hels, what lovely cards, somehow they popped in before my last post so i didn't notice them straightaway. There's no need to be embarrassed, they are fab! really professional I think!

I can't wait to see the papers you have brought Saveapenny.

I had a go at two teabag designs and think they're ok, bit big for a card though unfortunately. I have been scrouring the net and found some cute cartoons to perk up my cards. I'll be busy for the next few of evenings but will have a good play this weekend and try to show you my efforts.

Playing catch up as always, beautiful cards as they always are.
Haven't done any crafting in days, must get my finger out as I have some bits to do for a rugby do.
Been spring cleaning for days(I know! I shouldn't swear on here)LOL
Think a gallon of petrol and a match might be quicker:o
Hope you're all well and as creative as ever.

Been busy as I ended up with 4 mothers day cards to make so here are some of them.



this exploding box is for my mum and will probably end up being my challenge card. Sorry pics not great you can't see all of it.



this is my attempt at the pop up card so thank you very much for the link

Here is my pocket card for the challenge. I got so frustrated with trying to make tags, that I have abandoned them. Not perfect, but as I have been working on this for a little while, it will have to do.





Mumhug, beautiful cards - did you find the pop up card difficult to do? I looked at the link that dragonllew posted but thought it looked very complicated, but would love to have a go. Any tips making one gratefully received.

Well done to all those you have posted pictures of their cards up recently - they are all fab. RustyFlange, did you make yours from a template, and if so where can I find it. Thanks
