January Scrap Our Stash challenge - NEW!

For this month's challenge over at Scrap Our Stash, I designed this cute little birthday card! I've been on a bit of a streak for little cute cards, I'm terrible at sending cards if I have to make them in advance so I'm working to get better about that by making them in advance. 
Other than my work-ahead approach, you may be wondering what's new about this card? This card uses a cupcake from my favorite new paper pad (SEI, Happy Day Collection), my new lightbox (made from tissue paper, scrap fabric, and a cardboard box; approximate directions can be found here), one of my (few) new stamps from The Ink Pad, and a new technique (the shadowbox layout) that I picked up from the WMS Grand Calibur party!

I am working on my photos of my cards and I feel like the lightbox is helping a ton! Note: When I'm using it, I normally have the light directly above the box, but I needed light to take a photo of the box! Any suggestions on things I could try? I even added props to this darling little photo! (Keep in mind that about 40% of my problem is that these days I'm going to work and coming home in the dark, so I can't take advantage of that wondrous phenomenon called daylight!) The hubby's out of town so it's off to craft a bit more for me! If he's lucky, I may even think about cleaning off my table! Ha!
