Not sure where this goes...

[mariekay19]

But I have a question about uploading. I know how to do it, I'm just having a hard time getting good pictures of my card. I'm brand new to stamping and cardmaking and I just finished my first card. I want to put it online, but can't get a good picture. Any techniques or ideas? Also, if this is in the wrong forum please let me know and I'll move it. Thanks.

I'm not an expert by any means but the best one's I've taken are with a window behind me and no flash.... and sometimes not straight on is better.

The two above have already said what I would have suggested. I take mine with a big sunny window behind me, using the macro setting most of the time, no flash. then I often auto correct them in Windows Pictre Manager to get the colors a bit brighter.

Great suggestions!! I can't wait to see if I can make my picture better!!

If you don't have a big window, you could take the pictures outside. I take my pictures at my desk using 2 otts lights. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements to correct and resize my pictures. Having some type of photo software is really helpful in getting your cards to look their best.

Besides using a digi camera, I scan mine in. Thats another way if you have a scanner
