I somehow managed to miss two off completely and like you only noticed it as I was blogging the photo. Unfortunately my brother had already taken the card before I had noticed, so I had to get him to come back with it so I could add the missing pearls.<br /><br />Happy Crafting!<br />Sue<br />xSueHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786741542356949235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507950422830709358.post-7476897861691464182012-07-28T20:57:07.632-07:002012-07-28T20:57:07.632-07:00Love how you've made the bag an envelope and t...Love how you've made the bag an envelope and the matching card is wonderful.

I'm a bit hit and miss taking photos of my creations and fiddle for ages trying to get it straight ... my real bugbear is photographing 12x12 layouts, they are a nightmare!

We're heading for the US of A in September and I already plan to buy another suitcase over there, err. for any crafty goodies I might find in NM :)<br /><br />Lovely bags and card. Re. the photos, someone suggested trying to shoot directly in line with the card - I go along with that as sometimes mine look like vases so I usually crouch and hope I can get back up again! :( Some folk scan theirs, but not always easy with embellishments on.<br /><br />You asked if I printed sentiments, sometimes I do when it's more personalised wording. I just use a word processing programme (nothing fancy here girl!), and pick the centre option, type the words, then copy and paste a few times down the page, alter the sizes and colours a bit and print out onto paper to see what it's like. It can take a few goes to get the size and colour just right before I commit to a sheet of card. One tip, even if you have some fairly normal fonts (again, I just use what's bundled with Linux Mint - and that's not a lot to choose from) - do have a go at a font and tweak it to italics. Sometimes the most ordinary fonts can look great when in italics.<br /><br />Belated Happy WOYWW, Di xx #13Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153667791623954306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507950422830709358.post-89017762816830800162012-07-26T02:29:21.661-07:002012-07-26T02:29:21.661-07:00Love that card and envelope.

It also gives me the opportunity for a return visit to a new-to-me blog. Fun! I love your crafty space with all those colorful jars. Really makes you want to create, doesn't it? I recently cleaned and reorganized my stamp room and now I love to be there when I can find the time (which I did today--yay!) Very cute card and I love how you put one of your new chevron bags to use as the envelope.
