julie h I really liked your easter card. How did you do it?? Is it all embossed and cut out on a cuttlebug?? Thanks for posting it RustyF.

No its not embossed all it is is flowers cut out in the same coloured card and stuck on

Still designing the backing papers and was wondering if there was any in particular that people would like me to design and I will try and figure out how to upload them to photobucket.

Hi all here is my card for the sketch challenge I thought it was going to be easy.....I was wrong I really struggled with what to put in the middle. Still not 100% about it.


Still I had to make an anniversary card anyway so never mind.:rotfl:

The background is handmade paper thats why it's not laying flat.

Saveapenny, Julie H & Mumhug ~ Fantastic cards. Mumhug do you make your own paper?

I may have to be excused this challenge as I am going on holiday early next week for 2 weeks & am having a packing crisis already! :eek: How do I get the kitchen sink into a suitcase & more important where do I get some summery clothes from when the shops only want to sell leftover winterstuff Grrrrrr.

I will try the challenge if I get chance.

Ok I have uploaded what I have designed so far for people to print off and use, just uploading some pictures of cards I have made and a few other things.

Once that is done, how do I go about sharing the backing papers with you all for you to be able to print? I have put a password on them so if people need this i can PM it to them

think that's it, hope it works, if you'd like the password please pm me for it.

i have designed these for anyone to use for their card making or scrap booking.

s_michaels - well done for doing that - I wouldn't have a clue

mumhug - great card, really clever how you've used the pattern and done the flower pots with it.

Julie H, I thought your card was embossed too, how clever is that, it looks fantastic. I'm sure someone asked and I missed it but what are the Easter letters - are they stickers? They look really good in the white.
mumhug, lovely card, you used so many different textures. I particularly like the lace and the purple flowers.

Hi all

Julie H - lovely easter card :T

Mumhug - your card is really pretty :T - you've had the same idea as me, to use the shapes as flowerpots (if I get chance to make one)

Thanks for my good well wishes.
Can I ask what to you all will prob be a really stupid question:o - I am making my first card (woo hoo at last :rotfl: ). Its a decoupage card and I've got all the shapes cut out but I'm not sure how many glue pads to put on each bit. I presume I don't cover the whole back of each piece ??
