ZLS your card toppers are lovely.
Everytime I come on here there are so many gorgeous cards!!

I picked some crafty bits up today didn't really want to spend as much as I did but I just couldn't resist, I treated myself to the Forever Friends Decoupage Card set and a 4 in 1 border and circle punch thing, it was £9.99 my OH thought I was nuts, thing is I can't figure out how it works so while he nips out for his afternoon pint I'm going to have a go!!

ZL - reading your post reminded me -last year I cut out some chocolate eggs from the Sunday magazine -was too late for last years Easter cards but I'll look them out for this year otherwise I'll forget I've got them.
They had a page full of decorated chocolate eggs.........thought I might do a felt egg cup to stick just below............something like that anyway.
Definitely worth scouring the magazines for stuff :j

Thank you friends for your kind comments about my card.
Melissa - I don't think she realised it was a hand made card but by my face she surely knew I wasn't happy!
Furrypig - any room in your case? I'd love to be going to US - hope you have a fab time! That said, I'd much rather be crafting than packing.
ZLS1984 - I love the peek a boo card too I might even have a go at one.
Saveapenny - I do hope you are feeling much better now & are looking less like your passport!!!:rotfl:

Hi all ~ a newbie here. Have just started making my own cards, here is one I've done. Sorry the file is so big I don't know how to reduce the size.



I used card toppers and printed the "Happy Birthday" and attached with foam pads.

All your cards are fab, I hope I can make cards one day as well as you all xx

And one more....



And this is a Valentine's Card I've done... the card for these 2 cards is sparkly card from the paper mill ~ fab shop!!




Next time I'll take a pic before I put into celophane bags.....:rotfl:
