These wonderful ladies have taken the challenge by the horns & ran with it & their results are excellent!  It has been great getting to know each designer a little more just through the challenge itself.  Thank you ladies for doing such a brilliant job :)  We are going to find it sooo difficult to nominate a winner but we will let you know who that is very soon :)  

Thank you so much for participating & we hope to have a few more of you participating in this challenge :)

What is the theme focus this month?
Your Craft Room

This month we have a wonderful challenge for you.  It is based around you, the Designer & the focus being on your craft room.  We hope it will help many of you in regards to your photography environment when taking photo's of your gorgeous creations. 



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dreamtime Designs Craft Challenge #2:
My Craft Room - Construct A Lightbox.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


This challenge revolves around creating a lightbox which will enable you to take better photo's of your designs & / or projects.  It will help you to eliminate items from the background & provide better lighting during your photo shoot.

* If you already have a lightbox that you have already created please try to remember how you put it together.  Use photo's where you can & follow the challenge as much as possible.  This applies even if you have purchased a store bought lightbox.

Please note: The questions are to be included & are an important part of the challenge. They need to be added to your challenge blog post along with your answers.



Challenge Part A:
Do some online research about creating a handmade lightbox & decide which design will better suit you & your needs.  Use your research as a guide / reference & remember to give credit (if needed) in your challenge post.


Challenge Part B:
Create your lightbox taking step-by-step photo's as you go. Remember to explain each step with how you are putting it together until you have completed your project. It would also be a good idea to include a list of the supplies you have used.


Challenge Part C:
1) Take a photo of one of your designs without the lightbox as you would have done before you created it. This is your 'before' photo.
2) Take another photo of the same design but this time inside your lightbox. This is your 'after' photo.


Challenge Part D: 
Explain your experience including:

1) Has the lightbox helped you?  If so, how?
2) Are you using the lightbox inside the house or outside?
3) Are you using lights?  If so, what kind?
4) Tell us two tips or tricks about creating or using a lightbox.



I hope that this challenge & completed lightbox will be a great help to you.
Remember, try not to feel too intimidated by the challenge.  Simply break it down & concentrate on one step at a time.  Before you know it, you have conquered our challenge :)  We are looking forward to you joining us & having some fun :)

I just can't thank you enough for this assignment! The amount of time that I have to spend editing my pics (to correct the colors) has been cut in half.
I really hope that people will take on this challenge. They'll be amazed by the difference it can make in their photos.
