sarahpowell Great card - love the fairies.

Wifey :mad::mad::mad::mad: That's terrible - point me in their direction and I'll cuttlebug the b*ggers. Have they rescheduled you?

Padster Got everything crossed for you - sending you hugs

Flourgirl :T:T Congratulations on your invite order :T:T

Rusty Great tutorial :beer: Hugs to little miss too

Choccy :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: That reminds me of the story of someone being told to right click (their mouse) and the couldn't figure out why it wasn't working - they were writing click on a bit of paper :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: (Don't know if its an urban myth but I found it funny)

Well I did intend to blog some stuff last night but got totally distracted making myself a lovely swirly new signature watermark - oops! Oh well when I do get around to posting I'll have lots of pretty swirly bits :rotfl: Note to self - stop playing about with Photoshop and actually DO something!!

I remember years ago the one where someone was told to move their mouse across the screen and they did that literally - mouse on the screen!!!!

I've noticed that lots of people are getting watermarks for their pics - sometimes they are too big though and obscure the card and I have a job to see the actual design and decorations on people's cards! Has anyone else noticed this?? Must be a nightmare for any DT's that are looking at the cards in their challenges!!

Right I am in the doghouse with Bunbun, cause I promised I would find out what these october afternoon papers are, but then I promptly forgot to ask ... in the mag they say they used october afternoon papers, but don't say which, does anyone know? I looked on october afternoons website but couldn't see? Can anyone help me please?

Rusty - they come from different pads. The light blue with the little flowers on is from this pad. Light blue gingham is a from Seaside pad and there is a red gingham in their Farm Fresh pad. October Afternoon website - they do fab papers!!

Light blue gingham not the one in the Seaside pad! Think it is Fly a Kite pad!

I tried to find out but not with much success, they are absolutely gorgeous but I can't buy any more paper, can I...???

Sorry Rusty, I did miss it, did see your post about winning at Crafty Creations so that's 2 wins in one week, not bad if I do say so myself! Hope you and lil miss are ok xxx

PONR Yep that's my problem at the moment - I've made mine HUGE so need to mess about with it again. I want it to look nice but not obscure my pics too much

I'm not a poster on here but a regular lurker
The cards you all make are FANTASTIC:T:T
I hope you don't mind me asking for some help,you seem such a friendly bunch

I have just got some promarkers to try my hand at colouring but I'm struggling to find suitable card.
I've bought several lots that i thought would be suitable only to find out they weren't:(
Please can somebody post me a link of the exact name & where to get it from,of the card they use? ....I will be eternally gratefully!

Hiya - I'm sure no one will mind you asking a question!!!!! I think some of the ladies use card from Rymans - rainmac does I know and she will probably be around soon to give you more info. I'm not sure of the price or the name of it so can't help further sorry!
