This week I wanted to show you how I photographed it. Taking photos of projects (cards, jewelry, collage pieces) is something I’ve struggled with over the years and thought I would share my process with you…it helps if you’re taking pics of your things for Etsy or your own website.

Oh, yes–and an inkpad to prop up the card that kept slipping! The books are some of my own journals that I pulled off the shelf.

Happy Monday!
