Hello!!!
One thing that I have been working really hard on right now is our wedding album. I’ve done 65 pages thus far. I’ve still got more to do. But I’m getting there. It’s not scrappy by any means. I’m editing the photos and placing them on just a plain white background.
Anywhoo . . . . .
I got married to the man of my dreams 3 years ago. Everything about our wedding was perfect. The perfect guest’s (all 32 of them), the perfect beach, the perfect reception, food etc. Or so we thought…. well till we got the pictures. Yikes!
Exhibit A:
Awwwww so sweet our first kiss as Husband & Wife. So special! This is what it is all about. . . . . right??? Just my husband and me…..
Exhibit B:
Apparently not!!! Look at that tourist….wait no thats our photographers husband. Holy cow!!! Really???? Oh and hey hi Fran!!! Hahahahah I see you peeking . . . . where did all those people come from. Romantic and sweet…NOT!
Hmmmm what else. . . oh I have more I can keep going!
Exhibit A:
Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Amir Chokr!!!!!!!!
Exhibit B:
More like . . . introducing Mr. & Mrs. Amir Chokr & Photographer!!!! Yey! Not the kind of threesome my husband was expecting. Hahaha!
Exhibit A: Now this picture isnt all that bad…. really it isnt. Just a little dark….for my taste really & harsh flash. Atleast we don’t have a 3rd unwanted guest in the picture.
Exhibit B: Ahhhh now this is more like it!!!
And the grand finale…. you always save the best for last right????? Right. . . . .
Exhibit A:
Do you see anything odd about this image? Hmmmmm. You’re right my heart shape ring is upside down. Now tell me why the photographer didnt catch that? Ayayayayay!
Exhibit B:
No retouched photo of this. We’ve tried so hard to flip my ring around but it just doesnt look right. Oh well….. however way you look at it our rings are still awesome! High five amir! I designed my wedding band…. Amir and I designed his…high roller had diamonds all around the sides… you cant see it in this pic. Amir designed my engagement ring. Good job dude!!!
There’s actually a lot more where these babies came from. The wedding pics with UFO’s (unidentified floating objects) I mean. I think maybe this is why it has taken me 3 years to work on our wedding album. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to learn how to use photoshop. Granted I’m not perfect but I’m satisfied with what I know. So I’ve taken it upon myself to edit my wedding pics the way I want them to look. So far so good!!!!
I’ll share my album when I finish. That will be in another 3 months.
Talk to you all soon!!!!!
Mwah,
Today I’m Grateful for: a lot of heartaches went into planning our wedding etc etc blah blah. but now thats over…im living a life that i never imagined i could have. i still wonder sometimes if i deserve it. im a very lucky girl. im truly grateful!!!

Hello! Glad to be back! Thank you so much for the comments. I’m so glad that you guys are still there and I’m popping on your reader too. Whew! Please keep sticking around. I’m so excited about this year! I think we all are destined for something great! I also believe whole heartedly that we are in “full control” of our destiny. We go as far as we try!!! So join me this year as I learn new things and see where it takes me. So about learning new things… to start the year I signed up for 2 classes. Maggie Holmes Basic Photography Class and an Carina Gardners Illustrator 101. Both started this week. Yikes! Luckily I took today off and was able to take both classes on my day off. My verdict so far??? Worth what I paid for!!! They are both amazing teachers! I have some Illustrator samples to show you….see below. Keep in mind i have never used Adobe Illustrator before. So far I’m loving it! But first I wanted to share some cards I made while I was MIA.

Hey All! No creation here today. But I do want to share how I store my Unity Stamps and my SU stamps. Even though I have a scrap room I still lack space. SU stamps unlike CTMH stamps are bulky. They take up a lot of space and I wasn't about to have that. So I googled this problem of mine awhile back and found some great ideas.
