Rainmac - glad you liked it!

Furrypig - I had the order send to my Mum's so I don't know if its turned up yet. But I think it was only yesterday that I got an email from them saying that it had been posted. I have never ordered from them before - but they seem to take a while to deliver!

rainmac - what beautiful cards:T

melissa - you do have an artistic flair for this sort of thing (turns several shades of green..............!):rotfl:

Ahhh - bless you Mary, Rainmac always jokes about my obsession with K and Co stuff, so I made the card with their products!

melissa - no getting away from it...........those papers are really pretty.
Think I saw a link somewhere to an accordian scrapbook that was K & Co - really good price as well but wasn't quite sure what an accordian scrapbook was...............lol

Hello everyone:j I haven't read through this post although diped in and out now and again:D I have just been writing poems for inserts in a friends Christmas cards and have just written one for a little boy of 2 1/2 I thought that it might be helpful for someone Please feel free to use for personal use Oh and happy Christmas crafting :j

Father Christmas has been checking his list

Now has Alfie been naughty or nice?

Well that’s easy he thinks for once

I won’t have to check this one twice

For Alfie you are such a good boy

In fact you are top of the list

I told Father Christmas that he should bring…

…Everything that you wish

No Christmas tree nor fairy lights

Can light up a room as you do

I wish you a magical Christmas Alfie

And happiness the New Year through

CT19720 - Beautiful cards I really like them all.:T :T

Rainmac - Your friends have made some beautiful cards (Melissa - its great:T ). Did your other friend use a cuttlebug or something to get the letters?

I am going to Dublin for the weekend with four friends. I am hoping to find a nice little craft shop to spend my money in while we are there. If I haven't spent it all on drink:rotfl::beer: :rotfl:
Is anyone setting a challenge next week or are we getting too close to christmas?????

Enjoy Dublin abusybee, don't spend too much

I'm not sure how the letters are done, maybe cut with a craft knife as I don't think she has a die-cut machine and if she has, why hasn't she leant it to meeeeee

Oh forgot to say I'm happy to go without challenges for now as Xmas is fast approaching and after posting on the new Organised Xmas thread I realise I am nowhere near as sorted as I thought I was!?!

You can make your own letter templates. In word, type the letters you want then resize them to how big you want them. With all the free font downloads, you can have all different styles too.
