Missing You recipe card freebie
Hi there, Jen here. Did you have a chance to grab some of the recipe cards posted recently? Better yet, did you have a chance to try any of the recipes. I hope so! If not though, I’ve got another one for you to snag today and maybe you’ll get a chance to give this one a go. My mom used to make this for us when we were kids. It’s not the “official” recipe I’m sure, but it’s the way I make it and it turns out pretty good. Plus, you can whip it together in a jiffy! I don’t know about you, but that’s a big plus for me these days.
For this recipe card, I used the kit Missing You, a collab between Designs by Laura Burger and Amy Teets. It’s bold and bright (but not neon bright) and perfect for many types of fun and interesting layouts. You can find Missing You in Laura’s shop at PBP. Just click on the previews below to be directed to the shop and for the recipe card download. Note also, there’s a bundle for this kit too. Enjoy!

Tutorial from Ravelle for Photoshop
Hi Ravelle here from Laura’s Creative Team. As I gaze out the window at my snow covered backyard I am longing for Spring and my garden to start blooming. I thought I would share a trick with you that helps make those outdoor pictures really pop. It’s an easy, peasy tut. I am using PSCS5 but this should work in any version of PS, unfortunately not Elements. First open your photo. I always make a duplicate of my photo and then hide the original. This way you won’t accidentally mess up your original. Here is the photo I am starting with:
Looks OK, but kind of dull. So let’s put a little pop into it!
First go to Image>Mode and select Lab Color. Instead of using RBG which controls Red, Blue and green, Lab color uses green, magenta, blue and yellow. So it’s great for landscapes not so great for people. Now Go to Image>Adjustments>Curves and in the Channel Box select “a” which controls magenta and green. Then go to the bottom left corner and slide the line to the right about half way in the first box. Then slide the upper right corner point to the left about half way. You can already see a change.
Now don’t say OK yet! Instead change the channel to “b” which affects yellow and blue and do the same thing. Move the bottom left corner point about half way over in the first box and the take the upper right corner point and move it over half way to the left. Should look like this:
Not done yet! Now change the channel to lightness and adjust the curve up or down using the center point or you can move the sliders right or left until you like the result. I just moved the center point up a bit to lighten the photo. Here is mine:
Hit OK then go back into Image>Mode and change the mode back to RGB color. And Voila! You have a much more vibrant picture. Let’s take a look at the before and after.
Before
After
Just look at how those yellows pop out. Feel free to play and see what you can do with your photos!
And here’s a sneak peak of Laura’s new kit coming to a store soon!

Well writing this Sunday and really hoping that once Monday comes I can say I am willing as well I am right now. I have further to go to be well, but at least I am not as dizzy as I was!
Okay now on to the good stuff – enough about me my darn sickness!
