice on starting an art journal! I went to Michael's this afternoon and got a book that I'm going to start with! Eventually I want to make a book! I so appreciate that you took the time to write and share your ideas! Hugs! ♥♥♥
Pink snow...I might enjoy another snowstorm if the snow were pink. You know I've never visited Bev for Pink Saturday, though I've certainly enjoyed many bloggers' posts who do participate. Your class sounds like a lot of fun. Of course, you'd love Photoshop Heaven! :D
Oh how fun! I love the easy to use Picnik.com with pictures from my digital camera to do some special effects, but one of these days I really must break down and give Photoshop Elements a try. I have to wonderful photographers in my family who are so skilled at it and it just lets you do so much. Your pictures are gorgeous! Thanks for an inspiring Pink Saturday. :)
I am always inspired by all your photos. One day I hope to be in Photoshop heaven too.,lol. take care.loved the pink snow btw.,have a wonderful week.

And I am going to check out Kim Klassen now. Have you ever looked at Susan Tuttle blog/eclass?
I would like to invite you join my blog party "Being Creative" starting today. I hope you join in!
Hey Darlin
I am taking the same classes and am finding that her way of teaching is PERFECT for my style of learning. (very needy)
She doesnt talk down to us...but shows each step and explains beautifully.
Looks like you are well on your way. Im loving it too. So nice to know my friends are there with me.
Hugs!
Claudia
Oh Karen, I am so happy that you got the LA PETITE FILLE AU BALLON! She is taking quite her time to get to Canada, but has made it to The Netherlands, England and around our states!!! Thank you always, for your kind comments. Oh today, we had plans to get to IKEA for some last details for our new rooms, but we are expected to get 10 inches of snow...it is blizzard conditions now. BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES OUT THERE AND RUN TO STOP AND SHOP and get your milk and bread!!! MUCH LOVE DEAREST, Anita
Happy Pink Saturday, Karen. I am so glad you found Betty Jo. She is incredibly nice and incredibly talented.
Your pink snow is so pretty. I could play in PS endlessly. I want to come play at your house.
