    Thanks for the link for the flowers gemma, i don't normally click on these links as i know if i did i would spend far too much and buy something from ever link. But i have been looking for some more flowers as my local craft shop used to sell them for 10p each but they have closed and the shop has been stripped of all stock without any notice, it's such a shame.

    I spend £8 but also bought some papers. i can't wait for it all to arrive now. I started a pocket card for my brothers girl friend today, hope to finish it over the weekend.

    Well done rusty, what a relief.

    The-wife - your card is gorgeous! I love the embossing on the heart.
    Rusty - I love how you've coloured your Tilda; aren't promarkers fab? I started off with half a dozen Copics, but have bought a few promarkers as well now. I do still like the skin tones in the Copics. I'm waiting now for the student shop to get more colours in so I can buy some more promarkers, it'll not be much before the start of next term though.

    My nesties arrived today - I'm too scared to use them now. :o I'm worried I might break my bug! I'm totally in love with my Martha Stewart border punch; it's the easiest punch I've ever used.
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    First of all congratulations Rusty on winning yesterday. You thankyou card looks fab.
    I have managed to make a couple of cards this week but having a bad time with my hand again. I have posted them on my blog this one is a thankyou card and this one is for the christmas challenge.
    I will try to catch up on comments on blogs later depending on how my hand is as it takes me ages to type with my left hand :rotfl:I have been looking at them all and they are all lovely. I hope everyone else that is aching/ not well is feeling better today.

    Dragonllew - I love your Christmas challenge card; I've commented on your blog.
    I've made a card this morning with my new punch, it's on my blog. Am still too scared to try the nesties out :o, any tips much appreciated (I only have the standard cuttlebug plates, no rubber mats).
