Sure was ! It's a pain as I only have it on my work PC, not at home so for the time being until I work out how to download it here I've been printing at work,luckily my boss doesn't mind.

Marg ~ would love to see your images, but I'm hopeless with how to do it! I'll PM you my email addy and if you work it out with the help of these lovely peeps I'll be eternally grateful :A

Saveapenny ~ Fab cards :T I love the bouquet of wishes & the wedding one. Off to take a peek at your other cards.

I've been selling a fair few of my cards to the ladies at work for a £1 each, so now I've got some money to buy some more bits, off to the range this morning to see what they have. Love the Papermania range of card toppers. but really want to start having a go at making my own. The daisies I've made are sweet x

Saint Chris is it the font your after? http://www.dafont.com/ is good for finding fonts If you wont the H to be large and go down the page Once you have typed it in just left click and highlight the letter you want bigger and alter the font size...I hope Im on the right track with what you want.
My first Pink Petticoat card

Stunning cards saveapenny as always :T :T - have you written the words or printed them off the PC - the font is fab.

Tigzem - Can I ask what colour you printed out the Happy Birthday in. It looks greyish, but have just done a 'Happy Mother's Day' one in grey and it looks rubbish, but black is too harsh.

Thanks, hope you had a good time shopping for bits in the Range and got loads of bargins!

Hi CT, I used a grey colour, think it was the Gray -50% on Word. It looks kind of silver but not metallic, if that makes sense! Hope that helps xx

Saveapenny ~ thanks for the website for the fonts, have managed to find one I like on there and also it explained how to install them so I've managed to find one similar to Papyrus. Thanks !!!

Lovely cards Saveapenny, and lovely cards if I have left any one out.

Saveapenny - It worked! Thank you! I got 3 card 'fronts' onto photobucket edited as you said. Couldn't manage the inners but have sent the whole lot to Tigzem as Adobe files in the hope she can use something. Now I've got the method - 'watch this space' as the saying goes.....Thank you once again.

Hurrah! My neice told me last night she's pregnant so I can do a pram card!! I thought I'd not get the chance for ages & ages.
