I always post into the gallery then copy the second link down if that helps. I do have to open my pics in microsoft office picture manager first though to shrink the file size.

Ali - love that card - so bright and sunny!

Nat, such a pretty card, how did your machine cope with the glitter?

Love the prompt for this week - I have 2 to do for this lol!!!

Now, if you could humour me with prompts for a 'girlfriend' card from a 9 year old boy then I could get Mum of the year award

[Mystik Nat]

Lol I am not sure how I could work that request into the prompt...

My sewing machine is a little John Lewis one and coped fine with the glitter cardstock, I don't think the card shedded much when it went through.

I have got so far behind with my cards but have managed to make 2 today. This is my card for week 21 using the sketch as a prompt.

Great colours and choice of papers, Viriginia! I am actually making a (not so) mini album for FIL for Father's Day, so no time to scrap this week, really! But of course I do have to make a Father's Day card ... I've made one already, but I've another to make yet!

[Alibri]

Ok - giving it a try! Here is my Week 23 manly card for my FIL ...



At least it's in the gallery, and here is the thumbnail ....

Not at all how I intended, but that's the way it goes, isn't it?

[virginia]

Thanks Ali. I still have another fathers day card to make. I'm going to have a go tomorrow as they both need to be posted.

Here is my week 22 card for 'feathered friends' I haven't got many cards for men in my box of handmade cards so I am trying to make them at the moment which is good as I see the next prompt is to make a manly card! But first I need to do my week 22 Christmas card. It's a bit late to start a new card but while I'm on a roll I think I'll keep going!

oooh Virginia, that is gorgeous! Love it, all of it!

Hi all, I am new to this thread, I used to make cards years ago and then converted to scrapbooking, so it was nice to tackle a card again. Week 24 prompt ... a teenage card (the hardest people to make cards for in my opinion, becasue they are so flighty as to what is cool and not ) anyway, here is mine.......

[Alibri]

Welcome Claire! "Cool" card - I agree that teenagers (esp boys) are really hard to make/buy for! My sister gave me a list of what was acceptable for my teenage nephews - and most of the stuff that I had put on their cards was definitely not cool!

[virginia]

Ali - I forgot to say how lovely your nautical card is. I may have to card-lift it if that's OK as a lot of my family are into sailing.

Claire - I really like your teenagers card. It is along the lines of the card that I am hoping to do too. I bought a set of guitar stamps to use for my daughter who was/is into guitars and rock music a while ago.

Here is my week 23 card. It needs to be posted off today for Father's Day on Sunday. I am having a Papermania Chronology phase at the moment. It's good to stock up with my men's cards though.

Hope this works
It did not attach my picture, boooo

[ruth]

Hope this time

[ruth]

Hope this time

Oh help, need to sort this out,
But hope you like the card

[Alibri]

Ruth - well done! Gorgeous card. Thanks for the comment, Virginia - my FIL is not into sailing, but I needed something to put onto the card! Love the paper you're using at the moment - very striking cards you're making.

[virginia]

Here is my week 24 card. This stamp set is great for teenagers. Just a Christmas card to make for the same week then I'm up to date......until Monday that is!
