There you go Eskimette, welcome to the thread. I have had a look at your cards, they are lovely :T so glad you have decided to join us. I think you will find everyone on here a little bit wacky but very helpful and very kind and generous. Hope you will join in with our challenges as I like seeing other peoples interpretations of the themes.

hink I will go and sign up to [STRIKE]stalk[/STRIKE]follow your blog.:D

Thankyou, one of the cards on my blog was made for a previous challenge on here (the pink one with the cat on) but was too scared to post it!

So we are nearing the end of the Water Challenge and it's been great hasn't it, loads of different ideas and takes on the topic 'Water'.

How about a colout theme for the next challenge, how about GREEN?(Melissa, you inspired this one with your new DCWV papers ). So anything goes so long as your main colour on your card is green

What do you think?

This isn't a card but I've just fiinished a cross stitch picture for my mum's birthday....



I did a DIY framing job with an Ikea frame/mount and some fabric wadding behind the stitching so it sticks out ever so slightly. The colours are slightly deeper in the flesh than the pic shows. I wanted to make something special as she's had one hell of a year but didn't want to go over the top. Hope she likes it. Only 3 more days of radiotherapy to go and then she's finished the course.
