Polka Dot Thought: Fix it Friday...Er Um...Sunday!

Fix it Friday...Er Um...Sunday!

So I was a little late in contributing my 'Fix it Friday' photo for the I Heart Faces blog...but better late than never! The original photo (below) is so beautiful in itself! However, I must say editing this one was a lot of fun (especially since I had more time this time than the last one completed during my lunch break!).

Original:

In looking at this photo titled 'beauty', this little girl looked like she would be a sweet dancer. Once I envisioned her as a dancer, my creativity soared from there. While editing and imagining this little girl as a dancer, the song 'Tiny Dancer' came to mind (and is now stuck in my head). I really wanted to capture soft angles and coloring in this image when editing. I also wanted to add some creative swirls/scrolls. Hope you enjoy my attempt at editing this photo, and be sure to check out other amazing edits on the I Heart Faces blog!

I appreciate you checking out my blog. I welcome any comments and ideas! Remember, these ideas I share are just a thought...a polka-dot thought! Thank you.

Born and raised in the south, I’m a true southern girl at heart. With my "blood running orange" and having spent my childhood with a marker and paper in my hand, I attended Clemson University to earn a degree in Graphics. While rolling up the sleeves and getting creative at Clemson, I met my wonderful husband.

We have been married over 2 years and are so blessed with our fur babies, family and friends. Having another true passion for the salty air and sand between the toes, we moved to the beach in 2007. We have 3 fur babies, all of which hold special places in our hearts and have very different personalities.

Besides the TV constantly being on HGTV, I am always researching new DIY projects, thus sparking my idea for sharing the projects I have done in the past. I hope you enjoy my blog and feel free to comment or share any creative ideas you may have! Thank you.
