You Capture – Shapes
ByHi friends. I have to say, I think I could possibly go with shapes as our theme every single week, wouldn’t that be fun? No? Not so much? A little boring, you say?
Either way, I had a really, REALLY fun time with this one mainly because I was at my friend Lovelyn’s house and her house is AMAZING and I could take pictures of her house all day long and guess what? I did.
The coolest thing is that Lovelyn is like a million times more amazing than her house which says a lot because her house is AMAZING. (I can’t seem to stress that enough.) And being the psychotic freak that I am, I walked around her house and took pictures for like three hours.
I’m good company. Do not ever invite me to your home.
I had to sort through all of the lovelies I took and narrowed it down to six. So, let’s get started.
First, I bought this bracelet back in April, it has four butterflies and four hearts on it and I adore it, so much. It’s very much a part of me now. I love that’s it’s in the shape of a circle yet is made up of two different shapes and it’s on Lovelyn’s orange couch.
I currently really, really like orange. Don’t you just love the texture of her couch against the bracelet? I do.
I love it when I really like my own photos. I really like these. Probably because I really like my bracelet. And orange.
This is her entry way. SO MANY RECTANGLES.
Lovelyn has four (adorable, well-behaved) daughters. This pile of tin boxes was in her daughter’s room. Perfectly situated.
I love that this photo is filled with circles and cylinders.
Here is Lovelyn’s backsplash in her kitchen. Magnificent, no?
I have many more photos that I intend to share with all of you. I’m sure if you are half as nosey as I am, you’ll be back to see what else is inside her home. Am I right or am I right?
So now, IT’S YOUR TURN, BABY, but first, some of you are signing Mr. Linky which is beautiful and awesome but you’re not linking back to You Capture which is NOT beautiful and awesome. So, if you are new here…just a quick run through of the directions (below) would be very much appreciated, k? I will be deleting links for those that aren’t complying this week which is annoying because deleting links is annoying.
1. You can join in on this challenge at any time! We welcome & love new participants.
2. Please make sure you are linking directly to your specific You Capture post in Mr. Linky (and not just your site, for instructions, go here) and please make sure you are linking back to this challenge in your post. If you don’t abide by this, your link will be removed. (I know, I’m so mean.)
3. Try your hardest not to reuse a picture from your archives, the goal of You Capture is to get you moving with your camera, get creative! Challenge yourself!
4. Do your best to visit the other participants’ site – everyone loves the traffic, the comments and the feedback (not just you!)
5. And finally, post as many pictures as you want on your post.
Next week’s challenge will be about editing – BLACK AND WHITE! (to be posted on July 23rd.)
Whether you use, Photoshop, Picasa or Picnik, have fun with processing. It’s my favorite part! (Happy capturing AND processing!)
I did just find out about a new photo editing software that is being offered for FREE. I have never used it before, but thought you guys may find it useful, especially since it’s FREE. Anyone can download Aurora to own it forever – for free – between 9:15 am EST on 7/15 and 9:15 am EST on 7/16. Just visit www.lightcrafts.com/aurora, select “buy now,” and enter FREE24 at checkout.
If you try it out, let me know what you think!
Now’s it’s your turn to share!
LOVE that orange too. Also love that I am your first comment. Go Me! Gotta go get a post done now…
I LOVE that backsplash!! And I think I really need a bracelet like that.

Love the entryway.. Beautiful home!
That entryway is FANTASTIC! I love it!!! GREAT captures!!!
Wow! Leave it to you to turn what could be an ordinary subject into an amazing variety of color, style, and objects. I really like all your pics but the bracelet pictures I love, not just because of the subject but because of the colors and staging. Very nice!
Beth, I love the front door picture! The rectangles, the light, the stuff laying on the rug in front of the door. Love it! I’m going to try the new editing software. I’ll let you know how it works for me. Thanks for the heads up. I love FREE!
Looks like she has a wonderfully creative house … always a great place to take pictures! Love these!
Wow, I love those shapes! I’m going to try and capture some shapes so I can join in today. If not, I’ll definitely join next week!
Thanks for the tip on the free software. I already have three photo software but maybe I’ll like that even more, who knows! haha
I love her house! That backsplash is amazing. Oh, and don’t worry, if you came to my house, you’d take pictures of how not to decorate a house. Especially because my child would use a pile of tin boxes as a ladder to destroy things!
The shapes are all lovely, especially the circles and cylinders.
I love your shapes, and your colors are just AMAZING!! This was fun, though more difficult than others. I guess that’s why you call it a challenge, huh?
I really love your bracelet. Is it from Etsy? Can you link to the seller?
I’m not sure about this shape challenge EVERY week-a bit difficult for me to think outside the box!
But you did a great job! I love that backsplash! And an orange couch would just make me happy every time I sat on it, don’t you think?
Those are LOVELY!
(To everyone else on the list, I’d love to view you this week but I’m shutting down the computer.)
These are awesome. I love it when simple things become beautiful photography when the camera is in the right hands.
That’s such an awesome backsplash!
And B&W???
I love you.
I had no doubt these photos would turn out awesome. Love’s house is so inspiring. But your view is, just as much.

Great shots – love the bright colors!!!
man I am a dork.
i thought it was friends and family again this week, not shapes…hmmm, well, wonder if there is something in the million I took that could still fit the bill.
love your pictures.
next week, black and white. got it.
It definetley looks like a house that I would love to be nosey in. Very cool. I love the backsplash and those tins are awesome. Good job on the shapes!
Beautiful! I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos, I’m so nosy and love seeing other peoples houses!
I didn’t get a chance to edit my photos this week, which makes me sad, but can’t wait to see other peoples lovely photos!
Wow what a fun home. I want to see that couch in perspective to the room!
Beautiful shape pictures – I really need to think about some interior decorating!
ALSO, I had to come back here just to say that if I don’t have a black and white picture of a baby for next week’s challenge, my submission will probably be me punching everything in sight.
What wonderful captures! I love that orange couch and the bracelet on the orange…LOVE IT!
Thanks for hosting, glad I finally got to play along. See you next week!
Lovin’ the orange, the butterflies, AND the backsplash! So much color!!! Nice!
I really like all of your pictures- but the entryway is something really special. The shoes on the mat and the little tree on the table make it so real.
fantastic!
Love your new blog design!!! It is fabulous!!!
I really liked your choice of “shapes.” But, I must say, your post gave me a strong sense of deja vu!
I haven’t had deja vu in a long time!
Have a great weekend.

Your bracelet it beautiful! I’m also quite a fan of the backsplash!
okay, this was really fun to see and read! your perspective is beautiful. and your words about me? i’d buy you a lifetime bugbites supply if i could.
Ok, I don’t comment all that often, but I must say….. that bracelet on the orange couch is amazingly beautiful!! I love orange (had no idea you like it right now, but I always love orange) vibrant and full of life orange, with that beautiful bracelet on it! Yep, where can I vote on this one!!!
Your pictures are always so awesome!! Cool shots to show shapes!
Great shots! I have been liking orange lately too.
Love this idea!! Thanks!!
This post is Amazing! WoW.. I will be a forever reader from now on. Beautiful :O)
I can relate on so many levels.
