Quick Poll: Attention all the people having problems adding photos to Crafty Place: Are you running Internet Explorer 8? (the new version?) replies much appreciated as I'm trying to fix the problems over there!

No, I've got Internet Explorer 7. I've impressed myself by knowing how to find this

Marg - your cards are absolutley gorgeous.
Gemm yes i am running ie 8 i tried the simple add an image icon and nothing happened.Also tried linking to photobucket that didnt work either in the end i went into the share option onphotobucket and it said if you are having problems try this link, so i did and that seemed to work.

Flourgirl - Lovely cards, I love how you have duplicated the colour scheme to frame the decoupage. I am going to pinch that idea if you do not mind

Bunbun - Really lovely card, I love the image that you have used

Fifi - I'm glad your shoulder is a bit better - still take it easy though

Gemm - Sorry you are having a stress week at work. Thanks for the tip re: photobucket, I will try to change my photo on CP. I have also looked at your new card and it is gorgeous

Mrs Tidge - Happy Birthday - I hope you enjoy your pink fizz and takeaway

Marg - The cards you have made are lovely - I love the sketch one.

Rainmac - Thanks for asking, Cards won over gardening today though I do feel a bit guilty now :rotfl:

Happy birthday Mrs Tidge!! hope you have had a fab evening. it is my OH's birthday today too - we had a birthday tea with the boys.

melissa I have used the guillotine lots and now I can judge where to cut I think it is fab. it cuts so much better than my other one. have you used yours? well done on the nappy cake :T

marg lovely cards. the sketch one is fab and I love the insert:T

gemma fab card on your blog - the image is lovely:T

rusty enjoy playing with your cuttlebug. what did you buy in Hobbycraft?

Didn't get a lot, picked up a solar system mobile for DS reduced to £4.99, a plaque for the kids to use the beads on (hama? the ones you can iron? except ours were 19p for a big massive tub from ikea!) 3 reels of ribbon (3 mtrs for 49p - so 9 metres) and erm ... I think there was something else?? I wanted some whispers but they now no longer stock them

MrsTidge wha lovely pressies!!! wow you have been spoilt, I have a Nikon coolpix although mine is black, it is fantastic and wouldn't change it for any other kind!!

I have just tried it again on CP and it has worked this time :j

I think CP was timing out before as it would take ages and then display that no photos were added. Whereas, it was very quick just now and has added my photo to my album without any problems.

Bunbun2 - I haven't used my guillotine yet, my Mum's bringing it up for me in a couple of weeks, I'm glad you're getting on well with yours though. Fab cards for your OH - I bet he loved them!
I've just uploaded a couple of pics onto my blog - one of my nappy cake and a couple of cards including my crafty place "summer" challenge card. I'm off to the crafty place now to try and upload a pic.
