rainmac - your card looks beautiful- I love the coordinating flowers, I'll make sure I check out your blog. I didn't think I'd use my cupcake papers much, but they've come in really handy. (and no - I haven't booked my appointment yet!).
Saveapenny - good luck with your website, what about "saveapenny's craft store"?
Sunrise - great cards - I love the blue hot water bottle.
Jailhousebabe - I am tempted to order from creativecraftworld as they have a few bits of the new smirk range.

I ordered from Creative Craft World - Laura Ashey Wild Blossom 8x8 papers, ribbon & chipboard shapes and lots of Bazzill cardstock as it's 40p a sheet minus 30% and free p&p

I'd really like to order the larger scalloped cards from Craftwork Cards, may do that today whilst cheap p&p offer is still on I haven't made a card with the owls yet, I painstakingly cut a few owls and branches out of different Basic Grey papers and popped them in a little plastic dish and put it in the cupboard out of reach from little hands. OH went into the cupboard looking for something and upturned my dish so my owls and branches are somewhere in the cupboard but I'm not sure where :rolleyes:

I love the new cards on your blog Mel, so gorgeous!!! Now, make sure you phone the doctors tomorrow morning and get yourself an appointment, if only to stop me nagging

Ok, just ordered the bigger scallop cards and some more legless brad dot thingies...

Furrypig - I ordered the Basic Grey matchbooks from Craft Ambrosia as they had a good selection for £2 each. Only have a few left now but they are gorgeous and easy to put them together... http://www.craftambrosia.com/index.asp?function=SEARCH

Marg...Do you mean just cutting piece of the paper or image to paste onto the one you want to colour? If thats what you mean use the square on the tool bar and left click then drag it over the area you want to copy. Right click and copy. Then right click where you want to paste it and paste

this is the order we got this week from our first customer who found our website through google
she googled big sister cards

Thanks sadly only one kind left now!! I really want to get some of these cheaply but might give up for a bit!! I just think it might help me to start with an 'easy' way of doing the kit but don't want to pay a fortune!!

Thanks Saveapenny - No I managed that bit just fine.

I feel so stupid.... the page I've got the birds on is A4 and there are 4 birds on it, neatly spaced. I've only coloured one and just want to copy & paste that image but I can't just select the coloured one because it more than fills my screen. So when I select it I only get half a bird whichever way I try! (Usually, in, say, Word, you just keeps scrolling up what you want to copy and it captures it all........):mad:

Hello ladies

Me again, sorry about this - has anyone seen any black and white tartan paper on their travels? I'm lookin for black and white check pattern if possible, all the ones I've seen have been black and white patterned but not check pattern.

Thanks again
