Fix-It Friday #59 at i heart faces

It's Friday and time for another "fix-it" at iheartfaces! 

Here is the original picture, taken by Julie Rivera:

I seriously could not find much of anything to "fix" with this weeks picture and to top it off, she is just adorable! Here is what I came up with:

As usual, I opened the picture up in Camera Raw of CS5 Photoshop and did a really slight white balance adjustment and then brought it into photoshop. I ran AMPs "clean it up" action over it and "softly" from her "A Little Sugar" set. Then I choose a texture to play with because this picture was really calling out "texture" to me. I did a few different layers of the texture, masking out parts of her as I went along and changing the modes on the different layers. And in the end I brought a layer of just texture to the top, cut out the middle, leaving a frame. Did a drop shadow and a bevel and emboss on the frame. Then merged all the layers except the frame. I duplicated the merged layers layer and brought it to the top and made it into a hidden mask, revealing only parts of the picture (the top of her head, the bottom part of the blanket) to make it look as if she was crawling out of the frame.

A super cute and fun picture to play with!!
