Psst... the cut doesn't work. You forgot the first bracket. ;)

More like I don't know how to cut and paste. :-( And gosh darn preview for never showing the cut. Can't count the number of times I've fouled up a cut because the preview looked fine. Normally I'm awake enough to remember to look at my journal to make sure it worked, but last night I stayed up late to get the card posted and it never even crossed my mind. Anyway, thanks for the heads up -- first thing I saw this morning (in email) and rushed out here to fix it.

This is just gorgeous, thank you!

Glad you like it and hope you have a most excellent birthday!

i always love your cards and want to get into the digital scrapbooking, any leads?

Oh yes! http://www.divinedigital.com/ is one of the best sites out there, and I've also learned an awful lot from the Scrap Girls daily (Mon-Sat) newsletter. http://www.scrapgirls.com/

For tons of free stuff, check out DigiFree (http://digifree.blogspot.com/). New stuff every day and enough that you can fill a terrabyte drive in hardly no time at all.

For software, I use (and love) the gimp, but most of my scrapping sisters seem to use Photoshop or one of the other commercially available programs.

great links, already bookmarked!

Oooh, what a beautiful card, just perfect! May I add my best wishes for a very happy birthday to redblack32!
