Lynnie.....it's really pretty easy to post a picture. Just go to the below "Go Advanced" site and it will walk you through what to do. You do need to have the original posted somewhere in your files however, I think. Maybe someone else here knows what to do if you take it straight from the camera. I prepost mine in a file and then have no problem reposting them here. But I'm no techie so not sure if this will help you or not.
As for mailing the embellished card, I've decided to take the pearls off and use buttons and a clear sleeve. Thank you all, for responding to my question. I know it's more exciting to get a card that has everything canceled on it, but am afraid of sending something that won't all get there.....

mine for next month will have most embellishment sewn on or glued. i'll take my chances. I mail my dh one each year in the mil to work and they get there with stuff on them. mostly. sometimes, one or two of the rhinestones fall off. wish me luck on this one.

OK. Here's my postcard for January. Since my FPC is going half-way around the world, I'll definitely be using an envelope! It's really cool when I shake the FPC; almost like a snow globe! ((don't want to offend anyone)) I had a tough time getting the bathtub faucet and handles to not look like phallic symbols! LOL

Clever, Jane. Did you cover up the handles on purpose....LOL!

Jane that is dang cute what a great idea.

OK here it is I'm giving up I'm done this is not what I envisioned to start. It's not even my second choice nor is it the first attempt at my third idea. It is finally what I finished or never get one done. . My biggest issue with this kind of project is I can never get my hands to do what I see in my head. . It is quite frustrating sometime. So what you see before you is proof I have zero artistic ability yet I keep trying. .

Unless my house catches fire this lovely example of a kindergarten art project is going in the mail today. . Jeeeze I wish I had a grandchild that I could have pinned this on.

Billi, I think it's cute.

Wendiq - originally, the first faucet was rounded at the end. Then, I thought if I make the handles round, I'll be in real trouble! So, I squared off the faucet and made the handles square too and set them on point. Whew! The sequins just landed there.

How is everyone else coming along?

Billi.....I think it's cute too. Maybe remembering how my own kids use to look just like that as they climbed out of the tub.....a nice puddle always.

Jane, I was really just kidding. I love your card. I think it's very clever.....

Billi, I to went thru a few ideas b4 getting to where I was. my hands wouldn't do what my
mind wanted them to do either. such a fight between the two of them, they finally agreed
on my finish. should be arriving today.

Billi and Jane, darling FPCs. Great work.

Those are both cute cards, but I have been the same way. That is why mine isn't out yet. lol.. Mine is very very elementary, but it's as good as it's going to get on this one. I just need to connect the layers now.
