Hi Wendy,

I love your cards; they're so cute and it's great to see products used that you can get here in the UK!

On that note - the wooden alphabet stamp set you used wasn't listed with the supplies; could I have the details please? I've been looking for one for ages, and can't find what I want in UK shops.

Thank you!!!

@nblackburn21 I totally forgot to put these in the supplies list - d'oh! I bought mine for the great price of 99p in the UK at The Range. They have loads of different fonts, but these were my favourite as they are the most versatile.As for good UK craft shops, The Range is probably my favourite, closely followed by Hobbycraft & Dunelm Mill, but sadly, you can still only find the best deals online in the UK. Catch up Britain!! Happy shopping! =)

Hi Great Card

Just a tip - try using the flat end of a paint brush the handle end or cut off a tooth pick and you simply dip the flat surface into the paint and use it to make the dots - it is a lot quicker and you get really uniform dots too - easier than using a paint brushes bristle ends - a tip I actually learnt from an aboriginal..might help just thought I would let you know......

Cheers Donna - Down Under......

This is a great card..lovely painting.  Not quite sure what was going on with the camera..but it kept going in and out on my end!

@magan97 I 'accidentally' bought myself a new camcorder (!), so all my new vids will now be focus perfect. Please have a look at my most recent ones and let me if my investment was worth it! =)

@kitty3309 Yes...but I had no idea, lol! Oops & thanks for the heads up =)

[whimsicalwendy]

@magan97 It's something to do with the auto focus, which cannot be disabled (irritatingly!). So it's either a new video camera (!) or a search on the internet for some hardware that would upgrade the camera to disable this option, if such a thing exists...but rest assured, I am working on it! =)

Awesome! You did a great job making this card. I love the colours.
