Polly that "40" card is super, it doesn't need anything else, if you feel it does, YOu can put happy birthday in the bottom right, but it is lovely just the way it is. Mary I closed my eyes and visualised your cards and they look fab from the inside of my eyes! I like browns and neutrals and very personal with the ID tag.

:sad: I had to work today, so no cards from me.

This thread is fantastic!! I am just sat reading every entry and looking at all the piccis!! It is fab. I am a beginner at card making and having so much fun. I have printed off the instructions to make an exploding box. I have had a practice on spare card and am now going to get started with the 'real thing' I want to use the playing in the snow photos I took yesterday of my niece........oh I cant wait.
Please keep posting

everyones cards look great but i think we are all a bit critical of our own work-i know i am.i converted half of an older caravan that sits on our drive,into "MY" craft room but i wish i could craft more often.i started making cards about 8 years ago but have moved more onto scrapbooking in the last year-its all so therapeutic.i dont sell any of my stuff ,to me its just my hobby but i wish i could do more stuff from my computer-ive got loads of cds ive got free with craft mags but when i print out things on my computer they never look right.everyone keep crafting !!!
