Have just left feedback for you:)
One little thing though
You need Jaysmummies post on photographing and uploading the LO's which I am sure you will find in the archives somewhere. It makes a huge difference to how the LO appears if it is photographed well!
Otherwise they are lovely LO's - well done:)

Nemo...Ive taken a peep and left commets on your LO's over on UKS. You have only been doing this a week
Ive seen some LO's made by scrappers who are on design teams and they dont match your standard - you go girl...you have natural talent.
Taking yopur piccies is best if
- You place the LO on the floor and stand above it. Taking piccie in overcast lighting....not dark / bright sunshine.
or
- Blu tack the LO to a white background and then tack shoulder height to a wall. take you piccie with sun behind you.
Or you can scan and stitch the LO together if you dont have a 12x12 scanner.
Picasa2...free download is a very easy programme to use and allows to crop, straighten and alter highlights/tone etc of the piccie...also good for altering piccie to B&W with focal saturation.
You need to reduce Jpeg sizing and keep LO's to around 800x800 if using UKS gallery.
Personally Im not uploading to UKS anymore....fed up with people scraplifting and then claiming work as their own.
I dont mind people lifting .....just wish they would ask or at least leave a credit in their post.

No no no UCM I can't say yes, people have already sent me lots of nappy related stuff for my skint cloth nappy switch and I'd feel like a proper old sponger!!!
REally nice of you to offer
I have a cellophane album kicking about... and lots of scraps of wrapping paper and origami paper and I don't care if mine don't look like 'proper' scrap pages I'm the type of person that never sticks to patterns or anyone else way of doing things... (which isn't actually helpful lol)
