Flourgirl love the cards (you must be v parient to do all the pricking and sewing!!) also the link to the little boxes is great your lones look lovely and I'm sure these could be used for easter treats!

CT your cupcake card is so fab!! I really want to make a load of them and now I'm home I'm gonna get out my stash and see what I have to help me!! What did you make the 'sprinkles' with?? Are they mini brads??

Dragonflew lovely cards and well done on attempting the challenge I haven't even started yet!! I hope I have another week or I'm gonna have a very late entry!

i have a new home card, hubby bday card, 2 thank you cards and a 2nd bday card to make this week so hope to use the challenge card for one of these!

Ok this is my challenge card, as I said before it does not have the little bits of paper at the bottom as I am hoping to put some words there. The vicar's wife at church broke her arm on the ice and I just found out today so I though a nice card would be good for her.

Thanks. It was relatively easy to do, and I just used mini brads for the 'sprinkles' 3mm pastel ones. Still struggling to find anything to make the cherry on top though, as the mini brads are all I have and don't have a red one or any other embellishments that would do, so think I am going to have to leave it as it is.

Can't wait to see what yours looks like. Good luck with all the cards you have to make this week - look forward to seeing them.


Well done ZLS, a very pretty card, and I am sure the Vicar's wife will be touched that you have made it for her.

Thanks for the nice comment I might try another card 2moz just looking at styles that I want to try.

CT I cut a circle out of card and coloured it in for the cherry on top.

ZLS - great card. I like the butterfly.

CT19720 - could you use a little red pom pom for the cherry? I've seen packs of pom poms that are quite cheap somewhere.

Fantastic cards everyone, and soooo many to look at. They are all fabulous:T :T :T :T :T :T :T

Welcome to all who have just joined us.

Marg - Hope you are feeling better for your holiday and have a good time. I always need a holiday to get over my holiday:rotfl: :rotfl:

ZLS - Hope your daughter is back to her old self soon

Furrypig - Welcome back. Did you get many bargins???? (Forgive me if you have already said. I have read all previous posts but sometimes what I have read just dosent sink in:o )

I will get my challenge card done this week as the kids will be back at school so I will have plenty of 'me' time without the kids picking up each piece of my craft stuff as asking "whats this for mummy?" turning making a 10 minute card into an hour long process. You have to love them for their interest. I would make more with them but my youngest has a bad habit of nudging me just when I am trying to stick something crutial down. I'm sure he will grow out of it. lol
