I loaded a card to the gallery, it had 3 comments and then it disappeared. Can anyone tell me what happened or make the card reappear? I would appreciate help.
Thanks.

Tonda,
When images dissappear after they were approved, they were deleted during a scan for duplicates in the gallery. Before uploading it again, make sure you change the file name of the picture on your computer with something more specific.

Nancy,
I use Stampin' Up! cardstock. Check the gallery for this technique (link is under the tutorial) for a complete list of the supplies I used.

I really want to know how to do paper piercing. Although this technique is named Paper Piercing, it doesn't say anything about HOW to do it???????????? Nice card, though!
