I'm loving all these pram cards (no, I'm not broody, lol). Love the backing paper on yours marg.

Great cards mumhug - I really like the ones with the cars on. I struggle for ideas for 'male' cards, all my cards seem to have flowers, butterflies and/or bows on. It's lovely to be able to look at other peoples cards

Hi Saveapenny - it's some 'craft lace border' that I got in a pack ages ago from Lakeland Plastics when they used to do craft stuff. They've stopped doing craft stuff now so it's not as much fun going there.

It's only the second time I've used it!!:rotfl: Looking what it is to tell you properly I've just noticed that it's peel 'n' stick & I glued it on the pram! I can send you some if you'd like a piece - don't think I'll ever use it all.

Thanks Marg..I am after some sticky lace but I can only find paper stuff and at nearly £4 a roll it seems expensive
Thank you for the offer but I dont want to take your stuff off you just incase you need it again

Hey guy's I was in Wilkinsons today and they have some very good craft bargins. I got a set of 3 stampers for £1, they are only simple stamps but they are good for now. Plus I got a set of 4 ink pads for a £1, they are small ink pads but will do the job. I found these down where they do all the crafts stuff by the kids crafts. They have other bargins as well but I could not get no more as did not have the money :-(

are you sure Mumhug..thats just what im after..I would love it but again I dont want to take stuff you might use

Here's a pic of mine so you can choose? How much do you need?

Not sure how sticky it will be as it's a bit old but you're welcome.

I've been searching for ages for some self adhesive plastic lace about 2 or 3" wide to use as shelf edging in my larder cupboard but can't find it anywhere. Another thing Lakeland Plastics used to sell GRRRR.:mad: I even wrote to a lady on ebay who does plastic lace tablecloths but she couldn't help so I have some bits of that if it helps.

Hi Marg, can you please let me know how you get such small photos, which enable you to click on them and you get taken to your photobucket?

I have real problems with the size of my photos posted on here, some a really big despite resizing them.

Thanks

Marg...thast very kind of you I love the second and third ones..is it paper? i looks lovely
If you dont mind I would love a piece of it to try before I splash out on a set
I never thought about using a plastic lace tablecloth but I suppose it would work and would get loads out of it...I will look on the market next week
Square paper doilies would work as wel if you have seen any of those

I only need about 5 or 6 inches max...just enough to edge some matting on a card

whats the name of it and I can search on ebay
