Great cards on blogs everyone.

Melissa glad to hear that you are feeling better.

Sorry to hear about your tooth Gemm85, glad you have been able to sort it out so quickly.

Sunrise, great news about more invites to make from the craft fair.

With the OH away for the night and the kids in bed, just spent 2 hours making cards. My DS2 is 6 on Friday so needed to do one for him - like his brother he is a massive Chelsea fan so had to come up with a different idea for him. I was very MS in that the picture of the chelsea logo is just cut out from the wallpaper board that we have left over from doing DS1 bedroom a few weeks back. Hope he likes it.

The other 3 are Easter cards, that were made out of 'scrap' sizes of cards I had. Thanks for the the tip Saveapenny about colouring in the Pink Petticoat free downloadables, the instructions you posted up worked a treat.







Not sure I like the bigger easter card - think it is missing something, but not sure what, but do really like the smaller ones.

Just spotted this

www.craftisland.co.uk have a 40% off this weekend. I know I need something but I just can't remember what it is, perhaps if I had a little peek I might see it.

Whoops! Got carried away there it's 40% off paper packs

Note to self: no more paper packs, woman. Use the one's you've got, like the Laura Ashley, Forever Friends, Dovecraft etc etc etc.

CT perhaps a little bit of ribbon down the side or across the top. I found this really helpful as I'd always wondered how it was done.

I have made these today, they are quick and simple. Using patterned papers, scraps of card and peel offs. I find these a quick standby when you have little inspiration but need a card. You can also use up your bits and bobs, so very mse :-)

Hi Flourgirl

These are beautiful cards, I particularly like the fishing one, can you tell me where the paper came from please??

Thanks

CT - I love those cards. I think the big one is my favourite, I love the colours you've used.
Gemma - great card. I've left a comment on your blog; for some reason that's the only blog that I've been able to comment on.
Melissa - I've been trying since yesterday to comment on your blog! Sorry still haven't managed to get it to work. The cards are lovely (as always).

I've just made a card for DD's friend and was about to update my blog - then realised that DD has taken the camera to the zoo with her :rolleyes: Oh well, maybe later.

Hello
Saveapenny Great new cards - love the scallops! I'm busy searching for a 'Threading water' punch and hope to order some scalloped cards too. I'm glad to say that I've also managed to colour some little birds with Paint. Thank you!:T for instructions.

CT19720 Lovely spring like cards & 'footy' one even though Chelsea isn't my favourite team!

Gemma85 - so sorry to hear about your tooth -hope you thought 'nice' thoughts in the chair!

I'm having trouble 'selecting' just part of the 'Paint' page as the images are too big on my screen - it must be something dead obvious but I can't work it out? If I select the whole screen I only get part of what I want. Have you any idea what I'm doing wrong - or not doing right?
