Add to a gift certificate

Sat, 03 May 2025 21:52:16 +0000

This is more of a question for @Angeltown. Can I add money to a gift certificate I bought for myself? Since is helps you if we don't pay with Paypal or credit cards it would be nice to be able to add to my own certificate in small amounts instead of having to buy a new one each time I get a bit of money saved up.

Floral Mandala Tutorial

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 20:10:45 +0000

I've been asked to create a tutorial on how I made this Floral Mandala.

I used Affinity in this video tutorial. If you use other software, the tools might have different names/icons but the process should be the same.

The original Mandala was created using elements from Shine Like a Sunflower by NBK Design

My example for the tutorial was created using artcrush #77 {Wildflowers} by NBK Design

I don't know if this is an appropriate place for this, but I thought it might be fun to make a wishlist of sorts, telling some things we've seen around the web that we would love to have here at DA.

There were several things I especially loved at DSS. One was the Layout-a-Day event, which I have to say was responsible for most of the layouts I'd get done in a year. Another was the color challenge - I absolutely loved how commoners such as myself 😉 could meet the challenge by creating our own little mini-kits and sharing them with the others. And I always looked forward to the Advent Calendar and Christmas Song dailies as well.

What would YOU love to see?

Add to wishlist option

Sat, 03 May 2025 21:27:21 +0000

I would like an "add to wishlist" option on the shopping cart. I sometimes need to remove an item from my cart, but I want to save it to my wishlist for later. I have seen this on a few other sites and would find it very useful.
