Sorry I haven't been posting much - I've been feeling really rough!! I can't seem to shake this stupid cough and cold, I had to take my youngest to the doctors today - he's got a chest infection as well!!
Thewife - I bought some of the laura ashley papers too, the traditional ones, and I've never used them!!
Npsmama - thanks for the info!
Sunrise - lovely card!

Went to slimming this morning, I had gained 1/2lb :-( so having just been to tescos I am sitting here with a cup of tea and a packet of Blue Ribands, only 99 calories each, trouble is there are 9 in the packet :rotfl:

Called at Stephen Smiths on the way home to look at the craft stuff, need things for mens cards, didn't buy anything as the prices seem astronomical :eek: I think it's cheaper to buy online and pay the postage.

Great cards sheginch,:T I made a mothers day card similar to yours with the ice cream images from Pink Petticoat.

CT19720 The barn dance card you made was fantastic:T I was just thinking about copying that idea from you. How did you resize Wordle? Once I have that cracked I think it will be very useful for any man cards. Was thinking makes of cars, football teams or players, golf, musical instruments etc. What do you think?

Marg Hope you have better luck with your easter cards, there are a few easter paper downloads free on this site, might be of some use to you

Scroll down nearly to the bottom of the page, there are some mens papers on there too

Bunbun- I haven't bothered going to the doctor myself, its such a pain being sick 'cos I can only take paracetamol.
There's a few reductions at gorilla crafts, postage is 2.85, there's some good deals on 12x12 paper - I picked up some basic grey baby boy papers for 30p each. The best bargains are on the bazzill 12x12 cardstock - 20p a sheet. here's a link:

Hope you like this one I made for my daughter. She loves polka dots!

the wife I love your card:T is that a stamp?

melissa sorry I forgot you can't take any medication.

I have been looking at the craft superstore website and my list is huge - thanks to whoever said there was a sale on! I am going to have to have another look and scale it down a bit - but the packs of papers are so cheap:rotfl: there is also a quickutz squeeze on there which puts the total up!

The-wife, beautiful card - everything looks perfect together - what did you use to do the edging on the card?
Bunbun - its such a pain - I mean I can't even have a lemsip without checking with the doctor first!! If postage is high on a site like the craft superstore I feel like I have to spend loads just to make up for it.

I think I have done that melissa what's worse though is when you think "only £x more to get free delivery"!
