Sounds like a great idea Polly, I will try to join in, (you know how useless I am).
Rusty Flange - so glad you're back, I used to love seeing your scrapbook pages!0 -
LJM - yeah, another K and Co addict. I ordered loads of papers for myself for xmas, (and I mean loads), and I've got loads of stickers, chipboard, tags and ribbons in the same ranges from ebay over the last few months.
Cgcockcroft - a fantastic range of cards, you really put me to shame, I am so crap at the minute at making anything. This comment really made me giggle: "card for husband's cousin- don't really know him".
Phuckles - card making/ scrapbooking is all that I spend my money on at the minute, I'm not bothered about cothes - I look like a tramp - I just want more nice papers! I am about to spend another 20 quid on stuff, oh well, there's worse stuff that I could spend my money on!
hehe you sound just like me:rotfl:
CG fab cards they are great:xmastree:Is loving life right now,yes I am a soppy fool who believes in the simple things in life :xmastree:0 -
LJM - what's your favourite range, I think mine is the wild saffron at the minute, although I've just done a layout with the blue awning papers?0

Ohhh, I love the K&Co Wild Saffron range - really beautiful :T In fact I think I love all things K&Co

I may be able to join in a challenge this week, thanks for asking us Polly

Rainmac - the embellishments on your card were wild saffron! I lurve the papers, I'm trying to do a layout with them at the minute. I always find it hard making cards though with scrappbooking papers and embellishments - I don't know why!0

I love looking at and buying K&Co stuff but find it hard using it as I don't want to cut up the paper or give any of the nice bits away

I just posted a very similar post on the thrifty gifty thread as that's my excuse for not having started scrapbooking as i don't want to cut my lovely 12 x 12 K & Co papers!!!0 -
Furrypig/Rainmac - I am exactly the same. Some of the papers I've got I bought two of, so that if I give one away I have one left for me!0

Polly thanks for offering a challenge I will try my hardest to actually do it and post it on here, it might give me a kick up the **** in the right direction and it is my new year resolution not to buy any cards this year!0
