    I don't like how the background still looks really wrinkled in their examples, but it's a fun concept. You can do this outside with natural bokeh (bow-KAY, they were killin' me with the Bow-KUH) as well. All you need is something with high contrast of light and dark. Like dappled light through a tree!

  6. I have seen this before, but have never tried it. After watching this video, It just makes me want to try it! I think I may have to run to to the dollar store and buy some constuction paper and some scrap booking hole punchers to try it out. Thanks for sharing the video.

  8. This is cool. I had no idea how people did this! I saw a great photo on flickr with heart shaped bokeh/lights-a still life photo. It was gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this Leah!

  10. This is a cool video.! Thanks for sharing. And I also learned from commenter Courtney that it's bow-KAY, I was pronouncing it incorrectly too! Oops. I must have been sounding like an amateur or something...oh wait, that's what I am (lol).

  11. Love it! Thanks Leah!

    Quick question for you - do you still use instaproofs? Is that the 'client proofing' on your website? Would you still recommend them? Thanks!
