I thought with the card swap the person receiving is supposed to post a piccy? That's why there is a gallery every month!! maybe I'm wrong, spoils the surprise if you have already seen it I think

Yes, it does rather spoil the suprise if you have already seen it. I would rather post the photo when I have received it, or if you have received a thank you for it, then post it on the forum

Sorry, my mistake. As I don't know if my last 2 swaps ever arrived I tend to photograph them before sending. Mistakenly posted these pictures instead of the others I had been working on. Pictures removed now.

Thanks for taking the pics off Jane, don't want to spoil what little pleasures we have left in life do we

Hi All,
Back at school, so organisation and time will drop to nill again!! Constantly looking for the 25 and 26th hours in the day!
Again, a new technique to learn! I haven't done 'lace' (don't know how to put acute in!) before, but as they say, theres always a first time!
Off to beg or borrow a template....
Alison

Don't worry Alison
Lace trimmings,lace material, lace edging, lace patterned paper etc
Like most subjects on here it is open to interpretation
Enjoy
And my interpretation is almost always different

I thought it was using Lacè templates rather than lace? Do I have it wrong ?
Anne sells Lacè templates and has done a Moovision on them for anyone who is stuck if I was right

Hi Jenny yes you are right its ttemplates not the material

Oops !
Got it wrong then I guess
I just thought it was lace as in anything goes lace
Sorry folks

I had to go searching to find out what it actually was Aunty Sadie

I'd show you mine but its disappeared somewhere between Surrey and Nottingham!

I read this bit on a site which helps understand the theme
"LACÉ (LA SAY) CARD MAKING - Lacé comes from a French word meaning Linked or Laced Together"

Here's one of Anne's templates and the link to the Moovision, which might help There may be more templates in store as I know I bought the one shown on the Moovision program.

I have had a raid on a friends craft box and have stolen, oops, I mean borrowed, a Lace template - mind you, me and craft knives are never a good idea... Where did I put the plasters...
