    Hello everyone :hello:

    I finished the baby card I started yesterday for my hairdresser...

    I've put more views of it on my blog... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/

    I used cheapie A4 white card and cut it to size. As the card was then covered with paper, it made it stronger. I really like the finished look (and it was soooo easy to do), I think I will be making lots more pocket cards ;)
    gorgeous card rainmac love the colours,all your cards are lovely xx

    Yes mine did too - but just followed instructions above to make it smaller and voila!!!! wish I'd worked it out BEFORE I printed it loads of times thinking I was telling the printer to do it smaller & having it totally ignore me!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    CT....thats the one thank you

    Popkins thats a excellent card

    Out of all the freebies I have ever found I think Wordle is probably one of the best , I use it so much and you all seem to like it as well which is even better

    CT I also use the windows viewer to snip it down works just as well as long as you dont want to add borders or anyhting like that, I also use craft studio to alter the colours if I cant get them right on Wordle
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    Congratulations to Mookeybargirl for winning the Green Challenge:T:T:T

    Rainmac Beautiful card:T Have you seen this weeks CCC challenge your pocket card would be perfect for that

    Mumhug Your stitched card is gorgeous, you will soon become hooked. PM me if you need more patterns ;)

    Popkins Fab wordle card. I think these are a great standby especially for male cards they are so easy to make personal. How did you make the badge please? I have seen your hampers on the other thread and your labels are just fantastic, Do you want to share your secret:D

    Thank-you for your comments on my Pink card.

    Saveapenny I had 2 sets of flowers from poppicrafts they were both slightly different but excellent value for money so were the random ribbons. They were very quick at delivery too:D
