Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

betterlife Hope you managed to get your cake finished without too much stress. It looks amazing :T Love the ala cake boss quilting effect (I love that programme - have you watched Ace of Cakes?)

Ali Wow great restraint on not buying the promarkers :T (can't believe I just typed that ) Cowling and Wilcox are still doing them for £5.95 a pack. Can't find the free delivery code though - I deleted the email

Laura Love your card - the hat and scarf are brilliant - how did you do it? Love the senitment on your valentines card too

Addams :j :T :j :T :j :T Wooo HOO Well done!!!! :j :T :j :T

Georgie have you tried cropping the image so that you don't have as much white space round it IYKWIM and then you could resize it.

dallam Hello and welcome - fantastic card - you've got another follower

dragonllew How's your finger? Oh and how's your DH doing, has he heard anymore from the hospital? Congratulations on the win :T

Fluffb Hello and stunning avatar

Flourgirl Nice tip :T:T

Louby OUCH I hope you find your glasses soon - I know what those kind of headaches feel like - it's no fun at all. Hope you find your ring again too.

Wow Wifey great restraint on not diving into the cake - are you feeling ok or did you not have the matching cosi? :rotfl:

Tomsmom - It wasn't me, honest guv Brilliant new about your OH his treatment seems to have worked well got everything crossed for you both and inside outies at the ready. Hugs

OAP I can sympathise OH came in from work, watched the footie, then the boxing he taped last night, then the footie he taped last night, then more footie from today then took himself off to his bed cos he's on earlies and only had a couple of hours sleep last night :rotfl: At least it gives me time to mess about on the comp

craftygranny I couldn't get your link to work

Jaz It's CT19720 that makes the name cards

Marg Your winner's blinkie is made and ready to go. Can't remember when the challenge ends but at least that bit's done - I might actually get a card made for it too

Hope everyone's having a great weekend. I'm off to put another card on my glob and then grab something to eat. I'll try to pop back on later so I don't need to keep adding huge posts

My finger is still sore it will sort it's self out in a couple of days just a pain when it plays up silly things really make it ache like peeling potatoes and hooving I'm sure DH thinks I'm just trying to get out of them lol.
DH had the hospital again on Monday this time the chest clinic they couldn't find anything wrong but have given him some new medicine to help when he gets a cough and he has to go back in 3 weeks just waiting to here back from the other consultant as to whether they will give him medical clearance so he can apply for his driving licence back as it's almost 6 months since his last blackout.

congratulations to our latest winners
gearing up for another week of work (sigh)

Georgie if you want a free but basic photo editing system try downloadinding Picasa. It can do cropping, highlighting and a few effects too. If you let it loose you can organise your photos and put them in a filing system that makes it easy to find them.

I used to use Photoshop 'cos OH loves his camera and I learnt it through him but lost it when we had a new comp. Now I do all my editing through Picasa.

PepPop, you were so right! I had to wear red with me purple hat today so a red cossie would have clashed with the cake!
