July Newsletter
Check the Latest Updates to see the most recently added pages to the site.
New Menus
I am so excited to announce in this months newsletter that the site has a BRAND NEW look. I have spent a few weeks putting in new menus and hope that you can find your way around the site much easier and it has now given me more room to expand...and expand I have.... so here is a BUMPER newsletter.
New Downloads
The Chinese Olympics start on August 8th so I thought this month I would do some Far Eastern influenced papers, I hope that you enjoy them. We will do some challenges to coincide with the forthcoming event - so don't forget to check out the forum to see what is going on.
Chinese Inspiration
So while you are in the Far Eastern mood I thought I would remind you that there are several pages devoted to inspiration from China. For I Ching and Chinese Years: Check out this section and I have also added some quotes just put Chinese in the keyword.
At long last I have now been able to add a search to the site, I think it finds pretty much everything on the site - but maybe the newer pages take a little while to get indexed.
New Ribbons Page
Following last months update of the buttons page, I have now updated the ribbon page, thanks to Clare (Kenspeckle) for her cards, I hope that you enjoy the page - don't forget there are still ribbons for sale in the shop.
Brand New Robo Files (gsd) Downloads.
I have added a selection of daisies and blooms this month. So now I need to sit down and make some cards with them....
Links
There are some great links added to the forum - so I have spent some time and constructed some web pages so that we can easily find them, I have added them to the free downloads section. I can easily add some new sections so keep posting your favourite links on the forum.
