ROCK STAR

Hi Everyone

Well I hope your weather has bit a bit nicer where you are than has been here with me today .. .. .. especially if you have children on half term holidays.

Nothing worse than weather which means you don't even want to leave the house .. .. kids just don't like being cooped up in the house do they?  Unless they are a teenager of course and then chances are they don't even want to leave their bedroom LOL!!

Just a quick and simple share today .. .. but one I like.







This used:

Backing Paper:  DCWV "Rock Star"
Image:  Inkadinkado "98693" Rock Star
Sentiment:  Created using Funky Hand "Craft the Year Away"
Sizzix Die:  Stars #2
Diamond Stickles
Cord from the Stash Box

and that is it .. ... hope you likey, likey.

I was asked by Katina and Annmaree what I use to take my photographs.

Well the secret isn't in my photography skills thats for sure .. .. but I do use a photo booth that I bought a while back from Maplins.  It is portable and has two little lights with it.  It all collapses flat and has pockets for the lights etc.. .. not that mine is flat very often.  It is usually set up on my ironing board in the spare bedroom LOL!!!

It looks like this:


It looks huge here as if you could park a car in it but it isn't really .. .. ..  and I don't use the camera stand .. .. just the lights and the photo box .. .. and I put white card on the base and at the back of the box.

I have had mine a while now.  It was on special offer when I got it - but I do find it really good and I could take photographs at midnight if I was still awake LOL!!!

My camera is a Sony Cyber-shot.

Hope this helps.

Love

  18. Hi Jules, sorry I've not been to visit recently. Time is really running away from me at the moment and I've just had my daugher and her little family to stay since Saturday so had no chance to blog hop or anything but cook and entertain my granddaughter really.

    Love this card, it's perfect for a teenage boy. Love the splashes of teal on the black and white. Aaargh, that's another set of stamps I've had for ages and not yet used!

    Hugs

  21. I've seen smething like your photo booth before when a friend of mine came to take some photos of some baby budgies I had. Good jib they were well behaved ass he expected them to sit lined up on the branches he set up inside. They did - bless them.
    Great card for a grandson - always a difficult type to make for but I'm sure this one will go down very well.

  25. Your cards always look fab jules, I have the same thing as you, not great for me, the lights are top heavy and I've broke 2 expensive bulbs, some pics ok but most not, I think my new camera is rubbish for card pics. You will laugh at this but I'm now using the bathroom to take pics, it's light with 2 big windows, and yes I have photographed cards on the loo seat..bad or what!
    Love your cool card, great for the boys.
    sorry about the long comment.
