Spring Tutorials for Home & Design

Tutorial Tuesday! This week the focus is, of course, spring. My interests are wide, as are the tutorials I reference. From design to crafting, gardening to jewelry, kids projects, etc. Here are some of my spring favorites:

How To Make Sidewalk Chalk

by: ArtMind

This is an older one but very fitting since my kids have recently came across the game of foursquare (which was a daily sport for me at their age) and we are getting tired of taping off squares on the living room floor and also are in need of a larger court. The snow is almost gone in our neighborhood and the bikes are littering the yards and chalk is decorating the streets.

How To Make a Vintage/Retro Picture

This is one I just love. It is always fun to download actions and apply them to your photos, but sometimes I don't realize how to get certain effects. This is a quick, easy way to get a vintage look and be able to make adjustments to fit your photo perfectly.
