Look what I did!!!

Since one of my side projects has been scanning photos to store on an external hard drive that goes in my safe (basically I lost 5 years of family pictures once so now I back them all up), I have hardly any pictures left on my computer.  This frees up my computer's memory a bit as well.  When I backed them all up, I made sure to sort them into folders for example the year and then from there Spring, Summer, etc.  Some are even broken down with a folder for each kid.  When I need a picture, its easy to find one then.

I picked up my new printer today. I bought an HP Photosmart Wireless D110 series All-in-one that prints, copies and scans.  I can also, send photos from my Android phone wirelessly to the printer, which is really a cool feature.  I can't see that I will use that often since I take the majority of my pictures on my small digital camera, but still, it's nice to have.  This is even better since my old HP portable scanner stopped working a few months ago, I didn't need to replace both.

One of the pieces of software that came with the printer was HP Photo Creations.  Seeing how I really didn't have a lot of photos saved to my PC, I used a picture that was stored there to play with.

The subject is my beautiful niece Carly who, loved her music.  She was our little rock star and sadly she was taken from us last April.

It looks a little faded because dummy (me) forgot to save it, so after I printed it (and it's technically a 4x6 greeting card but printed on regular paper), I scanned it.  The scan quality is really good and I have so many more old photo albums to scan, so I am looking forward to getting some them done soon.

I am not very crafty, but I do enjoy photo editing so with my photo editing software and this program, I can't wait to see what I might come up with.
