Yes
I'm so happy! :woot:

I had a card sale today and thought I'd experiment with a few photo cards for the first time and I managed to sell 2 of the same image. I did try not to dance around the village hall afterwards!

It's the image I put in for February's POTY so I'm well chuffed.

Tempted to get it printed for home now (if hubby lets me)

onwards and upwards - profit is going to whatever toy I next buy for my camera
 
well done you
what's a "card sale"?

great pic btw!
 
Thanks Mike.

Re 'card sale': I make cards as an extra income (and yes the tax man does know!). Today I had a sale at a local village hall with other stall holders (jewellery, books, cakes, crafty stuff etc). Simple really! :)
 
aha you mean like postcards or greetings cards?
 
excellent - well done you!

bet the picture looks good full size too!:thumbs:
 
To be honest Mike, I've only seen it at it's largest on a 19" monitor.

I've been toying with the idea of getting it printed since a few days after voting started for last month's POTY, but I've only ever used Boots before, and although they were okay on this print small, I'm getting picky thanks to everyone here and don't know if they could do it to how I would like it.

Does anyone have any ideas where I could go for a one off print?

Thanks frostbear, and yes I am attaching prints to cards. Can't quite see it being profitable enough yet to get fully printed ones.

I use a permenant glue roller, so I mark where I want the image in pencil first

How much did you sell it for?

Not a lot, but it is a start! Sold at £2.50 each which covers my costs and gives me something back too. I made sure the back of the photograph and the card were plastered with my name. Forgot contact details though - d'oh! :bang:

Just have to get back out there with them!
