    Princesspoppypop - Wow ! What a brilliant card - I love it !! :T
    I am hopeless at making children's cards. My son who is nearly three has just seen it and is now running around the room saying "Woof - Woof" :D

    Just wanted to share that I got myself some craft tweezers in tesco for £1.99 and I don't know how I got on without them!! They really make life much easier.

    Also, I've added quite a few cards to my blog. :)

    great cards on your blog :T love the receipe card one, such a nice way of displaying a receipe, not like mine on scraps of paper with ingredients all over them where i've spilt stuff in the past :rotfl:

    I always think that if a recipe has splats all over it it means it's a yummy one bc it's obviously well used :)

    Gemm this is a pink petticoat download and i made this and some others for a card exchange I am in. Our theme this month was fairies and I found a poem about bedtime fairies and based the card around this idea. I thought a black card might be too much so I did the negative and coloured the leaves with chalk. I'll try and get the fairy image up.
