Camera Woes

Oh, my camera. I haz a sad, a big sad. I also haz three cards for the current Anything Goes challenge at Paper Smooches SPARKS, but I am most unhappy with the pictures I've managed to take. Keep your fingers crossed that when we finally get my good camera into the shop, that they can fix it! The first photo was taken with the now-ailing camera, and  the second was taken with the kids' *koff* crappy camera. The third was taken with my phone. Sigh.

The dying camera (which, somehow, uploading here it doesn't look so bad in draft....hmmm...)

Supplies: Paper Smooches kitty, 'hee', shadow, yarn ball & paw print stamps; CTMH haha! stamp; Unity 'you.are.old' stamp; Spectrum Noir markers; Memento Tuxedo Black & Gray Flannel inks; distress inks in Evergreen Boughs, Spiced Marmalade, and Tumbled Glass; WPlus9 banner die; classic small circle Nesties


The kids' camera:


Supplies: Paper Smooches birdie, puhleeze! stamps; AC Thickers; Bic Markers; MME paper

My phone:

Supplies: Paper Smooches Zoo Crew; Bic markers; AC Thickers; Recollections pleated ribbon; MME papers; Corner Chomper

It took me a long time to be happy with the photos I was taking - and now that I'm not, I'm kind of surprised at how upset I am about it! I haven't wanted to sit at my desk & make much, and I'm having a most unladylike snit about the whole thing. Oh well. I'm not much of a lady anyhow ;)


xoxo,
Jessi

    All THREE are so adorable!! The camera and phone took pretty good pictures too. Sending good vibes that it doesn't take an arm and a leg to have the camera repaired. In the meantime keep plugging away and creating cuties like these.

    You are so funny, Jessi! Wow! At least you have 3 cameras with you and I think all of them look good.

    Love all the fun loving animals cards!

    fortunately for you, Jessi, the cards speak for themselves, even if the cameras are less than perfect! And I never thought that cute kitty in the first one could be so very, very mean... ;)

    All your cards are so much fun Jessi, my fave is the laughing kitty! (hope you get your camera back soon, so much time is wasted when you are not happy with the photos... it's so frustrating)

    These cards are great! I know about camera frustrations. Mine died recently when I was home sick (I've had 3 colds in 3 months so no telling which round it was) and I took my germs out into public to get a new one and then it took special batteries so I had to go back and exchange it and wah....

    These birthday cards are the best!

    Back in the college dining hall, one of the guys said, "pardon me, ladies" and my pal shouted, "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LADY?!" Poor guy almost dropped his tray.

    So yeah, so not a lady.

    And your pictures look as good as mine do. Oh, wait ...

    OK, ALL of these are so much fun!! I really need to try to make more funny/punny "ha, you are now old" kinds of birthday cards. These are great!!

    After I stopped laughing, I read about your camera woes. It's a bummer when we have to see to the serious business of taking decent pictures for the blog. The pictures aren't bad, really. Maybe the Easter bunny will bring you a new camera instead of chocolate eggs!
    hugs, Asha
