Buttons, Brads and a Bow

This week at Anyone for Anya, Dawny and Co have set us the challenge to use buttons, brads and bows:



I used a favourite colour combo of mine and for once didn't work off a sketch or any other challenge. The gorgeous patterned paper is sugar coated by Doodlebug, as are the brads. The ribbons are all from stash and the buttons are Doodlebug and My Minds Eye.



These photos are soooo dull, I have got to sort out my Autumn / Winter photography - these pics look grubby to me! Any tips from you budding and expert photographers would be very welcome, I have a Canon IXUS 90IS and a portable photo studio cube thing. I have Adobe Photo Shop 5 LE but I'm a complete novice with it!! Probably need to know more about indoor lighting when natural daylight just doesn't do the job.

  17. What do you think about those photo cube thingies? Is it worth getting one?
    I just take pics with my mobile phone, so it might seem a bit like operation overkill to have a fancy box whatsit. But I do find that trying to find a light enough spot to take a picture is often quite difficult.
    Your picture looks fine to me, but I can't see the original to compare!
