Do you mind if I join you all?

I have been lurking for a while but haven't dared to join in. I have been making cards for a good few years now on and of, but haven't made any for ages, so really need to get motivated

Thanks

Mills

Please join in, the more the merrier, welcome Millie, looking forward to seeing your cards and inspire us all.

Hi Millie2008, please join in. I'm like you I go through phases where I don't make any cards but I always come back to it. Sometimes I get a bit demoralised because I can't sell any, but at the minute I think I am just going to make loads so that if I ever have any luck selling any than I've got a big range.
I am so pleased today, my order came, there was some lovely stuff there, I can't wait to get started.

Ideas for challenges............
colour theme -anything as long as its in shade of the same colour
recycling - we've done it before but I think someone asked about it......using anything we've got in the house as opposed to bought materials
floral - anything as long as there are flowers in it

These are just ideas........anyone can add other ideas and someone can pick out what we do

I don't mind explaining but do you know how to upload your pictures onto photobucket?

http://photobucket.com/

join them, it is free, you just create a username and password

then on the main page you see a section with 3 rectangle boxes and browse beside them.
Click on 'browse' and it will open your windows box, find your picture on your computer (mine is "my pictures")
click on the picture so it highlights and then click 'open'
On the photobucket page, in the first rectangle it shows a green tick and 'add title'
Click the blue box 'upload' and it will upload your picture onto photobucket, it takes a while and will tell you 100%
Now you should have your picture on your screen with lots of options under it: Email and IM, Direct link etc. and above it:move, tag, edit, share, delete
click on edit then click on resize, click on message board, click ok (this will make your picture smaller so it fits on the message board)
click the 'back' button twice to get back to the main screen where your picture is with all the options underneath it.
Right click on the last one : IMG code, it will turn blue, copy

then go into your message, right click under your text and then paste and it will copy your IMG code onto your message. when you press submit reply it will automatically post your picture.

I don't know if that is clear enough but ask if you need more help. This is how I do it but there might be an easier way..

1982 girl here are the instructions that i was given when i started posting pics hope they help xx
