Saveapenny I loved your mummy to be card i have been thinking how much i would like to do one for my sis (due july) Can I ask if that is a pink pettitcoat image that you have used?

Rusty if you want some textured cardstock then Bazill is amazing but I no longer buy this because Coredinations is EXACTLY the same but about 20p a sheet. It costs about 11.99 for a pack of 60 but they are sandable to reveal a different colour core, or you can buy the jewel version which is pearly. I have seen them for 9.99 a pack but that was at the show.

Rusty - I had a look a few days ago for 12x12 cardstock and I couldn't find that much that was reduced, I'll post a link in a minute!!
Gemm - glad you had a good time, there were some great bargains!!
Rainmac - I made a few cards yesterday with the lili of the valley stuff - they were so easy and quick to do! And I used my scalloped cards - I think they are going to come in so useful.
Sunrise - beautiful card, I love the contrasting colours on the red one. I think your Mother's day card is fab too - I like the writing - very classy!!
Saveapenny - gorgeous cards. I love the ribbons that you've used on both of them.
Marg - really clever gingerbread man card, I like the colours that you've used with it, makes me feel very hungry!

Melissa - Thankyou very much for all of the links I appreciate it.

PLM I think it is the bazill that I have been looking at, keep seeing really pretty cards and one of the links Melissa posted up is a shop I was on not long ago looking at the same ones which was bazill.

Thankyou to everyone else aswell really appreciate all of your help

I am going to go have a nosey

On a different note OH found a craft warehouse local ish to us yesterday, we wandered onto an industrial estate to find a shop which I had mentioned and drove past a warehouse called arty and crafty. Doesn't look massive and I didn't get the chance to go in yesterday but I might have a fun up later on today once I am properly awake

Hi Everyone,

I wondered if I could have some opinions on this card. Its for mothers day but I think its missing something but don't know what. Any suggestions welcome:D

Thank you
PS the ribbon isn't stuck down yet so I can change that no problem, except its the only pink and white ribbon I have
