Basic principles still apply - I would take it outside and photograph it out of direct sunlight - either when it's cloudy or in the shade! Lay it flat on the floor and try and get directly over it so the square shape does not distort. Make sure your camera is set to take pics at best quality (you can always shrink them for uploading later) HEPAS of great info on google on how to take pics of LO's tooPaperVinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789448733425157792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375875732365706338.post-72707045113711258282011-07-21T12:32:03.131-07:002011-07-21T12:32:03.131-07:00Thanks Lowri I will definately retake a photo of t...Thanks Lowri I will definately retake a photo of the layout using that setting, thats another thing I was really unsure of...how to upload pics of your layouts, at first I scanned it BUT my scanner wasnt big enough lol so i took a gazillion photos of layouts but the lighting wasnt the best I think I need to put the photo in good natural light something to work on maybe...Shannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872540980116719941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375875732365706338.post-7886198047950894592011-07-21T05:02:27.495-07:002011-07-21T05:02:27.495-07:00This page looks GREAT - my only comment would be -...This page looks GREAT - my only comment would be - I would love to see it in more detail! <br /><br />Try the "Macro" setting on your camera (looks like a tulip) to get great close up shots..<br /><br />The star banner looks great and I love the green background..

I love my distres...The star bunting looks terrific!<br />I love my distress inks too! I'd like to find out more about painting with them...I've seen some people sued this technique on some projects and it looks great!<br />(don't tell anyone...but I use nailpolish to change the colour of emby's too ;))Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575498281973062521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375875732365706338.post-13179943695531549482011-07-16T16:44:15.638-07:002011-07-16T16:44:15.638-07:00looks fab-u-lous ... cute wee pics and yep, loving...looks fab-u-lous ... cute wee pics and yep, loving the robots.<br /><br />I'm a big fan of distress inks as well. Have a play with your blending tool on some scrap cardstock and a piece of old paper underneath it to protect your surface ... and blend the ink along the edge of your cardstock and come in a wee bit, apply more pressure and more ink to make it darker and lighter, does that make sense? Cut out a tag shape and use it as a journalling spot/tag and ink the edges like that ... fabulous effect. Have fun creating.<br /><br />The string on my layout - I've attached with a wee dab of hot glue using a hot glue gun ... you can always apply double sided tape under some paper, wind a little and when it comes out, apply a tiny glue dot, rolled a little to squidge it, then put the string/twine on top of it that way ... but the hot glue gun does the trick best for me. Have fun.Mrs Frizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349690273918513625noreply@blogger.com
