A Place to Play with Photos and Textures

Is Kim Klassen's Cafe. Her website offers a blog, free textures, tutorials, classes, and much more. I've only explored a little bit of it, but her photos and textures are lovely. I've been playing more and more with my own photos these days, and finding new places for learning to alter and enhance them. There's a button on the right sidebar if you'd like to visit.

This week, my first venture,the theme/instruction is to use a specific new texture she created, called Phoebe with a photo. It's ok to add other layers and use other Photoshop tools. I used Phoebe and textures from Playingwithbrushes and Pareeerica at Textures for Layers Flickr group. If you don't know this wonderful place for free textures and backgrounds, you should check it out.
I also used an eraser tool and the burn tool.
