I was driving through Malibu and saw these gorgeous bougainvillea. I had my camera with me so I pulled over and snapped away! They were a dark color, but I saw in them such potential… soft feminine colors… dreamy retro feel… lightly textured.
Processed with Rebecca Lily preset "Dreamy" and Florabella Texture "Tea Stained" (screen) 10%.

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

Hey there! Ok, totally random question. I have these florabella textures and I have Photoshop CS3...I cannot figure out how to get the textures to my palette! I know...it is really beyond me right now that I can't use these wonderful textures. Would you mind, please please giving me a little walk through? I have read the directions, open picture, open texture (STOP) where are my textures? I think that is where I am getting stumped. I know where they are, but I cannot get them to drop down, when I open the file, there is nothing there. OK, enough of my lameness! Thanks email:dawniele@orbitelcom.com
Beautiful pics!! We were supposed to go to Malibu today (I've been missing it for a year & a half now!) but my husband wasn't off like we planned. Can't wait to go back!
