Back again to ask another question thank you Paddington for the link for the freebie images -however, when I have downloaded it the pic. is huge - can anyone advise how I resize it??? I think this might have been covered ages ago and I though I had bookmarked it but now I cant find it - sorry to be a pain.

Also, stuck some fiddly bits onto a card and got a bit of glue around what I have stuck on - is there a way to remove the glue to tidy it up??

Ali - Did you download the zipped file from the Freebies page? If you unzip it to get the image and save it to a folder, I then import the image into a document and resize it by using the little squares in the corner which show when you click on the image, then just print it off.

Hope that makes sense.

congrats mel!! enjoy your candy

I have spent most of the day doing my cabinet, sanding it all including all 16 drawers which seemed to take forever, then spraying everything. that stuff really whiffs and travels so far, most of the stuff in the garage has a pink dusting on it now :eek: good thing nothing important's in there lol

the worst thing was, even though I was wearing a mask, when I blew my nose afterwards it came out pink :eek: I won't be spraying anything else in a hurry :rotfl:

waiting overnight for it to dry then all being well can reassemble it tomorrow at some point :j

well done Mel!!!

i have read what feel likes 1,000,000 pages but forgotten it all. i have looked a quite a few blog and make comments and even managed to update mine! was going to make a card but watched ER instead,the very 1st episode!

i hope you are all ok, and i hope to actually find the time to respond to this thread every now and again rather then become a lurker again!

i'm going to the NEC but on the saturday, don't think the head would let me have the day of for a craft fair!

it looks fab, can't see it too well yet because I had to do it in the garage where theres no natural light, and couldn't really have the door open as we have a shared driveway (side by side, quite literally!) and I don't think the neighbours would have appreciated a pink dusting on their cars :rotfl: will have a better look tomorrow. the drawers were light brown before and seem to have sprayed better than the dark brown of the main cabinet so I just did it as best I could and will have a good look in the daylight tomorrow. got through almost 2 cans, just a bit left if I need to do any touching up

Well done Mel - I have those stamps and they're gorgeous (took a bit of trimming as the rubber's so thick though!).
I remember spray painting our bathroom radiator silver and it went everywhere - wouldn't you have liked a pink dusted car though Gemma?:rotfl:

New stuff on my blog - including Beary Big Hugs cards - I wonder if MME are going to do any more 6x6 pads like bloom and grow coz I've been using my free papers and am going to be gutted once they're gone but can only keep so many to stroke
