I love Lisa Spangler! Not only is she an AMAZING cardmaker, but she is generous enough to be running photography tutorials on her blog, showing us how to make photos crisper, lighter and better. Last night I edited MANY photos following her adice, and I am thrilled with the results.
So I thought I'd enter her current challenge:
So I took photos of these mini cards I made, then edited it according to her advice.
Before:

After:
I don't actually have a photo editing programme other than iPhoto - but just playing around with the sharpness settings made a big difference.
Supplies: Stamps - Hero Arts (sentiments: here and here, animals); Kraft ATCs; white cardstock; coloured pencils; machine stitching.
I am so so happy! My photos actually look better.
THANK YOU so much Lisa.

WOW!!
Cool!!!
That really did make a difference...
In case you're interested, Lucy, you can get Paint.net for free online (they do offer you the option to donate, but free is good!)
I use it all the time and adjust just 2 things usually - brightness/contrast and sharpness and it makes a HUGE difference.
It's super easy to use too.
Here's the link if you want to check it out :)

Where did you get that textured kraft paper? I LOVE it!!
Lucy, where do you get your kraft cards from and kraft paper - is this textured? Saw on one of your cards that the outside was kraft and inside white - was that purchased like that or layered? Thanks Deirdre
