Hi all thank you for being so friendly cant wait to start swapping ideas with you. I have had a read (quick) throught the thread I was wondering if you could explain what ''the challenge'' is.:o

Hello Mumhug welcome! I'm quite new here too.

The challenge is set by Polly, the current topic is a 'Male card' to be posted by 6 pm this coming Monday. There are instructions on how to post a card via photobucket here.

The first topic of the year was a female card, most of the photos for the first couple of weeks in Jan were our entries for this which Polly kindly gave a couple of prizes. The other challenges are just for the fun of it. (though @ the moment I'm not finding it funny)!

Look forward to seeing your pics.

I know - I want the boxer, sugared and archaic fibres. Then I want the chipboard too, I managed to get it in the boxer range and its fab. The rub - ons are great too. I also got the brads and buttons in the sugared collection, the brads are cool because you get two sizes.

I got the Boxer chipboard and Sugared brads and buttons and several other things too!

Thanks for the help will look into those and see what I can come up with.

I forgot to say also the theme for this spring is going to be Spring (ok I know doh lol) and how it refreshes us. Its about discovering new things and renewing our Faith.

Thanks again for the help

Zoey, how about trying cross stitch? There are some lovely free charts here... http://www.lizziekate.com/free.html All in whole stitches so nice and easy and quick to do. Could easily convert one to a card. Would mean you'd be discovering a new thing...

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I already cross stitch and hate it lol, it takes too long
and is too fiddly.

I have many talents that I have tried, I was thinking maybe a layerd card. Might try to have a water fall garden back ground paper with a cross in front on sticky pads.

The boxer chipboard is fab isn't it, I just wish they had it in the other ranges too. I've just had an email from craft superstore to say that they have basic grey fibres on bogof - uh-oh! I think their postage is about 4 quid. I'm off to have a look in a minute.
