Would people print out images on their computer if I was to stamp mine? Sounds silly but someone (not naming names) emailed me some lovely images last week and I can print them out over and over again, just wondered if it would be something that others would use? I have a massive box of stamps so. Ot sure? Let me know what you think!

Rusty Sorry I snipped you. I think this would be a great idea. I live in a one-bedroom flat at the moment and just don't have the space to store lots of stamps so I only use digis. Definately think you would do well with this one - what about pre-coloured ones to for people who don't have pro-markers etc.

Sorry to hear about your mum's FIL - sending you all hugs

Soma sending you postive thoughts and i hope everything went ok

wbr I hope you've got earplugs. From what I remember about my nieces at this age there was always a lot of squealing :eek:

wifey thanks for the freebie link. I'll have a mosey round there in a mo.

crafty good luck with the decorating - do you want to come to mine when you're finished - I can give you my to do list

Congratulations *******

Rusty, I'd be interested too and will at sometime endeavour to make a library but as you all are aware I am so v. busy at work. (NOT!)

Wifey You've gave me an idea for another cunning plan.... What if we set up a photobucket album that only we had the password to and we could all add images, BG papers, etc to it and use it as a giant craft database (Rusty if this is stepping on your toes with your idea please feel free to tell me to shut up at this point - but I was assuming you were talking about selling yours to other people) Don't know how that would go for copyright though...

I'll open a thread on CP for anyone that is interested

Tired Mom, I'll try the downloads when I get home and let you know about the checkout.

Thanks but don't worry I've just done it. You do have to register and it does look like you are buying things as you go fully through checkout but at all times the balance is nil so not a problem. Thanks for the link I downloaded a couple of other bits as well.

Hope everyones mojos that have gone awol are only on a city break and not a full blown fortnight away:D

Congrats ********

Just wanted to tell you all what an amazing service from Angel Crafts. I ordered the promarkers I wanted on Monday evening and emailed Angela to see if she had any idea when they would be posted because of me going away. Bless her she got them in the post first class yesterday :Aand they have arrived this morning, how's that for service. :j

The packs I ordered from Cowling and Wilcox haven't been dispatched yet as they were waiting for the mini easels to come in from another store. I have altered the delivery address with them to the caravan site as our postman has a habit of putting parcels on the doorstop and OH will be out all day at work, nothing to do with the fact that I don't really want him to see them all as well :rotfl:.

More jobs to do

Thankyou but I think I will be ok with mine for now it wasn't planned I just decided I was going to get it done as we had to clear the bedrooom out for the floor boards to be lifted so it seemed a shame not to!

Well, I have been very good today I have been to the range & didnt look at the crafty stuff & went v. close to Hobbycraft but didnt go in - how good is that - even though I REALLY need some brightish papers for the 1 year olds card that I have coloured about 3 images in but cant seem to get anything to work - think my mojo is looking for Rustys & Margs;).

Congrats to ********:T
Tiredmom - thanks for clarifying about the freebie site - I would have had a panic on thinking I'd bought stuff.

Just querying digi images - can anyone help - when I go to print them it gives me the option of 1 big image, then 2, 4 etc... but sometimes I would like to print one normal sized on but in the middle of the paper so I could die cut around it but I cant work out how to do it - oh has had a look and he doesnt know either:o thanks in advance.

What program are you using to open them up? I use a drawing program on main computer and just resize by stretching the picture on laptop I use microsoft office

Ah ha!! 1 year old card sorted rummaging through and found a cupcake card kit (basic grey) that I had bought in the Sale at Craft superstore ages ago - except I cant find the patterned papers - lol - I'm venturing back on to the top of the shelves... I may be some time!!

dragonllew - erm not sure they are in jpeg or p??? something and I just print them from there - I did try once to move the image to word (I think or a picture one) to try and resize and just didnt have a clue so panicked and left it where it was.

Ali, open them using Paint, (will be under Accesories in your start menu), then click Page Setup, and on the right hand side at the bottom change the percentage until the size looks about right in the preview box, then you can click OK and print it. just keep playing with the percentage if it's not quite big/small enough, hope this helps!

Lol try opening microsoft word then click on insert then picture you should then have your picture on the page, to the far right of the toolbar you have the option to change the siz of the image then if you click on position you can change the placing of the picture on the page. hth if there is anything you don't understand give me a shout and I will try and help.
