things i love thursday

its thursday.
and im sick. :(
but i still have some fun things to share. i've missed doing my {things i love} thursday post for almost a month, so i have a little of bit collected inspiration. :)

to begin with... my flickr faves

1. 19/52, 2. summer starts now, 3. run away, 4. sweet umber <3, 5. roots and wings, 6. the world is her playground

 photographer Anna Gay and her interview all about her 365 self-portrait projects.  her work is such an inspiration to me. 

i am loving this tutorial by the lovely and talented tina.  gotta give some of these ideas a try soon!! 

loved these affirmations and the article they came from.  its all about overcoming insecurity in scrapbooking.  powerful thoughts and encouragements. 

i totally loved this fun tutorial all about still-life setups and using textures on your photos. its from the CoffeeShop blog which is full of amazing free actions and lots of unique tutorials.  if you haven't visited rita's site yet, its a must!!   i've done a few textures on my 52weeks pictures, but this photoshop tutorial looks so fun.  gonna try soon! 

Ashley Ann's blog is one of my favorite regular reads.  its full of life with her kid-lets, amazing photography and inspiring DIY projects.  the most helpful tip post she did recently included a tutorial about getting in focus using self-timer mode on your camera.  this post had perfect timing for me because one of the things i get to do over at Scrapbooking from the Inside Out is create a fun tutorial every month as part of our member exclusive content.  and i want my tutorial pictures to look good!!   i learned something new from her...and its a usual occurrence.  she makes me want to create and take better pictures. 

there are some online {things i love} for this wonderful thursday.
have a good one!!
