This weeks challenge is a card. You can use any cart you want but you must make it into a shape or a window card of some sort. You need to have 3 welds (a word is considered 1 weld), and a stretch. Any theme, it just needs to be something you will use. All entries in by the 23rd and the winner will be announced on the 24rd.
Have fun with this. Here is a sample:  This is the link to the photo of the gift donated by our very own Southernbellescrapper!!! Thank you Thank you!Edited by user Wednesday, September 22, 2010 8:32:52 AM(UTC)

Thanks for moving this for us! This new board is going to take some getting used to! :) How in the heck do you post a pic though? I see the 'add picture' icon, but a box comes up for the 'url.' So can we only post using programs like photobucket now? Edited by user Friday, September 17, 2010 2:15:01 PM(UTC)

I just couldn't get to post. Note if it is on your blog you use that address.

Hey! It worked! If you want to attach a picture when you are posting: 1. Look right above where you click on the blue button that says 'post' 2. Check the box that says 'attach files to this post' 3. Then click 'post' 4. When you hit 'post' it will take you to a screen where you can upload pix from your computer 5. Once pic is uploaded, click 'back'. This will take you to the post. Yay! Then it will be on the post and you can click on the image (i.e. the prize above) it will make it bigger!!! Yay! I was worried about that 'url' thing. I'm not good at that. I hope I made some sense above. :) Edited by user Friday, September 17, 2010 2:38:54 PM(UTC)

No problem! I figured some of yall may of already knew how to do that. But I knew there had to be someone else out there as clueless as me. LOL hey, question too, how do yall that have your post typed in colors and bigger size, etc do that? Can you set that on a default somehow so it does it every post??

Well, after baking cheesecake, doing a layout for DT work, and then cooking dinner for the hubby, I am about worn out for the day. But I did sit down and play with Esmerelda (that's my Gypsy's name...ha ha). I have my card for this challenge designed. I hope to work on it tomorrow and have it posted before the day is out.

a tip for photos - when you post images and copy paste the url - ou will find that somewhere it says s followed by a number like say /s1200/ etc if you change it to s400 then it will fit inside the window

I hope you get better really soon Cdaily! My hubby is battling a horrible cold right now as well. This is the first of the season for him and I can tell he is suffering. Last night in the bed I don't think he slept for more than 15 minutes at any one time. He is so congested and tossed and turn. I know...he kept me up. I kept asking if he was ok. I probably drove him crazy! LOL. He is taking some type of Tylenol Sinus/Congestion stuff. He says it is working well. That and some of those Similison (I know I did not spell that right) drops for your ears. They are all natural. Anyways, feel better!

here's mine although i'm not too proud of it. i know it could be (and will be) better but i am glad i am sticking it out and learning little things as i go. lol
this is a shape card, has a window, has several flips and welds, stretched the entire image, and was a pain in the hiney! but i persevered and got the basics down at least.
here is a pic of it which i am also posting in the daily challenge thread today. Edited by user Tuesday, September 21, 2010 2:17:43 PM(UTC)
