Moyilla -welcome to the thread - crikey 70 thank you cards!!!! I tend to order from loads of different sites - whatever has the best offers on at the time. I use the site ukscrappers as the_wife says and check it every day for promotions and discounts!
Hamish222 - what a lovely, generous offer!

Furrypig - fantastic cards - my favourite is the flower one - I love the little butterfly.

Sunrise - great "tactile" cards - you must feel so proud when you make something special like those for people who trouble with their eyesight.
Kim-possible - lovely baby card.
Princesspoppypop - fantastic bookatrix card - lovely colours!
Loopylass - I've just recently bought a baby stamp from craftsulove - it was 2 quid and I think its still free postage at their site 'til midnight tonight, I'll post a link in a bit.

Sorry - this is my last post now (I promise) - I wondered if anyone had thought of a challenge for this fortnight??

melissa75_2

No - I lied - I'm back - loopylass here's the link for the stamp, and the free postage offers tonight at midnight:

RE the new challenge, I've been racking my brains and can't seem to come up with anything good (plus I forgot that the new one was starting today anyway lol)

I think rainmac suggested a few posts ago about a shape theme, circles or squares etc, seems like a good idea to me, I'm pretty much up for anything though

Maybe it should be up to the winner of the Credit Crunch challenge to set the new one as a booby prize for winning :rotfl:

Gemm - sounds like a good idea - a booby prize - but I think I'd feel a bit mean!!!! I mus write down the names of the entries now - I've got to trawl through a fortnight's threads as I forgot to write down the entries as I went along - aaahhhhh!

Here is a make from today- its a cute ted with moveable arms and legs.

I was quite pleased with it until I painted the little nose on and now I`m :mad: with myself! Its a right pain painting on crimped card! I`m going to use some felt for the nose and sew the bottom bit on the next one I make as I`m sure this will make it neater!

The flowers are punchies and the background is lilac pearlised paper which I embossed using my bloom embossing folder.

The teddy I`m also going to make into book marks for a Teddy Bears picnic in the Summer.

Great teddy was it a template?
I ordered from the craft link above :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rotfl::rotfl:
Also was the dog a template from the earlier posting?
New to this crafting and finding i just cant stop looking at tools/ crafts! I find stamps v expensive- i rekon someone should start a stamp rental- just like dvds!
Also can i ask with downloads what if the card is too thick to go through printer?

I have managed a bookatrix card using the template from saveapenny i am so happy as I didnt know what to do for my niece's holy communion. The trimming around the edges is not very good but i didnt notice untill it was too late.
