MCP Project 12: Love or Leap

I am participating in MCP Project 12 this year!  Each month there will be an assigned theme to ponder and capture "on film".  If you would like to participate, you can visit the website here: MCP Project 12.

This month's theme is Love or Leap.

I waited until the very last week to post for February's theme...on purpose!  I have a girl who LOVES to LEAP!  She is a hurdler and the first track meet of the year was this past Saturday.  She did awesome!  She qualified for the regional meet as a varsity on her first try...and she is only a sophomore!  I love that she loves running and being active!  Here are a few of her leaping. =)

Individual Sports Cards

This is something I learned how to do recently.  I found a tutorial online that was recommended by Scott Kelby...he is awesome by the way...and I really like the effect!

In this first one, I downloaded a free texture background from the internet.  I ended up not liking the download, because it was not a great resolution...so for the second and third ones, I did a photoshoot at Home Depot to get some better quality textures!  I spent 45 minutes in the store taking pictures of flooring, counter top, tile, and other building supplies.

  The textures on the girls's cards is from Home Depot!
