A while back I showed you this beautiful illustrated recipe from Eva Juliet, free for you to download. Illustrated recipes seem to be quite the thing. Here's another I found the other day on the lovely forty-sixth at grace blog, illustrated by Melinda Josie. And on a side note you really must check out the Herriott Grace shop, if not for the amazing photography of their gorgeous products!
Even if you don't make them, this will look gorgeous on the kitchen wall!
I really like Instagram photos. Trouble is, I don't own an iPhone, and probably never will. So the next best thing is to just fake the damn things. I had a trundle around on the net and found Daniel Box who'd taken the trouble to make some rather convincing (and free) Instagram Photoshop Actions (thank you Daniel). I'll demonstrate the effects on a picture of my little boy, Leo.
Here's the original photo straight out the camera:
And here are the 12 filters in the set:
Rather nice aren't they! The set also includes some of the frames that you see on Instagram pics. But what is missing is the waffle effect frame on the original photo up there. So I made one! You will need Photoshop - just hit this button to download.
I'm always a little late off the mark with these things... I know I should have been thinking about this way back in October or something, but life always seems to get in the way and before I know it, the new year has kicked off without a calendar in sight. I've been busy over the past few days and so far I have produced two new 5x7" printable calendars which will find their way into the store very soon...
This first one is called 'Through the Forest' and features beautiful vintage etchings of flowers and fruits. The first five people to comment below with their email address will receive a free pdf of the calendar!
