Steppin’ Out Saturday:

This weeks guest judge: 
Ashley Sisk!
This weeks challenge: A different view.
The challenge: The challenge will be based around your children. Take or find a photo of your baby (or kid… or puppy… or kitty) from a different view. Do you take photos from above looking down? Or, do you get down on the floor to the same level of your baby/pet? Do something different. Try it.

……………………..

Here are a couple links to some free photo editing software if you don’t already have something:
Picnik 
Picasa
Gimp
Pixlr

……………………..
Remember: my photo challenges do require you to have either your children or one of your furry children (pets) in the photo. It could be just one finger… or a toe… but, they must be there.
There always has to be rules… I know, boring right? But, it’s to help me and you. 🙂 Click on the link for more details… Each entry does need to link back to my blog… All photo entries need to be in by 11:59 PM Pacific Time on January 20th…

This weeks guest judge: ME!
This weeks challenge: Resolutions.
The challenge: The challenge will be based around your children. Take or find a photo of your baby (or kid… or puppy… or kitty) for this shot. It’s the new year! Is there anything your baby/puppy want to work on or improve for the new year? Potty training? Cartwheels?

First: Being What I Want to Be
Why I chose this photo: “I LOVE the lines of the photo. The little baby isn’t the focus of the shot… but, she’s there… interacting with the railing. Love it. I also love her resolution: Have patience with her baby, Ella, as she learning and growing. I should follow this too.”
