A Frustrated Crafter is an Inventive One!

I have grown so frustrated over my attempts to produce clear photos of my "creations". Yesterday's session with the graduation cards finally put the mud on the cake so to speak. I had read on Sharon Johnson's blog one day that she had used a "photo tent". At the time I didn't pay any attention, but after my DH and I discussed yesterday's fiasco, a light bulb went off and we started googling photo tents! WOW!! There's a wealth of information out on the web for building an inexpensive photo box! But this is the website I finally hit on that 1. made sense, and 2. had GOOD instructions! It's www.ehow.com. I know, I know - you've probably been there, done that, but I'm a slow learner! At least we found the site and now I can make my projects look a little more professional! If you want the link to the article I found to make my version of a photo tent, this is the link for the photo tent.

After spending the morning building a small photo tent, we took pictures of a card I had made for a fellow Cardmaker. I am pumped over the results!! I can't show it to you just yet because she hasn't received it. But I promise to showcase it as soon as I can!

Tip of the Day:
Do you have a lot of long ribbon strips that are accumulating in a box somewhere? Well, here's a tip. Use an empty paper towel roll, take doublesided tape, apply all along the length, and start rolling your ribbon scraps! TaDa!!

Thanks for stopping by!
