I plan on doing a lot more video tutorials for Photoshop and Illustrator. But since it was my first, and I just discovered how to record my screen about 10 minutes ago, we will keep it simple for the first one. Making a clipping mask, which masks an image or pattern into a shape or text, is very easy and quick with this keyboard shortcut. Leave a comment below and let me know what you make!

This girls night was a combination of all my favorite things: painting, my sister-in-laws and delicious snacks. My sister-in-law's (Sarah, Kate, Katie and Becca) asked me if I would be interested in getting together to teach them some watercolor painting recently and of course it sounded fantastic.

We recently purchased a membership to The Children's Museum of Cleveland and it has quickly become our favorite spot. It can be exhausting for me, since Violet is mobile now and I am chasing her around the museum, but the girls have more fun and burn more energy there than any other outing so it is 100% worth it. The parking is free for members, which is great compared to most of the other museums in Cleveland, where you are looking at $5-10 parking every visit.
