Rainmac - I hope you're feeling better. Sounds like you'll have a fab day tomorrow - I'm jealous! I love your peek-a-boo box - its so pretty.

Minimacka - I might attempt one of your cards tonight while the OH is out, trouble is I have a house full of three noisy boys!

Here's my peek-a-boo card for OH for Valentine's Day...







I bought a set of ready cut and scored boxes (£2.50 for 5) and then used papers with this month's Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine, a few buttons, paper flowers, ribbon and a red felt tip pen!

Have part done my male card for the challenge but I don't think I'll be able to get it finished until Monday.

:T Well done Rainmac - it is really beautiful I hope you OH likes it.

minimacka - WOW There's nothing more to say

rainmac - love your box Hope you feel better by tomorrow, sounds like a lovely morning out. I get so jealous hearing of these great places people get to visit - we don't have anything like that near me (that I know of). All we have is Hobbycraft (expensive) and the Range (very limited selection).

Wow fantastic cards everyone, I still look in but the thread moves so fast I hardly post lol ... Minimacka could you do me a favour please ... could you take a picture of the book flat or does it not go flat? I think it looks fantastic!

Rainmac, wow your box is lovely! I love it! ... hope you feel a bit better soon, toys are a nightmare, I am always tripping over them! Where is this crafty place you are going? you say about 20 miles to I am thinking milton keyes somewhere? or I could be wrong and it could be 20 miles north!

Mary like I said before it looks a lot more complicated than it actually is. Once you have mastered the folding then you are away, you just need to decorate it. If you want any help or even a template to copy then pm me and i will help you.

It's this place, in Rushden which is sort of east of me I think?

They do deliver products for free but think it's only locally and they don't have a webshop unfortunately.
