Flourgirl they are lovely...Too much pink petticoat stuff and not enough money
I did one of the Sundae ones and then used another play on words
" Have a Great Mothering Sundae" again I just thought it was something different
Im waiting now to get the Lola Rose occasions

I just didn't know which to get, it was a hard decision wish I could have afforded them all. Didn't fancy bread and jam for the rest of the month:rotfl:
Love your play on words...
"Have a Great Mothering Sundae" Brilliant:T might pinch that:D I liked the other one "You're one in a Melon"

I have just done a very quick scrapbook page with my BG papers
I will post a picture tomorrow

Thanks for the link to Pink Petticoat

Mothering Sundae, very clever!

Looking forward to finding out how your nappy cake empire develops. Your cake in the photo is stunning so you should do brilliantly

Flourgirl - love your ice cream cards :T

This isn't a card for the challenge but thought I'd share as I really liked making it as it was something new for me to do...



I used a stitching template from Papermania for the flowers and curved line down the right hand side and 2 threads of DMC embroidery thread to stitch. I cut along the curved line (not very well ). I backed the inside of the card with a piece of brown scrapbooking paper, colour side down, and cut it to the size of the card so you can see a piece of the brown paper at the front - does that make sense? It's for the MIL, hope she likes it (probably won't but we can but try to be a good DIL ).

Gorgeous card Rainmac - I love the stitching!! I tried once but used this really thin thread and it looked really rubbish 'cos you couldn't see it, I'll have to have a go now with my dmc threads.

I tried a bit of stitching on my square around card for my mum but used the cheap thread that came with the Papermania templates and it looked ok but this looks better I think
