Can I sked how you made the "thank you" tag? TIA

Hi Kim, it's a die cut from a pack of die-cut sheets that have laods of different tags and messages to pop out, made by Anita's. I got it from my local craft shop in a pack of 5 sheets, each one with a different theme, (birthday, thanks, love etc)

hope this helps

Edit: have just found a link to them so you can see what they are https://www.craftsuperstore.co.uk/Crafts/Card-Toppers/Birthdays/sc1214/p8693.aspx

Thank you gemm - it's one of the free stickers on the current do crafts creativity magazine that had Daisy and Dandelion free on it.

Have never tried rub ons - is that an excuse to shop?

Engagement card cobbled together but I'd be very interested if someone found some templates in the future. I was thinking of cutting out the glass in metallic/pearlescent paper with gold shimmer paper for the champers itself. Would make a nice simple cheap card. What do you think?

Enagagment card I have made is on the old blog

thanks for all your comments on my card

jailhouse - I got straight onto crafting as soon as i walked through the door and opened the post, the layout is pretty basic really so it didnt take me too long to put together, the hardest part was deciding which of the gorge papers to use! hope you had a good time at dog training, do you have a new puppy?

Hope you don't mind me snipping your post

Not a puppy - a 6 year old greyhound. He's a monster, very big and always looking for a fight. We've only had him for 3 weeks or so - the last woman who had him for 3 years kept him locked in a utility room and never walked him. The rescue centre ended up taking him back. He would have retired quite early from racing and he's quite cute really
Training was a waste of time; a 45 minute drive each way (as she specialises in rescue greyhounds) and then nearly 2 hours just sitting at the side of the room watching other dogs do their thing. With about 25-30 dogs there, I think it was a bit much for her really. Oh well, sorry for the rant; only got home 20 minutes ago and now I'm going to bed!

Oh, one more thing - it sounds as though I'm not the only one who appreciates cardmaking as a therapeutic way of dealing with life!
