Hi craftygranny thanks for your lovely comments :j in answer to your question was the the slider card difficult then YES it was :rotfl: but it was my first attempt :rotfl: and i had a few technical difficulties and it was my hubby that sorted it out for me :rotfl: but now i know how to do it it will be easier IFSWIM? and it was worth all the trouble seeing the end result

heres my card for this weeks challenge






the football is a slider i found the mechanics part easy decorating it was another matter

Completely lacking creativity this week too much pain from my trapped nerve although i have finally got a copy of lets make cards,everywhere round here sold out quick i had to order it at the village newsagents ......watch this space


on a happier not have given a lot of my cards this month and have all been well recieved i even got a call from usa from stepdaughter telling me she loved the elvis card i posted a few weeks back





Enjoy your crafting

polly - thanks for putting my card on. It was a winnie the pooh image from computer, piece of ribbon down left hand side, some peel off balloons and I made the Happy Birthday with a peel off stuck onto card and then stuck with foam pads. Thinking that it would be a good card for baby grandsons birthday.

Super cards polly.........all of them ! :T How do you do sliding cards ? Never done anything like that.........probably be beyond me..............lol

shaz - lovely cards.........:T ..another 'slider'...............I must find out more about how to do this.

Hey savvy, I thought you said you don't do decoupage? Inspired by the ones on here perhaps?

As for my card print quality, americangreetings probably produce good quality images which I pay a subscription for and I use an Epson printer which seems to work really well. (Shame the dialogue box on it is in german, I think I set it up wrong! :doh: :rotfl: )

Aaaah I thought decoupage was lots of layers raised up? If it includes just one layer raised, then OMG I've done a few!!! :eek::eek::eek: :rotfl::rotfl:

Well it's come out really well, I've got an Epson R300 which admittedly IS for photos, they come out great, but paper stuff is a bit fuzzy on the edges.

Polly I love your Pooh card! And I like your Iris folding ones too, I need to get to grips with that technique.

Shaz - although not a mega fan of Elvis, that card looks really great, I like the blue hue to it.

Great cards, everyone! Polly thanks for the challenge. Love the slider card and the irisfolding fathers cards are fab, great job on the cutting out!

I love Winnie the Pooh Mary and have made one as well for my Winnie the Pooh mad niece who will be 4 soon. Not quite finished yet though.. Nice red card idea on the footbal card Shaz

Doh sorry Mary just realised the Pooh card was yours - well done
