Graveyard2
The photo above, I added the Happy Halloween and RIP on the tombstone.  I also added the bubble which I found under the Free Pen tool, and then added the MEOW.  Before I did this I adjusted the levels, and did a little cloning since I notice my blurred hand was in the top left of the photo so I cloned the leaves to cover it up, and I also cloned the leaves near the cat to hide some the grass I grabbed from the original photo.  The Happy Halloween I then used one of the boxes at the top of the Text Tool bar to make it wavy.

The photo below I did auto levels and then add the text - From our neck of the woods to yours - and Happy Holidays, using red and green respectively.  This text as well as the text above I added using the Text Tool, and selected various fonts.  I took several photos of the kids from the snow storm we had just before Halloween, and I haven't looked at them all yet, but one of them will end up being our holiday cards for this year. 
I noticed that after I posted this, the photos get cut off.  They are on Flickr since I had to load these photos this way to the blog, but my clone photos went up through the blog. Makes no sense.

Great job Lisa! I like your family photo with the 'neck of the woods' on it. The colors are vibrant and contrast well done, same on the others. The wedding shot must have been difficult in correcting the lighting due to the window - how did you do on the white balance due to the back lighting, wedding dress, etc. ? I still like your cat in the graveyard pic! Maybe next year you could use that for halloween cards, etc.

These are great! The Halloween one is just amazing. The shot of your kids perfect! I wonder why the blog is cutting them off instead of resizing them to fit?
