Uh Oh - MOJO


My daughter took one look at my MOJO 96 attempt this week and said, "Mom, please tell me you aren't going to post that!" After seeing this ... I hope one of my blogging buddies will recommend a good photo editing software program! I love the colors I used for this challenge, however; I can not get them to show up in their "true colors". Looking forward to your comments and suggestions!

You did a fantastic job on this card. I use Adobe Elements 7 and I love it. Super easy to use too.

What a sweet card Samie!!! I love those colors together!! and the bling on the circle is perfect! I wish I had Adobe CS4 - but maybe someday :) i use CS2... but something else I found out about was changing the settings on my camera and using the manual mode with the macro feature that really helped adjust the picture as I was taking it ---
whoever you gets this card will LOVE it!!!
best wishes!
Sankari :)

Hi Samie,

Thanks for your kind words on my blog! Your card is fantastic! Pictures can be tricky :( I am without a camera...I only have my cell camera! I "built" a photo box and lined it with a white sheet and just use a standard lamp. It seems to improve the quality of my pics without having to get any special software. I'd be happy to share what I did if you are interested :)

Hi Samie -
Your card is so pretty!! love the bling!
Sorry - I don't really have any suggestions on photo editing software - I have a Kodak camera and use the Kodak Easyshare software to edit my photos. Seems to work for me! Good luck!

Samie, your card design and colors are so pretty! I use Adobe PSE7 also, and you can get a free 30 day trial at the Adobe web site. I also find it helps to photograph in natural light with the flash turned off. Hope that helps a little!

Sammie that Mojo card is great. Very pretty.
I am going through the same thing you are...I can't decide whether I need to update the camera or the editing software.
I downloaded Picasa 3 from google which is FREE and it is pretty good. I use it a lot. My Dad is bringing me his full photoshop disc over...but any of the photoshop stuff is Wayyyy expensive. The full adobe photoshop is $600!!!!
I have decided a new camera is what I need.
I also built myself a lightbox to take my pics in which really helped.
Thanks for your great comments on my blog Sammie!!!

Great card. I too struggle with taking good pictures. You're definitely not alone.
