When I think of all the times I've chased my cards around the garden in the wind and sometimes rain (how sad am I) attempting to seek the perfect picture to post on my blog...all this time lurking in an internet shop was a daylight lamp that would make my life a whole lot easier! Why oh why did it take me so long to make the discovery of just how brilliant these lamps are? Probably because I'm blonde and probably coz I can be a bit of a numpty sometimes!
This is the first card I have photographed using my new lamp and I have to say I'm really pleased with the end result...I didn't have to manipulate the picture too much in Photo Editor either...just a tiny tweek with the contrast to get better clarity and bingo a fairly decent piccy that for once I am happy with!
This is a just because card...just because my craft stuff has been packed away all week whilst we decorated our bedroom...just because I had a quiet hour to myself last night and just because I wanted to try out my NEW LAMP!!!

What a fun image - I love her pleased expression! Pretty colours, too, and that bow is gorgeous!!
I had to giggle at your description of chasing a card round the garden, that's happened to me quite a lot this year! I shall have to add a Daylight Lamp to my Christmas list!
Have a good weekend -
luv, Mags x

Super card Donna....love the cute image and fabulous layout too sweetie...

Hi my sweetie oh I've so missed your gorgeous creations & this doesnt dissapoint hun its fabulous I love the colours & the image is awesome I do love Gillian.
The lamps are brill arnt they, another trick is if you want 1 either side is just buy a dalight bulb & use it on a normal lamp but if it has a shade remove the shade......voila another cheap daylight lamp lol.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
