Hiya, great cards been put on recently, and lovely to 'see' so many new faces. Also loving all these links to free scrapbooking and card sites offering free backgrounds - very mse! I was'nt aware that there was all this stuff out there, I've spent a fortune in the past buying papers, etc. when I didn't need to! I printed off some lovely embellishments on acetate yesterday from one of these links, (sorry, can't remember which one!) they'd cost about a couple of quid in a shop, so very happy!
I haven't made my aperture card yet, its still in the 'thinking' stage, lol, but I did make this card for one of my younger sons friends:
I used a childs illumination toy to write the 'Happy Birthday' bit, photographed it then adjusted the colour using picassa2 (free from google) stuck it down with a 'Stick it' double sided roll, and then added alien and star stickers.Got to make a card for my hubby today sometime, its his birthday tomorrow! :eek: - might do the aperture one for that!I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderfulMarilyn Monroe0 -
Quiksave, I absolutely love the card. Perfect for a child - the bright colours are gorgeous! You must be chuffed to bits with it.0

Hiya I lurk on this thread but rarely post. My problem, slightly off topic, is that I have too much card making stuff and it all needs sorting out. Any ideas about the best way to store it ? At the mo I have it in various boxes and baskets & files. Don't know whether to buy a deep bookcase or a chest of drawers. Any ideas please ? TIANothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. William James0

Hi All
Hope everyone is well. So Apeture week this week? Good. That's my favourite type of card to work with as I find it hard to stay neat with any other kind!
I've had a look at everyone's cards and they're all lovely:T . Good to see so many new people joining and rejoining the thread.
Qwiksaver, love the card for the little boy, it looks really well made and Shaz Mum of 2 love the flowery green card you made, very professional looking.
I'm gonna have some problems with my decoupage card next week, because I don't buy anything (only card and paint lol!), but I might do a wee drawing on the computer and work with that and a colour printer and see how it goes.
