I am not a photographer, I really wish I was because I love and appreciate great photos. Today was a battle between the light box, the lights, the camera and the cute little bauble The light box lost the battle and the bauble and all it's shininess won. I went 'old school' and photographed today's card using nothing better than natural daylight.
This week at Waltzingmouse, Renee Lynch, created a fun sketch that can be used for so many occasions. I chose Christmas.

Oh I hear you on fighting with the camera/light box. I think we are our own worst critics...your card is absolutely stunning!
Oh first I have to say this is just gorgeous! Oh , I love everything about this one .. the bow the bobble , the stripes and that gorgeous ornament! I hear you about the photos…ugg, but yours looks great!
Such a fun holiday card! Pretty sad, when we spend more time trying to get a great photo vs the amount of time we spend on making the card!
You made the right call! That bauble is beautiful and the star of the show...love your take on the sketch, so cute with the ornaments. You are rocking the WM lately Tracey...you have a knack for them.
