Wow Sheryl!  Talk about amazing photos and designs, yours are great!  What type of a camera do you use for your great pictures and if any which softwares do you use to create your cards?  I like to ask because I'm always learning how to take better pictures and learn new techniques to make my cards and other gift items I sell better.  I understand if you don't want to share, and will not be hurt.  But I love how you get the background of a lot of your flowers fuzzed out showing just the subject in perfect clarity.  How do you do that?  Keep up the great work!  Your shop looks great!
 
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Shari for your very kind comments.  I appreciate your support and you checking out my store.
 
You asked what kind of camera I am using.  I own a Canon XTI and use a macro lens for photographing most of my flowers.  By adjusting the f stop I can get a better blur, or nice bokeh,  in the background.    
 
The software I use is Photoshop Elements 5.0 mostly.
 
Your store is very cheery with your beautiful florals.  I enjoyed looking through your many cards.

Hi Sheryl,
Nice to see another photographer on board.  Your focal points and saturation are especailly nice.  Keep up the great job at filling your store with pleasing images.
I've been here 5 months and put up about 100 images per month.
Welcome, and don't be a stranger here on the forums.
Sue

Thank you Carolyn and a warm welcome to you too.  I love your butterfly design.  Butterflies are my favorite.  It is a beautiful card.  Much luck to you here as well too.

Grin Hi Sher, Carolyn and all of the newbies here! You will find this is a great place to "work"  Wink
 
Anyway in case you missed the other thread I pasted it here for you. You are all welcome to add your stores just email me directly Nikki@13BlackCatsDesigns.com with the subject of SQUIDOO LISTING and add the following:
 
For anyone wanting to add their store to the GCU store listing on Squidoo (http://www.squidoo.com/PaperGreetingCards) I get nothing out of this as 100% of anything earned goes to the ASPCA and The Humane Society. I am doing it stricktly for publicity to our stores.  
 
I need the following:  
 
  1) your store link through your email link. (for the extra 50 cents) It should look something like this: (www.greetingcarduniverse.com/community/store.asp?store_id=1327&gcu=419945760 18)  To get this information:  
 
login on GCU go to "Manage Store"  
Click on "Card Widget" under COMMUNITY  
Click on "Get HTML" tab  
Copy "Promotional Email Link"  
 
  2) a 1-2 simple sentence about your store  
 
The only thing I ask, and by all means it is not necessary, is that you leave a testimonial about GCU in the guest book. We want people to feel comfortable shopping with us and if we work together to rank this lens high more people will see it, the more people see it hopefully the more people come to check us out.  In the long run it will benefit us and hey it is FREE advertising so you have nothing to loose! It would be nice to see some more bulk sales come in so why not do everything we can?  
 
Thanks to those that have left testimonials already and thanks for pulling together to get people to notice us!
