Do you have a reason to celebrate today?
Does anyone you know? How about an anniversary coming up
for a friend or some other special event?
This card is going to do just that for my girlfriend
who got a promotion at work.
It also fits in nicely with the
I also want to celebrate because I created two
DIY photo lights and this was the first card I photographed using
them! I was able to make both lights for less than $75 with
supplies I got from Walmart – not my favorite place to shop,
but definitely a one-stop shopping place for these supplies.
Just to purchase one light that is
premade online is $95 – so I feel like the amount I spent is great!!
See my set up? I can clamp the lights wherever I want.

After all, I live in northern Ohio – and even though it’s September, it’s
already getting dark around 7:30 or actually a little earlier – crazy! In a month
or so, it’ll be dark as soon as I’m home from work and then before I’m home!
Sometimes, I want to photograph a card at, say, 10:00 pm.
Now, I can! WooHoo!!! I’m so psyched!
This is the website where I got the instructions on making the lights:
