On a roll!

Thanks for your sweet, supportive comments, girls!!! I think I've forgotten how good feedback from your peers feel! Many, many hearts and hugs to you!

Since you are so supportive, and since I managed to get a decent amount of sleep last night and did not have to wake up at 6am like usual (we woke up at the alarm 7:45am instead), and since Ella Bella is napping like a good baby today... (all the stars have lined up)... I have time and energy to create!!! THREE cards. I didn't photograph the other two yet, so I'll just share this one that I captured with my new, less than one hour old Canon G11 camera! Got tired of the big, bulky dslr cameras (which I'll still keep). I needed a second smaller camera for outings and since I can't find my battery charger for my smaller point and shoot - decided to get a new one that is sort of the best of both worlds in terms of picture quality and size. It is a middler between a compact point and shoot camera and the big old dslr camera - without the even bulkier interchangeable lens. I only shoot in manual mode and I'm thrilled that I can still shoot manually with the G11 without fumbling through an extensive digital screen. Wait, is this a camera review I'm doing or I should get to my card?! .......


What do you think of the picture quality compared to my other photos (all were shot with the Nikon D80). Pretty comparable, right? In the creating process, the part I detested the most was taking the photo... it meant lugging out the big, bulky camera, playing around with the settings a bit, then uploading. This virtually eliminates one step without sacrificing much on quality.

Oh, if you ever have any questions about products used, just email me. I don't really like listing everything. Sooo, if you have any questions, just shoot, and I usually respond pretty quickly. :)

  12. Love this, Kryssi!! The photo looks great! I love the doily pattern paper you used on your card! It's lovely! It first captured my attention when you used it as a background for yesterday's card. It's the same paper right?
