A lovely card Kim
How many of us have done the pram now, and I still love every one of them! I really like the glittery paper you've used.

wow fantastic blog candy offer hamish, I've added your link and pic to my blog!

jailhouse to add a pic to your sidebar, go to your blog dashboard and click Layout, then when you are on the page that says Add and arrange page elements, click Add a Gadget on the right hand side and in the pop up box select Picture. Then in the next box, add a Title and browse to the image which you'll have saved to your PC somewhere previously. Hope this helps but any more probs just shout and i'll do my best to assist

oh and just read your latest blog post...AFAIK you can only have one sidebar on your blog, either left or right, but if you want to change it you can click and drag the boxes around on the Add and Arrange page elements section

Thanks Gemma, I finally managed it! Expect to see a loooooong list of candy links

Kim_possible -lovely baby card. I really like the sparkly card too and the layering on the hood.
Jailhousebabe - great challenge card. The butterfly is so pretty and I love the green flowers.
Furrypig - I can't see your card - it says instead that the image has been moved or deleted????
Hels - that is a good price for the tape runner - I think xyron is a decent make too!
Apologies to everyone as I haven't caught up with everyone's blogs yet, I promise I will soon.

Furry Love your frog card:T and the sentiment Hoppy Birthday:D
The water challenge doesn't end until tonight so you are well in time.

Hels102 WOW!! what a bargain, I'm sure the xyron runners are usually £2ish, I have never heard of Buyology shops, will be one to look out for.

Jailhouse Fab card for the new challenge. Beautiful butterfly. Everything co-ordinates perfectly:T

Kim gorgeous baby card and beautifully put together:T

I must go and have a look at doing the blog candy link, it looks an excellent prize:D

Hels - great purple card, those mulberry papers look fab

Jailhouse, Fab green challenge card, I love how you've combined 2 of those wild blossom papers and layered them up Glad you've managed to add the candies to your sidebar, I will have to keep looking at your blog to see what candies I should enter lol :rotfl:

I got the creativity mag this month as well as those clear stamps look so useful, and the mag is only £2 which is a lot cheaper than some others out there.

Kim - your pram cars is beautiful, that blue glitter card looks so pretty, well done

Thanks, yes the pram was from the time for craft website. Ive made it b4 in pink, so it was a lot quicker made this time.
I do not have a circle cutter, I was thinking of investing.... good idea or not?

I feel bad not mentioning specific cards but i love them all!!;)

Id looked at few craft magazine today but didnt know if any one is better than the others on sale?? Some had free papers but where sealed so i couldnt see if i liked them enough to buy the mag!
