Jailhousebabe & Gemma85 - thank you I've slapped my wrist and think I've got over my negative spell now.

Gangstabird - your card is fantastic the handcrafted lettering is great - so neat - that's the thing I want next some nice alphabet. I've looked at your blog and am very impressed with your creativity.

If you use word art and overlap the square so that it's backwards, it's very easy to cut out using a craft knife once you have printed the letters backwards onto the wrong side of card.

This one is called SNAP ITC and comes with vista.

Gangstabird,
I'ce clicked thanks but that really is not emough - I've been proclaiming your genius (to myself sadly as there's no-one else in at the mo) all evening.

I've always wondered how people used word to create their lettering and I'd given up because I could never cut-out neat enough for the lines not to show on the 'right' side of the paper. I never knew you could mirror image the letters.

I've spent a nice evening cutting out some letters for a scrapbok page. I don't have any dies and had almost given up with scrapbooking as I couldn't do the letters. Am back on track now, thanks to you!

Marg...I agree your being far to hard on yourself your cards are just fine infact more than fine they are lovely

Rainmac...thank you..do you want some of those ribbon slides I have?

Ganstabird...your card is brillaint I love that font I dont suppose you can send it me, I have Vista but cant find it and think its a great cuhunky font for lettering
I have the blooming monograms from Pink Petticoat but they are a bit blocky (if you knwo what I mean)

Gemma...Ive had a bit of a rush day today with one thing and another but your paper will deffinatly be in the post tomorrow so you should get them Wednesday, Im sorry for the delay

JailhouseBabe

Sorry, about to go OT again...

I've just noticed a new feature since the update: as well as showing us the number of times we've been thanked, there's another number displayed that I'm guessing indicates how often we've clicked the thanks button on other peoples' posts.
Has anyone else spotted anything new?

I saw one before but it looks like its been removed....It was to remove your thanks...which I thought was a strange thing to add...how can you UNTHANK someone...lol But apart from that I cant see any difference with it although I am finding the pages are loading much quicker now

JailhouseBabe

I spotted that one; it would come in handy on the freebie forum - I know I've accidently thanked someone for cluttering up the 'tickets only-no discussion' thread with chat.
Yes, I've noticed the pages are loading quicker

hi just wanted to get a little bit of help from you all. i have bought a heat gun and have some clear embossing powder and a few coloured stamps and was just wondering if it is worth buying some coloured embossing powder as well. oh i have a small clear stamp as well, can it be used with the clear powder?

also is there a list anywhere of all your blogs so i can bookmark them because i read them at work and can't remember what the addresses are?

Sorry, can't help with the embossing as I've never tried it. If you have a look at my blog, cazsmum, there's a list of blogs that I follow on the left-hand side (they're all clickable links) - I think I've got everyone on here listed. Apologies if there's anyone I haven't got, please let me know x
