Hello, photo tent :)

Hey!

I hope the last few days have been as fun and fabulous for you as they have for us here! We've had a lovely Christmas and Boxing Day (yes, Diva - we have Boxing Day here too!) spent with our families along with some scrummy food, drink and giggles along the way :)

It's business as usual now on the blogeroo though, so without further ado, a card:

Hello

Can you tell that I've been a good girl this year? Santa My gorgeous guy presented me with a photo tent complete with daylight lamps on Christmas Day (along with some other beautiful gifts - I felt spoilt rotten!) This piccy was actually taken at night time, so no more having to grumble about running out of daylight hours - score! I've still got a bit of tweaking and practice to go with it, but I'm really happy with this first result :) Any tips you have about using these babies would be much appreciated!

This card for the Runway Inspired Challenge #2; it's inspired by this piccy:


I was totally smitten with those shoes and the gorgeous green bag (no surprises there!) so that dictated my colour scheme and polka dot stamping. The line across the bottom of my card is inspired by the runway, and the use of modern basics for my stamping is inspired by the cool pattern on the dress. Phew! That's a lot of inspiration from one pic!

Right then, I'd better dash as project-tidy-up needs to commence here in Sheffield...

Catch ya later!

oh, score on the photo tent!!! Woohoo!! And your first card with it is stunning...way to break it in! I just find it so freeing to be ablel to take pics on any kind of day at any time :) Tell Chris I'm very impressed!! Love reading about your inspiration...you really studied that photo and picked out the most lovely details :) I thought you had Boxing Day too, in fact, being your younger cousin, I should have mentioned we probably got the holiday idea from you. Now we just need to give you Thanksgiving Day so you can have another long weekend :) The turkey bun sounds yummy...that's what we've been eating for lunch this week too...might whip up a turkey curry dish too this week :) Hugs, Duchess!!
