Go to the picture of the candy, right click and save to a folder or desktop.

On your blog, go to Design and you will see Add A Gadget - click and then scroll down to Add A Picture and click on the + mark. From there you can add your image From Computer (Browse), put a title, caption and a link to the blog the candy is from. Make sure Shrink to Fit is ticked. Then click save.

Hope that's clear.

Sorry to dash in and out again, still a bit manic here. Hope everyone is OK. We've had a gorgeous sunny day, about time too!

KMS26 - above is a much better explanation than I could give - HTH I just buy a magazine if I like the look of the freebie on the front! so sorry I can't advise.

'Nesties' are Spellbinder dies full name 'nestabilities' that can be used with cuttlebugs or similar to give shapes like the scalloped circles, squares etc invaluable to folk like me who can't cut straight.

well done to our winners!

some good news, just had my leaving date confirmed at the 27th August! only 2 weeks and 2.5 days to go :j

Congratulations


For all you vintage and shabby chic lovers out there - have you seen this. For the first time I can truly understand when cuttlebug brought out pink ones a few of you (naming no names...;)) bought it even though you had the green one. I WANT one!!! (But only if some nice person buys me it cos I an't paying that price :eek:)

Forgot to ask - can anyone let me know the cheapest place for ProMarker packs of 5 please?

Afternoon ladies, back from camping and it was much better than I thought it was going to be... I am def. more of a hotel girl!!! Maximum 2 nights in the tent for me:rotfl:.

Loads of pages to catch up so I hope I havent missed anyone - ((hugs)) to those who need them.

melissa - have a lovely time at your mums - there is nothing like being spoilt by your mum xxx
elysia & gemm - ooh yummy candy will go back later to sort my entries out (and gemm happy last day at work countdown!!!)
giggle - glad your eye is on the mend hope the clothes arent ruined.
wanna b - :Tcongrats:T
xxxxxxxx - congrats:T:T
jellybaby - I always worry my cards arent consistent. Sometimes I am really pleased with them and think they look great and othertimes I feel they look a bit basic:o. But like melissa says I enjoy faffing on with them.

Has anyone seen artydoll online - not heard from her since I asked her to pm me since she won the last challenge???

Ooh its good to be back... missed you all!!!:D

I did it!! My blog will get overloaded with badges if i ain't careful lol!!

I have been doing that too, but thought a subscription maybe a good idea, i have noticed some of them give gifts away too when you subscribe, so i may have to have a flick through my mountain of magazines later to see which one is best!! lol

So i NEED a cuttlebug or similar to use the nesties, why is christmas so far away!!:mad: Hmmm i wonder what i have i can ebay??? :rotfl::rotfl:

kms26 I have just recently subscribed to Cardmaking and papercraft. It was one I bought regularly anyway they have good freebies and the subscribers gift was a sizzix texture boutique and loads of bits & pieces. I think its Papercraft Inspirations you can use with Tesco clubcards but you wouldnt get a subscribers gift.

Welcome home Ali :j

Mel, if you want to join the card swap that's fine, just let me know. Hope you're having a lovely day and remembeing to take loads of pics!

Well done Scatty, that is a beautiful card

Good luck to your OH Rusty with the interview xxx

I've been cleaning mad today - dusted, hoovered, tidied, cleaned bathrooms and kitchen and managed to have a good go at DS1's bedroom and get rid of loads of paper and carp. Got the ironing to do now and the pile is HUGE, wish me luck ladies

I subscribe to Papercraft Inspirations (through Tesco) and I think it's rather carp to b honest. For the Clubcard price it's fine I guess. I also get Crafts Beautiful but I think that has gone downhill. I may not renew anything and buy the odd magazine as and when I see it instead

PepPop They have half price promarker packs here & free delivery! I ordered some & they came really quickly. x

Thanks rainmac err when you have done that can you just pop to mine - lol xx Rusty - do you still need some stick on glow in the dark stars??? We have just taken some down from eldest sons room if they would be any good - they have been stuck with white bluetack stuff that came with them that would need replacing but you are welcome to try them??? - sorry its off topic xx
