gilt edge ...you can buy like a gold leaf and then you run a glue border round the edge and press the gold in ..or you can use an embosing pen and then sprikle gold embosing powers on

Flourgirl...I do re size then but I use publisher but if you print them out using windows picture gallery just click the 1/2 page
Not knowing what programs you have I wouldnt know how to help s-michael might beable to help more shes far better on graphics than me

Flourgirl lucky you having paint shop pro...I realy want that program and some lessons on how to use it...lol but my pc is old and I dont think it would run a large program like that
Thanks for all your kind comments on my blog
I have been making again tonight and made 14 cards..all simple ones ad all much the same design I had loads of bits to use up out of packs before I opened anymore plus I wanted to use up alot of small cards that I brought before christmas

Saveapenny - you have been busy - 14 cards - can't wait to see them.

Gemm - I am impressed - making fudge!!

Jailhousebabe - wow 6p - I think that will take some beating!

Bunbun - gorgeous card, so bold and striking.

S_michaels - the designs for your invites look fab!

Here's my 6p card then (couldn't seem to take a straight photo this morning ):



Saveapenny should recognise the backing papers, butterfly ribbon and small orange flower

thanks for the comments about my card. it was from lets make cards although not one of their kit ones so had to find the card, paper and embelishments from my stash. i drew the template on card then drew round it (even I can draw the shape of a house!!!).
I'm not sure how much it cost to make as I have had the stuff for a while. however if I add in costs for my time it would be a fortune!! I can't believe how long it took (all morning!!) - I am so slow:rotfl:

jailhousebabe fab card:T I love the colours:T

at last I have made a card! it is a new home card for our friends:




the windows are a bit wonky but it is handmade!!

It is made with bits I already had - does that count as the challenge?

Wow bunbun your new home is gorgeous, well done :T :T :T

Jailhouse - your card is fab, love the papers

Such fab cards on all your blogs, hope I've left comments on everyone's.

I've added a card to my blog for the Creative Card Crew texture challenge - here. I used a set of ultra cheapie die-cut shapes from Craftwork Cards, may try another card with them for our challenge...? Have received my Creative Craft World order today, so beutifully wrapped in tissue paper, so lovely! So am in receipt of Laura Ashley Wild Blossom bits - completely gorgeous papers, going to have to make something with them this week. As I got 30% off and free p&p could I include a card using this for our challenge? Or am I missing the point of the challenge
