The Emerson quote was posted on Gretchen Rubin's blog, The Happiness Project. I was feeling a little lost, and creatively stuck, and it caught my attention. "Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt, crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." - Ralph Waldo Emerson Photographed the heron at Beaver Marsh in the Cuyahoga Valley. To get the pen and water color look, I used the poster edges filter in PhotoShop Elements 9, then brightened up the color a bit. The text brush was downloaded from the web and the border brush is from Sande Krieger of 2 Peas in a Bucket. She's a really talented digital designer, love her stuff!! A couple of faint drop shadows, and there you go! The font is Calibri, my new favorite sans serif. The sun's shining, and I'm having dinner with Chuck tonight - should be a nice day! Hope yours is, too.
