Hey Cupcake!

I'm such a picture snob. I'm so picky, which is ironic, since I have no photography training at all! :) I think that this picture is pretty crappy, but you get the drift. I got tired of fiddling with it! If any of you all know of a CHEAP photo set-up box, send me a link! Help a sistah out! LOL

I used some new goodies on this card - my cutie new Bella, new Basic Gray Cupcake paper, and my new Doodlebug ribbon! Love new stuff!!! The sentiment is from A Muse, and the circle stamp is from PTI. I loved how it fit perfectly in the metal edged tag! The main image is, as almost always, colored with Copic markers. It's a 5 1/4 in. sq. card.

Well, that's about it! Have a wonderful Hump Day, and stay tuned for some coolio news that I'll hopefully be able to share soon!

xox,

  3. This is awesome Kirsten...so colourful. I think your photo is fine, but I know what ya mean!! I can only take pics on nice sunny days to get the natural lighting. If I do it under a lamp, it's too bright or too dark. Ugh. I need one of those lighting boxes too.

  4. Adorable card! I love the colors you used.

    About the light box, they are super easy to make- google it and you will get millions of hits.

    It is also easy to just cover the inside of a shoebox with white cardstock... or black or grey if your prefer.
