Just to let everyone know that I have discovered the templates for the cat, dog and cow cards on Papercraft Inspirations site, there are some other great templates on there too.

funnily enough I was just looking through my old issues of Papercraft Inspirations trying to get some inspirations and spotted them. melissa you have probably got them too cos they were the special offer ones!!

Hi, This card is on the theme of water, but it's not for the challenge - its just for amusement value! I found this card that I made card about 15 years ago when I was going out with my boyfriend (now my hubby):

I obviously didn't think much of my appearance, look at the way I saw myself! :eek::D

Don't get to do much cartooning these days - but would love to design my own range of rubber stamps!

Hi ladies, I'm in work to do a bit of catch up work so have taken the opportunity to get online to visit you all.
First I want to send big hugs and prayers to Saveapenny, I hope that little Harry and your daughter are on the mend and that all will turn out well. You are such a lovely person and do so much to help to newbies on here!

Flourgirl- I hope you're having a lovely holiday and the weather stays nice for you! Goodluck with the bike ride!

Pinkladymel- your creations always take my breath away- they are so beautiful!

Sorry i don't have time to mention everyone by name but I am really impressed by all the cards on here, I'm looking forward to finishing work and having a go myself tonight.

I was tidying my craft room and discovered a set of Christmas templates also from Papercraft Inspirations... was thinking is it too soon to start on a batch of Christmas cards?

I don`t send that many out but want to make really special ones for friends and family... I`m thinking of doing Bookatrix for my sister and SIL with little cute angels and some poinsetta and berry ones for my Mum and MIL keeping in with the natural Christmas theme I have planned for this year.
The other cards will be for friends, family and work colleagues so want to try a replicate a good design - maybe little Santas with moveable arms and legs or a quick Christmas sketch design of my own....
