I need help.

I need help.  I've hit a scrapbooking block over the past few weeks and I've finally realised what is doing it.  Photos. 

I love to scrapbook edited photos.  I love the high contrast, saturated look.  Think Kelly Goree.  Think Jill Geraghty-Groves.  Think Steph Devlin

I see some of you throwing your hands in the air and saying to me 'that's not what it's about!" and yes.  I know.  Scrapbooking in it's true essence is all about capturing the story.  The memories.  Yes. I know.  Believe me, you are preaching to the choir here.  I know.

BUT I scrapbook a lot.  All day everyday.  So I go through a lot of photos.  And I enjoy using those fabulously edited photos.  I would soo love to use some of those gorgeous snapshot type black and white pics like steph or Suz Doyle uses.  It's just the way I am.  Just the same as I prefer Braeburn apples to Gala.  They are both providing the same end result, both nutritious and fill my tummy, but I just *prefer* Braeburn.

Now I figure I'd get so much more work done if I had the photos there waiting. I'd earn more at what I'm doing if I had the pics.
And I'm sure there are some of you out there with wicked-amazing photo editing skills that could take my photos and do that.  Perhaps some of you that are looking for a little extra pocket money.

I have 2 years worth of photos sitting on my hard-drive unedited.  Clearly I don't expect that they'd all be done – that's just crazy talk – but the point is, I have photos there waiting.

Do you see where I'm going with this?  Anyone keen? 

Email me.

laters.

    Sorry I don’t have time to help, my wee one seems to take up all my time. But if you want to do the odd photo, you could download Picasa by Google, it is free. At the touch of a button you can have black and white, or sepia etc. You can even create a picture collage with several photos, which can look quite cool.

    did you ever try Lightroom??
    I tried photoshop for a long long time .. adn I guess I am simply to blonde for it.. I don’t “get” it..
    Lightroom in combinations with presets.. is .. soooo YUMMY!
    so easy..
    just load them in.. roll your mouse over the photo’s.. and you get an instant preview of what it will be.. if you like it .. you click.. and that’s it.. just one click..
    -_-
    soooo LOVE that.. it’s the best thing ever…
    the only thing that could stop you now is time…cuz if you don’t have TIME to edit your photo’s..well.. hmmm then I don’t know
    good luck!!
