CT 19720 I love that pyramid box it's so pretty:T

Hels love the paper you have used fro your pyramid box:T What a good idea putting jewellery in it.

Great Blogs everyone,:T I managed to open a google account and I'm following most of you, just need to check who I missed. Rainmac and Rusty do you have links to yours please?

Saveapenny sorry to hear your suffering with the toothache. My OH has had toothache on and off for the past year and his dentist cannot find anything wrong He has had allsorts of investigations. He is now thinking about asking to see someone else, as it's driving him mad. It's costing a fortune cos he has to pay everytime he goes and yet not getting it put right:mad:

we went to a craft shop yesterday and the lady had some beautiful cards for sale
they were very plain and simple and I loved the style
I have used her inspiration to try something new but why is it my plain and simple card looks as though it has something missing ???

maybe a silver box around it?

Hi Everyone,

I wondered if I could have some opinions on this card. Its for mothers day but I think its missing something but don't know what. Any suggestions welcome:D



Thank you
PS the ribbon isn't stuck down yet so I can change that no problem, except its the only pink and white ribbon I have

some gems in the bottom right corner, like 3 in a row?
