thanks rusty for the link:A. I have a question though for anyone who has printed the images out... how big do they print out? either your cards are all bigger than mine or your images are smaller! mine seem to be huge!

I user the windows printer thingy and ask it to print 9 on 1 page, there is usually an option for this? then they are fairly small but look fine on the cards

I usually resize the images using coral print house just change the size to one that suits the card I'm using hth.
Thanks for all the lovely comments on my green card and melissa I did enjoy embossing it thanks for showing us how to do that.

I am probably doing it wrong or there's a much easier/better way but I copy images into Paint and then copy to Word where I can change the size to whatever I want.

Here's the card I made last night. Can't believe it took me 3 hours! :eek: And yes, I know I should have been revising, but a girl needs to relax and I couldn't wait to use this image (thanks rusty ).



When I printed these images, I copied and pasted them into Word and printed 6 per page - but there was a lot of white space around them. I think I would have had to make them smaller to fit 9.
