Cranberry Hootycreeks

This was the 1st "Cookie in a Jar" I've ever made! I was super excited to try it when Kristina gave it to me for Christmas and I finally made them tonight. All I needed to add was a stick of butter, 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla then bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. ManOhMan are these tasty! Even Steve the Stegosaurus thought so.

Since I've been taking most of my photos with my camera phone, I've been playing around with some of the different camera apps I've downloaded. "Paper Camera" is my latest obsession. It has 12 different "lenses" to choose from. The one I used below is "contours".
Silly but fun. In that last image, you might even be able to see that Steve the Stegosaurus has eaten enough cookies and is on his way home for a little nap.

SD13: another card and more phone apps

Catching up on some unfinished projects today.
Made this card using some scraps from one of my unfinished projects. Created the flower by using the technique from this video.

Also wanted to share some of the sample photos from the camera apps I downloaded for my cell phone.
These are from Retro Camera.


These are from Camera360.


And these are from fxcamera.

These are for the android phones. If you have an iPhone, I understand the Hipstamatic app has similar features.

Summer Daily 10: Phone Apps

For a youngish (maybe not so much...but pretend) couple living in the Silicon Valley, we've been slow to adopt a smartphone. But after much research, we finally decided on the HTC Incredible android phone. We've had it a week now and I can't tell you how freaking excited I am about my new phone. How did I live without it? LOL, I'm exaggerating, but it truly is a nice thing to have. Not only is it crazily amazing to be able to look anything up just about anywhere, there are some super cool apps to download. Many of them free! Of course, camera apps are high on my priority. I found some cool free ones called: retro camera, fx camera and camera 360. I'm still experimenting. Not sure which one is better or what the differences of each are. We'll see.

I wondered if the camera in my new phone could replace my compact camera all together. Unfortunately, I don't think it can. It sucks up the battery and there isn't any zoom. So I'll still carry around the compact, but try some funky creative shots with the apps in my phone camera.

Took this shot with the Retro Camera app on Polaroid setting.
