Rainmac- glad you survived the birthday party Hopefully your boys will be shattered and go to bed early tonight :rotfl:
Your easter card is lovely :j and thank you for the post about that issue of cross stitch crazy, I managed to track it down but haven't had a chance to try doing them yet :T

Glad you survived the party rainmac, It's amazing how late kids can stay up at night and still wake up really early the next morning:mad: Just when you fancy a lay in yourself.

Hope everyone has had a nice Mother's Day and you all got lots of flowers and chocolates.

Just made 2 cards today from the Pink Petticoat images and posted them on my new blog.

flourgirl - they're lovely :j

Can I ask for some help please - does anyone have any 'New Home' cards on their blog ? I need to make one for a couple of weeks time BUT its for someone elderly who is leaving their home to go into a flat. Any ideas, as all the cards I've found have houses on them ?
Thank you

Hi Skiergirl - I've got a few images that might be helpful - I could email them if you pm me your email address. Some ideas might be:
-a letterbox with a cute hedgehog pushing a letter through
-a photo of a jug with flowers
-a front door (image I have has flowers round the door though)
-a packing box with china & straw
-a pic of a gift box with words like 'happy new home' instead of ribbons
suppose it depends how elderly if they appreciate 'cute'.

Flourgirl your cards are really pretty - think I'll have to take the plunge & get some pink petticoat stuff.
Rainmac - wish my eyesight was better so I could cross stitch - I used to like doing it - Love your Easter card
Dragonllew - I got those images too - your cards look great - inspired me.

Hi Furrypig - I think further back Polly said it was ok to enter without a blog just to email her with your design & she'd enter it - no idea what her email addy is though.......could you pm her?

Thank you for the lovely comments ladies The cards were from the NEC, but you can buy them online from the seller... http://www.craftworkcards.co.uk/embellishments_list.asp?type=emb&embellishment=171
The cards I bought were 50 for £5 including envelopes, code: B2BSC5W. They also sell a larger size but were out of stock at the show otherwise I think both me and mel would have bought those too

Flourgirl, love your Pink Petticoat cards, they are so pretty :T

Thanks for the link rainmac, I will probably order some of those, postage is a bit steep tho £3,95 so will need to have a good look and see if there is anything else I need..........want...;)
