It's been fun reading about this latest adventure with vellum and dies you haven't used in years, as well as some of the older posts, especially the touching one about you and Mr. Dunnit and his new venture. I also liked the post about the ribbon. Much to laugh about there.<br /><br />I agree that we often buy or get something and before we realize it, we are onto something else that catches our fancy. I agree that back to basics is a perfect way to spend the day because some of us don't even have those basics.<br /><br />And thank you SO MUCH for caring enough to check on me. I promise to be back next week and appreciate how you care.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-74657087150848143792011-03-25T13:56:32.931+00:002011-03-25T13:56:32.931+00:00Gorgeous cards, I love the images.

I agree with you too we do neglect some wonderful well used older products and it is always refreshing to revisit some of them or use the old with the new.

I do not know what I would do without Roxio 2011 to help me straighten and crop every one of my pictures. Even when I scan, I still manage to get them slightly wonky. My camera does have a setting where you can have a grid across the screen to help to straighten things up, but I can still get the sea running downhill.<br /><br />I really like that embossed vellum, and I am off upstairs to have a go with my bug and some of my new folders (I don't have any old ones as I have only just got my bug and not had time to play). Thanks for sharing that idea with us.MaggieC (Silvercrafter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13560733295194874288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-78893134708330380032011-03-25T10:01:19.624+00:002011-03-25T10:01:19.624+00:00Yes, I do things like that too!!
