CASEing Critters

Hi! Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day weekend!

I CASE'd Sparkle's card today for The Greeting Farm's CASEing Critters contest. I have always admired Sparkle's creations so this is a great chance for me to CASE one of them! I love Sparkle's very neat, well-balanced designs.

Sparkle adds lots of stitching on her creations so CASEing her card really gave me a little push to try my new mini sewing machine. I bought this machine over half year ago and can you believe it, it was still in the original box, untouched! Anyway, the zip-zap stitches I have on this card, well, my first time. I used to use my mom's huge machine (the one with a desk top) so using this mini one sure was difficult for me! I think I need a better machine but then again, this mini one does the job (just takes longer) so why waste money, right?


Oh, I was trying to take a few good pictures of my card. I am still not completely happy with it, even though I took like 5 shots already! For some reasons, my pictures come out kind of blurry sometimes. Does anyone have any tips on taking good pictures? I love taking my pictures outdoor but I just can't be going back and forth, in and out the house just to take a couple of pictures. Besides, I take most of my pictures at night since that's when I am able to craft. But yeah, if you have some tips for me, some techniques, please let me know! Thanks!
