Just quickly popping on as off out to enjoy the sunshine!! :j

Have made up a card with one of my 'cheap' cards from WHSmiths bargains!! Quite MSE as the ribbons I've used were both 'freebies' recycled from other things & all other bits from sales on craftsuperstore & poppicrafts. I'm thinking it might need some tweaking? maybe some paper behing the embellishments? what do you peeps think?
Its for my friend's birthday & she really does love to shop!!



:D:D

Kim and Popkins ...great cards
Rusty ..are these any good to you http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r125/madjara/SHEETS/baptism-blessing-christening/christening/?action=view&current=004a2christeningoldergirl2-3D.jpg&sort=ascending
If you dont feel up to it I dont mind making them for you if you send me all the details and when you need them for

Chalky...edite the font with the drop down ( changes font style)
To make one word bigger the more you repeat the word the bigger it gets
I usualy copy and paste all the text onot a blank document ( or even an email) because I have never found away of editing the text once you hit create...then if it isnt right oyu can just copy and paste it from were you have stored it
Only way you can edit the image is to do a screen shot and then paste it into paint or word and crop it in there
Hope that makes sense

I am really struggling with this Wordle 'game'. When I did a screen shot I got all the headers and other details. I feel so thick but is there a way of cropping this lot out just leaving the Wordle bit..... Thanks for any help

Hello Everyone

Sincere apologies, I have been a lurker rather than a poster again

My youngest is now 15 weeks and wants to be on Mummy's lap all day - hence no craft time. My husband is home from Afghanistan in two weeks time so he can take over baby duty :rotfl:

Beautiful cards everyone (as usual !)

Hello, to everyone new - everyone on here is lovely.

Kim Possible - re: Apron Card - I used this free one from Mirkwood Designs http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/barbecue.htm

Anyway, I must go as there is a baby screaming the lounge down.

Hello everyone,

I have quite a few pages to catch up on but here goes!

fourgirl - your pink croqueted flowers are goregous, well done.

Mumhug - what a great freecycle win!

Melissa - gosh, what a Bank Holiday weekend you had. Glad to hear your children are doing okay now. Having poorly children in hospital must be a parent's worst nightmare.

Rusty - so sorry to hear your news. I hope today goes well and I think the balloon idea is beautiful.

Kim - what gorgeous cards on your blog.

Save a penny - I love your nappy cakes, baby card and gift set and your photobucket cards are fantastic.

Fifi - great cards and I especially love the butterfly one.

Rainmac - a truely stunning pocket card, I love it.

Popkins - I love your girly card, I'm very much a pink girly girl!

Keep up the good work everyone!
