I ♥ Faces-Week 16- "Reflection"


~ Children's Entry ~

Title: "A Worthy Harvest"

It's week 16 over at iheartfaces and the challenge this week was to compose a picture using some type of reflection like a mirror.

This morning I woke up with this idea in my head. Behind our home, they are harvesting the grass for hay. I wanted to capture the hay bales in the background, because they represent a harvest, but metaphorically speaking I wanted to emphasize my boys as the future harvest.



Adult Entry


Every mom knows that a mother's day is never done. And, nobody ever said that raising children was easy. Being a mother is a lot of work, but the rewards are plentiful and abundant. I love being a mom and reaping the joy that my children give me!

Tiffany Williams said...

Thanks for your comment on my photo! You asked about digicrapping software. I use Photoshop and always have since I started scrapping 3 years ago. I like it a lot! Although I have nothing to compare it to. It takes a little while to learn, there are still things I don't know about it, but there is definitely a lot you can do in photoshop. I currently have PSCS3.
