    If you are thinking of getting any storage, these Really Useful Boxes are brilliant, the 7 litre box holds 12" x 12" papers nice and flat even with the edgy bits that you get on some of the more expensive papers. Can't recommend them highly enough especially if you get them at www.storage4crafts.co.uk as they have 10% off at the moment.

    Happy Birthday Melissa - hope you have a wonderful day and get thoroughly spoilt.

    Fab cards as always from everyone. Haven't been around much as we took the kids to Alton Towers for a few days and since coming back I have been busy making my friends wedding invites for her - square gatefold hammer white cards. I dropped all 60 of them off to her yesterday, and she loves them yay :D. She still has to add the wording to the inside, and cut a 'fork' in each end of the ribbon. Although the paper on the inside doesn't seem to match the colour of the ribbon, in real life it isn't too far out:

    Have to say that I really enjoyed doing them, and because the design was so simple it was easier to do than I thought it would be. She gave me a huge buch of flowers, bottle of wine and chocolates as a thankyou so I am really chuffed.

    Have also made these two cards up, and need to get my fingure out and made a 'golf' themed one for next week - i'll post it up when I get around to doing it.

    Must get around to doing a blog sometime, when I get a minute.
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    Ladies can I ask the best way to make a Tigger card~?

    It is for DD's 2nd birthday and I love the number cards which I saw on here yesterday, I was thinking I might be able to make something similar but with tigger or Pooh? she prefers Tigger though ... would my best bet be printing some pictures off google and sticking them on? I can print straight onto card if that makes a difference. Also where could I get some orange glittery card? or am I asking daft questions?


    Lovely cards everyone, I haven't commented on blogs but I will do soon I promise :)
