Hi all you crafty MSEs.

I'm surprised no one has pointed you in the direction of www.docrafts.co.uk yet. There's a forum & gallery where you can post pics of your cards and view others.

They are a lovely bunch over there and there's always someone on hand to answer your questions or share your excitement when you've picked up a crafty bargain.

Polly, that is so great!!!! Really nice. the ribbon is pretty too. And should be easy to repeat over and over again. You did a great job, you should be proud!! Is this the one or are you trying others?

ive done another invite but my friend is coming on saturday so we will have a chat then but she loves it so hopfuly it is the one i thought we could change the silver back to the colour of her choice if she wanted

That one is brilliant too. See, it works, it's a great basic and you can do lots with it, 3 squares, cut them straight edged, cut them with fancy scissors, stick them lobsided, straight, put a ribbon behind it, endless possibilities. Ooh just spotted the dots, gives it a nice touch, doesn't it? Love the lipstick and nailvarnish, really nice, Well done You:T

Do what you want. There only there for an idea, you have to adapt them to suit yourself. You take what you like, the basics and then add your personal details, that's what makes homemade cards so unique and special.
