great news melissa, must be good to know what you're having so you can get things organized beforehand!

CT - that peachy coloured flower paper is lovely, where did you get it?

Does anyone who has made one of those triangle box cards have a link to a template or instructions by any chance?

I am loving everyones blogs have actually managed to make 2 cards this evening in between blog surfing :rotfl: will post pics sometime soon!

Hi Gemm,

I bought the pack of papers 12 x 12 (36 sheets) from the papermill shop a few weeks ago. Thought they were a bargain as they were only £4.99. They are are Dovercraft papers and the range is Eastern Blooms. Have to say that some of the papers are prettier than others. I have used a lot lately in birthday cards/thank you card that I have done - see my photobucket page if you want to see some of the other designs - http://s490.photobucket.com/albums/rr261/CT19720/

Not sure what to do with the papers that I don't like though!

thanks for that, I know what you mean about getting packs of papers and then not liking some of the designs! sometimes the layout of particular patterns can make it hard to look nice on a card too.

I am deffo gonna give one of those triangle boxes a try :T

I'll have a proper read of everyone's comments in a bit - I'm in a bit of a rush now, just off to m-i-l's house. I just wanted to tell you all that I had my second scan this morning - everything's fine, and guess what - I am having another boy!!!!! I'm going to have my work cut out - 3 boys and an OH that acts like a big kid!!!

:j Melissa you have my deepest sympathy :rotfl:

Being a mum to 3 boys and my OH ...Its hard work... being outnumbered on games consoles and not having any girly things to do :rolleyes:



Ok on a more serious note :j Congratulations another little boy ..How exciting

If you don't want to use the papers you could always try and sell them on ebay, lots of people will buy part packs of paper/card
