Shower you...and a conclusion.

Hey y'all! Happy Saturday! :)

I'm swinging on in today to share a card I made and a conclusion.

*Feel free to scroll down, if you don't want to read my conclusion.*

Okay. So, this is the conclusion I have come to. Remember when I asked for help and your thoughts about my last photo?...I received a number of personal opinions and I absolutely, enjoyed hearing them! One thing I did notice, is everyone truly sees things differently. Some agreed with others on certain things, some didn't. Some thought my photo was great, others thought okay, etc. All in all, different. Each and every thought, different.

So, I personally have come to this. Not only does everyone see things differently. But I also truly believe it has to do with computers, as well. There are wide range of computers/laptops and some may look similar or even be the exact same thing. But photos (and things) will still be shown different on each and every single one. Why, I think this?...Have you seen all the settings there are?...You can change the brightness, that there will certainly change how something looks to someone. Not all have their brightness the same. How about the contrast?...How about if your computer if full or partial HD or perhaps, not at all?...How about the screen resolution?...Seriously, with so many little factors and settings, nothing could possibly be the same. So, while this is all just my thoughts, I'm going to continue taking the best of photos that I can. And I took in all your tips as well. I figure my photos can only get better, not worse...Let's not go back to when I first started! LOL ;) Again, I truly enjoyed everyone's thoughts and thank you so much. :) Please though, if my photo is THAT bad, let me know! LOL I will certainly take more tips along the way! ;)

Now, onto my card.

I saw Virginia's View Challenge and knew I wanted to play! Which, I surprised myself some because for days I had no crafty mojo! Or maybe I did, but have been overwhelmed by all these new releases, etc. (Have you seen all the new goodies out there?!) ;)


Okay. Here's my card.
 

Cardstock, after cardstock. I finally was able to get things straight. Yes. Being the perfectionist, I am. I can't let things slide. I mean honestly, most probably wouldn't be able to see it. Though if I can, that's enough to make me crazy. LOL Anyhow, I played with some new Waffle Flower stamps and thought of a Valentines card. That's coming up soon enough, right?! ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

  3. Great card! I'm a perfectionist, and I have discovered that most other people don't see the imperfections in my cards. I have also discovered that if you tilt your card just the right angle, the uneven stamping "disappears" in the photo, lol! I just give those cards to people who I know don't care about straight lines and even-ness. ;-)

  4. This is simply gorgeous, Shelly! The soft colors and gold are such a stunning combo, and you used them beautifully! So glad that you join the fun over Virginia’s View “Clean Slate” Challenge! PS: About the photos, I am also trying to improve as I go. I'd say, try different options and see what make YOU happy--that's the key ;)

  8. Such a sweet card!

    P/s: It's hard to get colours right in a photo...just post what looks good to you! I think everything you do is awesome anyway. You do CAS oh so well!

  9. Another absolutely super "sweet greetings" card. Photography is rocket science to me. I'm clueless. I just know Blogger generally makes my photos look crappier than they looked in Photoscape (which I use to edit). And even in Flickr the same photos look better than on my blog :(
