Getwell soon Mary xx keep your feet up and plenty of TLC ...Thanks Rainmac for letting us know and pass all our messages on
Flourgirl ...Lovely cards and very MSE I dont own scarps of paper my little nephew claims them all to do his "sticky's"
I love that blue paper on your DL card.

Ive decided to have a web site ..my sons going to build it so it wont cost me anything as he works for a company that supplies server time and domain names. I just need to come up with a name. I would like to inculde Saveapenny but make it something different as well without being to long...not asking for much...lol

Sunrise...Yes I do then I throw it away and then about a week later I find a use for it. I must be the only crafter that doesnt hord stuff
I like your water bottle card..Is it a brought embelishment or did you make it?

Hi Saveapenny - not sure what you'll be selling, guessing it will be your beautiful cards and nappycakes, so for a name how about something like -

Hello I only had an afternoon out and just look what you've all been up to while my back was turned......

Flourgirl - More lovely cards, the pretty blue one's my favourite -how do you find the time?

Mary43 - Sorry to hear you've been ill - hope you're soon feeling much better x

Rainmac - thanks for lettin us know

Jailhousebabe - My house will be spotless next week with no MSE to distract me - thanks for the warning - I'm not looking forward to it:eek: - Suppose if it's good weather I could garden......

Sunrise - good cards again like the playing cards best

Saveapenny - good luck with the website - can't think of any names for it though. I'll let you know if I think of anything.... Going to try PinkP in paint as you suggested to bunbun but not sure my version of paint is that sophisticated (or that I've understood what you meant)......

Melissa hope you feel better tomorrow

Marg I have only the basic paint that comes on the PC when you buy it
If you need help let me know
Its realy simple although I have probably made it sound complicated just remember it will only work with TIFF files it goes very patchy with JPEGS ..Once you get the colourr you want ..save the coloured one as Jpeg and then exit Paint and dont save ...that way your original will stay uncolured ready for the next time
Just use the icon that looks lke an eye dropper to pick up the colours on your swatch and then use the bucket to paint in the area you want...Have a play if you get struck give me a shout
CT it will only be cards

Ive just ordered the new Messy Rabbits CDs ( couldnt find them free on Picasa ) go it off ebay for £15 with free PP for a double CD ...cant wait to have a play with it

Look in poundland...you can get packs of 6 cards which come with embellishments, envelopes etc. Also you can get scrapbook sets with come with a few backing papers, which can often prove to be useful.

Hello, I've posted my card for the Creative Card Crew challenge for this week on my blog, this one...



Also got a couple of mini quote books on my blog that I've made for friend's birthdays.

Saveapenny, wow your own website, you should as you're so talented - you will be able to show the world what you can do!

Melissa - have you booked your appointment yet? So glad your Lo is feeling better, amazing what a few days of anti-biotics can do.

Thanks rainmac!

Love the card but especially love the little matchbooks! Did you find them somewhere at a good price as I know they can be dear, where did you get yours from?? The Wild Saffron bugs are gorgeous really love those! Are they chipboard?? Were they an ebay bargain??

Rainmac I love everything, they are gorgeous The BG papers are just fab:T

Sunrise Love both of your cards too.:T The hot water bottle is so cute, and the playing card one is a great card for men. I pinched the set of cards from one of the christmas crackers to do the same thing.

Saveapenny the blue paper is from K&Co 12x12 scrap. Good luck with your website.

Marg I findI have plenty of time since I retired (early). Now that I am selling them it means I have a bit of money to spend on more stash, without feeling guilty

Mary 43 is back on the scrapbook thread.
