DeleteSaw your comp and decided to give it a go, however I have not been able to get the thumbnail to show
ReplyDeleteKate

Kate , have you managed to attach thumbnail before in the same way you are trying ? Or is this something new to you? Then perhaps we can figure out why x
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteKate looks like you figured it out now, Lovely card x
DeleteI have just entered too, will take some time later this evening to check out the DT blogs and other entries. The stuff I have seen so far has been fab! If anyone has trouble with the thumbnail it may be that the photo file size is too big.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sally, hadn't thought about fie size. X
DeleteLovely inspiration from the DT - love embossing one of my fav things to do ! Esther xx

ReplyDeleteEileen xx
Thank you Eileen
DeleteWelcome & good luck :)
Hello
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog.
Always a pleasure seeing other crafters getting pleasure from what they do.
These cards are more sophisticated than anything I have done.
I sometimes make my own Christmas cards, I make lino cuts and print them on my old hand press.
I do quite a lot of gilding, but I am primarily a bookbinder,some of your cards are like small books with complicated covers.
Do you ever use simple 3 hole sewing to join several pages together? It could be sewn with ribbon.
I run a site devoted to craft bookbinding, there are a lot of free bookbinding manuals which may interest you.
Come on over if you have a moment.
Good luck to us all.
Richard
