Maybe, maybe not!
The super cool new camera arrived, so all I need now is an SD card and to work out
A, where the SD card goes
B, how to switch it on
C, how to take photos
D, how to load them onto my laptop
and if you think thats easy, please remember its ME we are talking about, Queen of technology never to be!!
Today though I have another impressive example of how not to photograph a card.
This is one of the cards I made for the JustRite shows I did yesterday
Its an 8x8 card, the background is done using an A4 Mica Mask at the bottom and some lilac patterned paper at the top.
Centre piece is using the same mask to emboss a Lilac Grand blossom circle cut to size and edged with a Grand edgy die (my fave biggy). Next layer is a Label 20 embossed with Basket Weave mask, couple of screw top brads in Silver. Then top layer is one of the Ribbon tags stamped with the Forever Friends JustRite set. Some lovely Violet Vintage ribbon, a zipper rose, a couple of accents and some pearly dots to finish.
All goodies are available from Creative Expressions of course.
Why not come back tomorrow and see if that new camera is in action yet....
Lovely card, hope you work out your new toy! I can't find the charger to our camera at the moment so Im using my phone... not the best! xxx

You're great at crafty things, technology is just a little hurdle that likes to get in the way! I'll swap you some techy help (and a little something that is on the way to you, it should arrive tomorrow if the posty is being nice!) for some urgentish crafty advice.... because that's something I am not so well practiced at!!
ReplyDeleteLove this card. Watched you make this.

Hi Maria, what a lovely card, such beautiful colours and a wonderful layout. May I case this please, it is something my daughter would love?
ReplyDeleteI have a little tip for you to help with your photography:- make yourself a photographers lightbox. Its easy and you only need an (approx) 18x18inch box, white fabric (old tee shirts are great) I have put two tutorial links below for you. Alot of people think their camera lets them down when more often than not its the lighting they use. You can use a cheap point and shoot digital camera with lightbox and get fantastic pics. Hope this helps. I love handmade in many forms can't you tell!! If I can save money, I really will try, after all I have craft goodies to buy!!! lol..
