Wow! We had some fabulous submissions this month! Here is the last batch for the January assignment:
Barb Riley, of SK, sent me this yummy looking photo of cookies at the ByWard Market in Ottawa, ON. She writes, “[The cookies] were in the same bakery where Obama bought his maple leaf cookies when he visited in February – you can see them just below the shelf of cookies I photographed. They’re still advertising them as “Obama cookies”. I focused on the yellow ones as yellow is my favourite colour and I wanted them to stand out.”:

I love the mix of bright colours here – thanks for submitting!
This next photo was submitted by Julie Ballah, of ON:

Great depth of field, Julie – and love your sunny, yellow scrap room! Thanks for sending us your photo!
In keeping with the scrapbooking theme, Mindy Smith-Bernard, of ON, used the tutorial to photograph her American Craft ribbon collection:

Maxine Lozinski, of AB, submitted this photo:

I love the contrast of the orange with the brown – after all, orange is my favourite colour! Thanks for your submission, Maxine!
Carla Ganske, of AB, submitted this next photo, saying, “I had to photograph my ATC Trading Cards that I created for a swap. I thought I would use what I learned for this photo shoot.”:

And last but not least, Jamie Harder, of SK, sent us this beautiful photo of her daughter, Sienna:

I love the pop of colour from the lollipop! Thanks for submitting!
Well, now I am inspired to go out and photograph something! But first, I will compile all of the submissions for both the January assignment and the contest and will report the winners later this evening! Thanks to all who played along and be sure to check back later this week when I will post the February tutorial and assignment!
Sue has been behind a camera for more than 25 years, working professionally as a photographer for the last ten years. While she began the hobby of scrapbooking in 2000, as a complement to her photographer career, it soon grew into a rival passion! Sue loves to enlarge one of her favourite photos and make it the focal point of her page, using her supplies to bring the focus onto her photography. She has, in recent years, turned more to scrapbooking "moments" rather than "events", choosing to leave her children more insight into her point of view of their lives.
