From the Heart
I just got my new MacBook Pro and this is my first attempt at photo editing using the iPhoto program. I'm still learning, and as you can see, I wasn't able to add my watermark...but I love the matte edge! Anybody out there with an Apple computer who uses the iPhoto program?
Stamps: Watercolor Trio
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Basic Black CS, Bella Bleu DSP
Ink: Black Stazon

Love that wide ribbon you used, Stacey. Fabulous card with these colours!
Certainly one of your best cards lately, Stacey! I couldn't think how to make these colours work with a classy look, and you just showed me how - and OUCH! I wish I thought of it myself! :D Beautiful!!!
(reminds me so much of Julie Lacey's work too)
Like the color challenge!
I have a Mac, haven't owned anything but for like 15+ years.
I use iPhoto only as a way to keep all my photos organized. I use Photoshop to actually edit the photos. If I need just some quick prints I print with minimal changes from iPhoto, but otherwise it's all Photoshop. I change the photos, then save a copy on my desktop, then drop the changed photo (with a different name) back into iPhoto, and put it back in the original event. That way I still have the original, and the touched up copy still in one "event".
It's really good at providing different options for organizing photos and movies. That's it's main purpose. Feel free to email with questions if you have any. I'm a huge Mac fan/user and I'm pretty knowledgeable about them.
stunning card Stacey- what a killer bow- just love that ribbon! your photos are great with the soft edges, I am sure you will master the software and the watermark very soon! :)
Beautiful card, Stacey. That big ribbon is fantastic, and you combined these colors perfectly!
This card is gorgeous Stacey!!! I have a Mac but I use PSE to edit my photos and add a watermark. I've never figured out a way to add a watermark in iPhoto.
Your card is simply GORGEOUS!!! Love everything about it! Will have to say...this was a VERY challenging color combo for me.
What a beautiful card! This combination is SO different, great job with it! I have a Mac and use iPhoto, but I edit my photos mostly in Photoshop. Maybe you'll end up teaching me!
How pretty! Love the ribbon and the elegant design! :)
Wow...you are the queen of the ribbons. How you wrestled this wide ribbon is amazing! The whole card is amazing! So elegant!
I've got a Mac too and use GIMP to ass my watermark. I have Photoshop but haven't figured out how to use it...
BEYOOTIFUL ribbon, girlie! SO elegant and simple. :)
Hi Stacey,
great color combo, it was a pleasure for me to play the curtain call #30

This card is beautiful, Stacey! I love the pattern on the kraft paper, and that bow is fabulous!!

Stacey you make these colors work so well for you! :) This was a challenge for me! Your photo is wonderful - I'm sure with time you'll work out all the kinks and then you can put together a tutorial for us amateurs! :)
What a great card.. love the bow and the stick pin. I've been wanting to start a supply of them myself. Thanks for a great challenge..
Fun colours Stacey!
Lesley :)
Another great color combo this week! Thanks for the inspiration! I had fun playing along! :)
This color scared me at first, but I'm really liking them. Your card is wonderful.
This was a fun color combination. Not one I would have thought of.
Fab card and fab challenge. Love these colours :)

Hi Stacey - Thank you for the great color challenge...I will officially be stalking you now! :)
I'm a fairly new Mac user. I bought PSE for Mac but I haven't figured out how to get the watermark on my card that way...so for now I'm transferring my cards after I edit them to my Mac. Speaking of which I really need to figure that out..... LOL!
How pretty!
That big ribbon is fantastic, and you combined these colors perfectly!
Thank you!
Jutta
Stacey, your card is just lovely!! I think I would really struggle with these colors, but obviously you didn't. I just might try them today!
Hi Stacey, Great color combo!! I really enjoy using those colors together.
My link #31 is not the right link. Sorry for the mistake.
I don't think I'll be too quick to try and find a way to combine pink pirouette and pumpkin pie again....but it was fun trying....Mine is the opposite of yours :) Whereas you went for elegant I tried the distressed look...Yours is so much better!

I'm so excited....and I just cant hide it!!!!! It was challenging but I had loads of fun. Thanks.
I had to dig deep to find some Pink Pirouette but I am glad I did. Great challenge, love your card especially the ribbon!
Wow...this was definatly a challenge for me!
Hi Stacey...boy oh boy I almost didn't make this challenge...I did have it on my mind alllllll week...LOL!!! Hope you like it...I loved this color combo :)!!!
