Bring on the Bling

I recently was trying to find a better way to take photos with the cards I've made.  I think it does make a difference if the lighting and background is right.  Hopefully I can find the best spot to take photos in my home.... if I'm not trying to rush in some card challenge and need to take it with my cell phone. :) 

I'm participating in 2 card challenges:
1) Allsorts challenge - Bring the Bling 
I got that purple ribbon/garland during last Christmas.  Just love it!  Regret that I didn't get it for other colors! 

2) 365 cards challenge - make it a white space card with minimal decoration on top. Use only 1/3 or less of the card space

I better brush off the glitter on the unwanted places before giving it out.  I'm new to glitter.  If someone has tips on how to make the glitter sticks better, please leave me a comment!!  I'm using glue pad to stamp.
