[April Showers]

Join me, Apri Showers, each Wednesday at 9 am Pacific, 10 am Mountain, 11 am Central and Noon Eastern Time for the High Noon Crop. These crops are designed to allow you to work on your own photos and themes simply giving participants a one hour goal and a fun, new challenge each week.

On January 30th we'll do a Photo Manipulation Challenge! Create a layout using a photo you have manipulated in some way - change it to black and white or sepia, remove a distraction, cut out the subject - anything goes!

Create your layout and upload it to the special High Noon Crop and Challenge Gallery. You'll be amazed what you can get done in just one hour, but there is no High Noon Sheriff timing you! Hope to see you in the chat room!

I adored your "Our Little Elephant" layout, April - so cute! Thanks for the challenge and maybe for once I can make it to the high noon crop - depending on what baby is doing at that time!

I'll be out for the day and will probably miss the chat.
However, I had a lot of fun manipulating my photo. Gondolier

I won't make this either with kids back at school... 3.30-4.30 am makes it really hard to get up at 7!!! Shame cos I love this chat :-(
I have been playing with an online tutorial I found to add bokeh to photos... and think I have FINALLY mastered it! (That was on my list of things to learn over the holidays!). Here is mine :-) tfl!

Fabulous layouts ladies!

I need to take Thomas to school right before the chats starts. I should be back in time for the start of the chat, but if I'm a few minutes late, don't worry.
