This is a birth announcement that I made for my friend's, Jessica, little girl. The size is 5.5" x 8.5" and the theme is obviously violet butterflies. I just thought there for a second, "I would have made my Color Theory teacher very happy by saying violet and not purple." It seems like that all I do for Graphic Design are things like this; greeting cards, invitations, announcements, and so on... but I like it.
Kelly was a tiny, cute baby... she still is very cute, but not a baby anymore.
Feel free to contact me if you need any sort of digital graphics done for your personal life or business, just send me a message and we will go from there. Happy Imagining!
I've been busy working on a project and I wasn't so sure what I might post, but, then I looked out my kitchen window late this afternoon and saw an interesting scene. The storm is moving into Colorado, I think we will see much snow from this, but it is a reminder that winter is coming (thank you Game of Thrones). This particular tree is starting to turn yellow, the one next to it (not in the picture) is not quite there yet.
Here is a shot looking out my patio door, you can kind of see the cottonwood to the left that hasn't changed yet. I'm not sure what the other tree is that is turning yellow.
Just a couple of photos I wanted to share, love the changing leaves. Happy Imaging!
Since I just came back from a
reception for a couple of my cousins and I was thinking about how much my
family has grown, I thought about my Dad. Today I'm posting one of his
paintings he did not finish, this is actually one of my Mom's favorites. I
imagine that there would have been a deer on the rock in the center, or maybe a
bear by the river; and he would have signed it in the bottom right corner and
dated it.
The reason why I have two
photos of this painting are because I couldn't tell if it looked better with or
without a flash. The first photo is with the flash, the second is without.
This painting looks like some
place that I would go camping in the Rocky Mountains, I swear that I'm going to
find it someday. Until then, Happy Imagining!
I just want to let everyone know that my next blog post will probably be next Monday. I've been a little busy lately, but, I will be back. Until then, Happy Imagining!
This is just a preview of a project I'm working on with my husband. As you can see, we are using the Styrofoam packing blocks you would find in any box that needs cushions; so, of course, that means that we are saving money by reusing something we would throw away, and we are helping the environment by recycling. I will say that this has something to do with a bearded dragon that I do not have yet. This will be my first tutorial, I will explain what materials are needed and the steps to build this thing.
Stay tuned. Happy Imagining!
I am definitely not a photographer, but I like to take pictures. This was taken on May 7, 2009. I really like this picture because it wasn't planned, I mean, I literally sat down on a bench on the 16th Street Mall, saw this scene and took the picture. I'm looking Southwest down 16th Street, you can see the Colorado State Capitol with its gold dome and a full Moon (or almost full Moon). I like how everything is lit up, the clouds over the Moon and the trees aren't fully bloomed yet. The buildings frame the picture perfectly and the Capitol dome and the Moon balance each other.
Pretty cool picture, huh? Feel free to comment or share stuff on the Caliradan Facebook page. I must go. Happy Imagining!
This was just recently found in some of the family stuff (I don't want to call it junk because it's not, it has a purpose). In the late 80's, my Dad liked the Noid, and he had this keyring with the Noid on it. The paint is wearing on his nose, but, other than that, he looks pretty good. It makes me smile when I look at it, so my mom hung him up in my Cool Cat Craft Room.
Well, pizza is ready. Happy Imagining!
