Jailhouse - your card is fab, love the papers

Such fab cards on all your blogs, hope I've left comments on everyone's.

I've added a card to my blog for the Creative Card Crew texture challenge - here. I used a set of ultra cheapie die-cut shapes from Craftwork Cards, may try another card with them for our challenge...? Have received my Creative Craft World order today, so beutifully wrapped in tissue paper, so lovely! So am in receipt of Laura Ashley Wild Blossom bits - completely gorgeous papers, going to have to make something with them this week. As I got 30% off and free p&p could I include a card using this for our challenge? Or am I missing the point of the challenge

I'm such a wally, the papers are Dovecraft not Laura Ashey :rolleyes: Still blooming gorgeous though

Love your Christening card Gangstabird, just off to look on the blogs mentioned...

Hels...yes ..the handbag one is the card pack " blossoms and butterflies" from DCVW http://www.craft4creation.co.uk/eMerchantPro/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=209&idproduct=3192
The other pad is Retro DCWV http://www.toptoppershop.co.uk/dcwv-retro-prints-paper-stack-1459-p.asp

Flourgirl - fab cards on your blog, posted msg on there.

Melissa - what can I say, your book is so beautiful (the gems are perfect), are you going to make books for everyone now for pressies?

Everyone's been busy - have commented on blogs

I've just had to email a company about an order gone astray. I placed the order on February 16th, they posted it on March 11th (even though everything was in stock when I ordered ), and it still hasn't arrived

Rainmac - yep, I think everyone will be getting a little notebook now!! If I get the chance I might make one to give away with this fortnight's challenge prize!
Bunbun - i used some index cards for the pages, I had to cut them down though as they had holes in them. I might give it to my Mum. I hope my stuff comes tomorrow.

Jailhousebabe how annoying, I've been lucky so far with all of my crafty orders - everything has always turned up.

Ok here's my card for this week's thrifty challenge... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/2009/04/mse-thrifty-challenge-card.html. My card comes in at 34p which I don't think is too bad as the card is a fair size but no where near as MSE as Jailhouse's fab 6p card

I really like it and have kept it quite minimal which has kept the cost down. I used stuff that I'd bought in the Creative Craft World 30% off offer and free p&p and the Craftwork Cards bits came with cheap p&p.

Mel - the blue stuff on my Creative Card Crew challenge was from a sale pack from Craftwork Cards, also came in a peach/mango colour and lilac I think? Well, well, well worth 50p!

Thanks bunbun, I like it too, plainish but pretty I think.
