Photography Tips 101

So my awesome friend Pam, who did all of my branding photography, did me a solid last night and came and spoke at my Glitter Girls Team meeting! She created an amazing power point to help us all create better flat lays to showcase our creative work. She walked us through the process from choosing the right background, what lighting to use, and how to showcase our cards using the rule of thirds, triangles, left to right placement and more. It was absolutely fascinating! Below are my attempts to employ some of the tips she shared. Which one is your favourite? I am curious which was catches your eye! Please comment below and share any feedback!

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Okay, I will admit when my group made these cards today they would NOT let me play holiday music! What do you think? Should one be listening to Christmas songs in August while make Christmas cards? I think so.

Nevertheless, they did enjoy making these cards which feature a bunch of new upcoming products in the holiday catalogue. Customers can begin ordering on September 4th—however, demonstrators are already able to order. Amazeballs. Have I mentioned there is a sign up promotion on right now? Just in case you missed it on my social channels, you can get $205 CAN in product OF YOUR CHOICE including items from the Holiday Catty for $135 flat rate when you join my team this month!

These cards were also a part of my new Holiday Card Group that began today. This group is full, however I would LOVE to get another one going meeting on a Monday or Wednesday evening for 5 months! Short and sweet! Joining a group is the best ‘try before you buy’ method I can recommend! Each month we will make fabulous Holiday cards featuring loads of new products, you place a minimum $45 order and each group member (only 5 of you!) gets a chance to be the hostess and earn rewards. Trust me, it’s rewarding! If you would like more details, leave a comment or shoot me a message via email or text. I would love to be your creativity coach!

Calendar is Updated!

Hi ladies! I have updated my calendar to include all of my team meetings, groups, classes and events for August! I am super excited about the Autumn Card Premier class on the 24th! I LOVE creating with fall stamps and papers and look forward to sharing it all with you in the ultimate sneak peek class!

Classic Summer Fun!

Celebrating summer and my hubby in this layout! We really have been having the best summer together which began with a super fun, heartfelt and touching wedding of our friends The Wood’s! After that we started our adventure on the #besttripever so you will no doubt be seeing alot of those photos on upcoming scrapbook pages! On this page layout I wanted to combine both of the alphabet framelits that Stampin’ Up! is selling. I used soft fun colors and created the bubbly light feel of summer with light background stamping and embossed flowers that seemed to float on the page. I added some washi tape as well as I didn’t have the right yellow DSP I was looking for.

“Grow Old with Me the Best is Yet to be...”

Did you miss me?

Hey! It been a while, I haven’t made a post in 10 days! I hope you can forgive me! I had a bunch of scheduled posts to go live while I was on the Greek Incentive trip which I was feeling awesome about, then I got home from the #besttripever and well my real life got in the way! Haha! But I am back to stamping and baking! I will be posting a couple new recipes over on the Lifestyle tab as well as our Flytographer photo shoot! So watch for those coming up! But since you are HERE you probably want to see some crafting stuff right? How about a new product sneak peek? I used a fun and easy technique to color the pumpkins called CrossHatch Coloring using the watercolor pencil crayons. Give it a try!

Can you spot what is new? I used the new stamp set Harvest Hellos, with Cajun Craze twine and a fun new framelit from the Most Wonderful Time of Year product medley! These new products are available to demonstrators on Aug 1st! Join my team to get in on this awesome opportunity!
