Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

ScattyJan

Have I got anything similar on my blog Addams to what you want ? If so I could try and explain
TomsMom to add a badge on your blog if its the same as a linkie thing??
copy the badge to your computer
then on your blog
Go to Design
Add a gadget
The gadget you want to add is picture
A small box will appear
add the picture
and the website addy
Im not sure if this is how you add the badges but its how I add links

Thanks ScattyJan. I did the Add A Picture thingy, it asked for text but I just browsed for the picture which I'd copied to my desktop and clicked that. No website addy thing but picture is on. I didn't have a choice where to put it (but then I'm thick!!) but I'm happy with where it landed. I'd like a pretty blog but don't want to lose the layout I have so will stay with the boring thing I've got. I've had enough computer problems the last month to last me a lifetime :rotfl: .

Addams - thanks for the info!!! I remembered before that I'd taped the qvc show from yesterday so I've just been watching a bit of that. I have got an embossing thing somewhere that I won in some blog candy ages ago but I can't find it anywhere!!! I'm following you too now - your card is fab - love the image!!!

ScattyJan - thanks for the info too - die-cutting seems so complicated!!!

Jowri - no probs!!!

Pointofnoreturn - glad to hear your eye is better!!!

I just did it to kaitlyns then removed it to try it . I clicked on the badge and saved it to my computer. Then at blogger i clicked the button that says dashboard then design. add or arrange page elements and it looks like a page layout.
on the right on mine it says add a gadget on top of what looks like a sidebar. click that then choose picture from the pop up menu.
another box pops up saying configure image and you can put a title
etc and you can link to the blog you won it from by adding the url and then click where it says browse computer for image , save then view blog and it should be there.

Probably as clear as mud but it worked for me .

Last day on this computer, fan really sounding very very poorly so I'm amazed I got on!

Can anyone help me please? I got Top 3 in a recent challenge and have to collect a badge from Stamping with the dragon. I don't know what I have to do or how to put it on my blog. Gosh, I'm such a computer numpty. Can someone clever tell me. Ta.

There's a couple of offers on this weekend:

Free postage at the scrapbook garden if you spend over £12.50. And if you spend over £7.50 on their tando creative products she will send you a free pack of prima eline flowers with your order. The code to use is WORLDCUP2010, if you have problems getting this to work tick the option "collect order from store" which gives you free postage and then write in the box what you have done!

Also 10% off everything at Bunny Zoe's Crafts this weekend, just use the code "anniversary".

Thanks ScattyJan. You did a baby boy card in may with a tag on it. Did you leave the tag dangling or did you stick it on?
I have been playing around with tags and sometime think its better to actually stick them on, but then it depends if its extra to the card or the main bit.
Anyway, after that waffle, I think I will go and finish my card.
Thanks everyone for looking at my blog.:)

I stuck it down , I remember when I did a scrap book page I added a few tags and they kept moving and got on my nerves so I stuck the card down

I did a tag this week on the card I made for my auntie. I used an eyelet on the card and on the tag and threaded ribbon through it and tied it in a bow behind. I also previously just punched a tiny hole in the tag and threaded thin metallic thread through it then stuck it behind soething else so that the thread dangled!

Thanks for this pointofnoreturn. I looked on your blog and saw what you had done. I like the eyelet on the tag and card, it looks very effective. I might try that.
