    Hello everyone!

    I've finished my card (well I did a couple and got my sisters to pick the one they liked best:rotfl: ) but my husband has 'done something' :mad: with our lead for the camera and I can't upload my card! I've ordered another one online so hopefully it'll be here at some stage this week.

    I've had a look at everyone's cards and my personal favourite was Quiksaves - I love it, really modern and funky. Everyone elses were beautiful too and I can't believe how much work everyone went to. So :T

    Love the idea for the new challenge Mary and am on my way now to mess up the kitchen table for another week!

    As soon as I get my lead I'll get my wedding card uploaded. x
  • Your card is cool Amethyst! love the colour combination,and the way the 3 hearts are arranged on the card.
    Have you put a poem inside?

    Regards

    Hi Sparkle,
    no poem I don't do words!! He is the composer.

    Well I've made my black and white card but I too am having camera issues! My memory card has decided to throw a wobbly and will not be recognised by my camera or my card reader, lord knows what I've done to it! I wanted to get a bigger one anyway so I'll get one tomorrow and post the picture tomorrow night. I never realised I had so much black and white stuff to play with!

    I don't know if this has been posted anywhere already, too lazy to check right now but I was looking through this months issue of Papercraft Inspirations and there's an advert for a free paper pack, it says if you log on to readicut.co.uk/inspirations you can get a pound of paper worth £14.99 for just the P&P which is £3.95. Sounds good!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Sounds intrigue-ing (spelling?)...

    Don't forget those of you with camera/connection problems you could use a scanner if you have one...;)
