Polly...your cards lovely and hope your feeling better

Minimacka..sounds like you had a good weekend

Marg...thank you xx

Polly...how about a sketch chalenge? Im sure I can find a good one
For anyone that doesnt know what it is ...you get a basic layout of a card design and then you use whatever you want to make the card but they all have to be based ont he same sketch

I thought I'd better hurry up and post some pictures of my pink challenge card seeing as though I set the challenge. I made it for my neice, it was her birthday last Sunday. Her Nan loved it, but my neice was too busy running around to notice it. I was contemplating asking for it back if they were going to throw it in the bin as I used quite a few flowers on it that could be recycled, but I didn't dare.
This is the front:

and the insides:



I was a bit disappointed with it beacause it was a bit plain, but I was just glad that I managed to get it done. It was a lot of work sticking it together though!

Saveapenny - a sketkch challenge sounds like a great idea, I have noticed on a lot of people's blogs that have been given sketches to work with. I know Polly is given them a lot as part of her design teams work.
Sandy2 - welcome, and thanks for the advice!
Minimacka - I'm not surprised your book card went down well - it was fabulous!
Polly - you are most welcome, I'm glad to hear you're feeling a bit better!

Hi Saveapenny,

Do you have an example of what a sketch card is - from your description think it is beyond me, but would like to see an example.

Thanks

melissa that is beautiful and not plain at all. you should be very proud of it:T

CT I too would like to see an example of a sketch card - it sounds complicated!
