Princess Sarah Graphic Variations

2007-07-22T13:41:00.000-07:00

A few more variations on Sarah's Princess-y birthday pics....

~ this one was made playing around with a tutorial by the lovely Mata of LJ....I love the final result.

~ just another (cute) edited pic made to look a bit vintage.

~ a lovely (normal-sized) wall of Sarah for the another one of the home computers. This kid is like a celebrity in our house, really.

Bubble Fun!

I was going through photos Staci & Chrissy had taken of Sarah & posted on the Journey2Sarah site, and found these....SO CUTE! I couldn't resit doing a few variations on one of the photos :)

Europe Trip Photography

2007-07-21T20:51:00.000-07:00

I edited (in photoshop) some of the pictures I took of various places in Europe. Eventually, I would like to do a complete scrapbook of photos I've taken & also edited, and print out a few poster/print sizes for my room at home & apartment at college, but for now they're just ending up here as I slowly play around with them....here's the first few finished ones!

Roses Over a Church Door in Cambridge, England
~This is one of my favorite photos. Of course, it was taken in full color. I just went back, greyscaled the image, erased the part I wanted to stay colored, and played up the contrast. I like the final effect a lot.

The Coliseum in Rome
~An amazing place to see in person! With this photo, I really messed with the coloring a lot, and finished it off with a texture that made it looked a little worn and damaged. What I wanted was for it to look a bit like one of those old vacation slides from the 60's or something...haha. Anyway I like it ;P

The Ruins of the Roman Forum
~As a fan of movies like Gladiator and Ben Hur, it was especially cool to see the ruins of ancient Rome. This photo was edited much the same as the Coliseum pic, except I played around with yellow tones and coloring even more.

It was very fun to play around with these pics of my trip, and I'm sure I'll post more soon!

Princess Sarah Wallpaper/Dandelion Wallpaper

2007-07-21T18:58:00.001-07:00

A wallpaper I made for my crazy 1680X1050 pixel laptop screen...isn't Sarah adorable?
The original picture was taken on her 3rd birthday, which unfortunately I couldn't be there for (I was traveling with my college in Europe). Lucky for me, Chrissy & Staci (or Yashi, as Sarah calls her) took tons of pictures for me....this one in particular was just too cute!!! I edited the color & texture in Photoshop...and there you have it :P Anyway, its the desktop on my laptop, and on Staci's I think.....Sarah likes it too.

Another wall made for my laptop...this time of Sarah in a patch of dandelions. I love this pic, isn't it adorable? So cute.

Angel Kisses Graphics was made as a place to post personal graphic art & photoshop peices. The artwork posted is done for the enjoyment of myself, my family, and friends, as well as other members of the international adoption community.
...about the in. adopt. thing...yes, most of the work features my youngest sister, Sarah Evangeline Lu Hua, who was adopted from China in December of 2006. To learn more about her & her story, check out my sister Staci's blog, Journey2Sarah ;) <3

This is not a commercial blog, and I am not seeking to sell anything, nor make a profit in any way.

All graphics were made using Adobe Photoshop 7.

That all said, I would like to thank the many other talented artists and photoshoppers who make projects like this possible!
