Mine was the 'surfing' one

Saveapenny - I can see links for cards, inserts and weddings, the rest is family stuff.
Or should I be looking in the 'subscriptions' list?

Hi Sally,

I have recently used these: http://www.sarahscardsltd.com/shop/213/index.htm

I believe this was a link Melissa posted up a while back recommending them (I think?)

Fast delivery and delivery was also free on the flowers ... I love my flowers I got from her, the only fault I have was that I wish I had ordered more :rotfl:

Thanks for the comment on my card

That's great, thanks for the link, Rusty. And to you too, Flourgirl for the links you posted earlier too.

Here is a card I have made for my Sister`s birthday.

Its a two layer bookatrix with gift envelope. My sister is a Taekwondo instructor, so I made the little suit from felt for a topper.

I just need to make the box and stand for it now.

Poppy - I love how you've incorporated a gift envelope in this, and the little outfit is brilliant. I guess your sister has had lots of HM cards from you over the years? This one will top the lot x

Thanks, Flourgirl, that's the cheapest I've seen so far

Can I take mine OUT of the challenge? I did say it was for 'amusement only' (the cartoony one) as I made it YEARS ago.

I'm still working my way through this thread from beginning to end, its taking ages 'cos there are so many interesting links, loads of fab stuff on blogs to look at, craft shops to browse in, thanks to be given and so many crafty sites to be bookmarked that nothing else is getting done! Having a whale of a time though! :j Just don't tell the husband! :shhh:

Phew, just read through about 5 pages worth of posts, been away from the thread for less than 24 hours

Rusty - another lovely card on your blog, love the image and the papers, you have a great eye for colours and what goes with what x

flourgirl - what a gorgeous hamper and card, wish I was a very close friend of yours so I'd get super pressies like that

1982girl - I am following your blog, super cards :T

Sally - I have a large scallop circle punch, 3 inch Woodware one. If you'd like I can cut some and send you so so can see for real how big they are etc, please send me a PM if you'd like some

Jailhouse - beautiful challenge card, I love the butterfly. Can I ask did you use a little scallop circle punch on the greeting and if so what is it cos I'd like one the same size Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly, hope you get better very soon x

Kim Possible - lovely pram card, it is so pretty :T

Melissa - stunning challenge card missus, it's fab, love the double embossing (new to me) and the paper is fab

Poppy - fab pocket card, such a clever idea and your bookatrix is fabulous (as always ) :j

Furrypig - love your frog card, he's fab. Would you like to enter him for the green challenge as well as the water one? He fits both doesn't he

Paddington - fantastic cards on your blog, and cat and budgies. Can I ask how does your cat get on with the birds in the house?

Bunbun - I didn't do much at all in the garage to be honest but OH stayed and sorted some of it so you can now at least walk into it which is a massive improvement

Phew again, think that's it, apologies if I've missed anyone but you lot have been majorly busy and I am struggling to keep up :rolleyes:

poppy love the bookatrix card it is fab:T I love the little suit you have made. my ds2 does tae kwondo - he would love this!

melissa it's so annoying when the paper trimmer doesn't work isn't it? I am sure mine doesn't cut straight :mad:

Hi rainmac - no scallop punches here I'm afraid; they're definitely on my wishlist. I cut the circle using scallop scissors - it's not very easy cutting in a circle with them! Just don't look too closely at it.

Hey all. I stumbled across this thread by accident on way to the wedding board - been through about the first 30 pages - WOW!
I've been making cards for about 3 years now, but I'm not terribly advanced, so I'll be popping in more often to try and improve my card skills. Thanks for all the ideas so far :beer:
