Yes me! I almost always spend ages making a choice (and I haven't got that many papers) then in the process of putting the card together change my mind 'cos it looks carp - I just can't picture how something will look when I start so every card is a mystery 'til it's done.:o

I start most of my cards on Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 programme, that way i can see what papers work together before i print them out and i save paper and ink :money:

Forgot to say does anyone remember the poster RBK who was in hospital after trying to end her life and some of us on here sent cards?

Well there was an update on her thread from a friend who has visited her in a new hospital and she is just beginning extensive treatment and has been on a card making course :T Hopefully in a few months time she will be joining us on here :j

That's fantastic news.

I tend to start with an idea of what colour I want my card to be and then muck about on Photoshop until I get it to look like what I want, then make it.

Carmin fingers crossed for you. That would be my ideal job.

Hmmm...

Thought I would stay in the office today at lunchtime and resist the urge to spend money.

The I got an email from the Joanna Sheen site telling me that the Prima flowers I had wanted were back in stock. £9.99 away!

Madfrog, that's great news about RBK, hope to see her here soon x I too spend an age on what papers to use, more so than choosing and colouring the image, flowers and all that stuff put together!!!

Carmin, best of luck with the interview, take along some of the work you've done to show you are a fab crafter so someone customers will be able to relate to xxx

It's another lovely sunny day here today. DS2 and I have been to the park, I've done copious amounts of washing and trying to motivate myself to make a couple of cards but it's not happening. My OH is away this weekend and I'm going to get out in the garden and chop all my big plants to something more manageable and have a general tidy up. He won't recognise the garden when he gets back! Hoping to set the boys loose cleaning my car whilst I do the garden.
