Rusty - you're supposed to be a local
It's the bit off the A690 between Durham and Sunderland

I've added my card further up the page (runs away and hides)

I only moved up here just over a year ago so can I blame that? :rotfl:

We should have a mini meet up for those in the NE

Your challenge card is perfect! I love it x

Fabulous cards Rusty, I love the zoo one:) I wish I had ordered more Basic Grey when they were first on offer. I have just got another order from Glitter Pot today I got the Cupcake and Boxer 6x6.

Gorgeous card Mookybargirl. Well done:)

So it is your fault I couldn't order any Boxer papers and had to order a stamp instead?? :rotfl: I can blame you for making me spend more money

Hamish/rusty - I've only got one acrylic block and its tiny - I've just been stamping my larger images with a cd case - it works fine, probably not as ideal as a block but its cheaper!!
Mookybargirl - fab card - I really like the candles!!
Rusty - great zoo card - I love the giraffe! Your challenge card is gorgeous - I love those rub ons! Hope you feel better soon - and congrats on your fab stamping!!!

Ok so OH will really think I have lost the plot when I steal a CD case to give it a try, how did you stick it onto the CD case? has to be a MSE way of stamping Thankyou for the comments means a lot

Do we have a baby countdown yet?

rusty - lovely challenge card, it's so rustic. I really like the zoo one as well; I always find it hard to think of things for boys' cards. I had an acrylic block free with some stamps recently, but I can't remember what size it is - not sure if it would be big enough for a magnolia stamp as I'm not sure how big they are? I'll find it out and pop it in the post to you (maybe not until the weekend though!).

Thankyou Jailhouse you are lovely xx

I missed quoting your post ... have left a comment on your blog, love your card its really pretty, where did you get the turtles from?

NPS I don't have any, but I love some of them. I was thinking of purchasing some pre stamped ones from ebay. Still deciding first though.

You're all too kind about my card :rotfl:

Jailhouse - Well done on your good marks for your assignments. I've just had an email about a rescue greyhound called Jasmine at a centre in Warwickshire & it reminded me I forgot to say well done earlier.

Mookybargirl & rainmac - thanks for your kind advice still not sorted my blog. I can't get to grips with why it's showing my email rather than my name that I've asked it to display. Might have to scrub it & start again :mad:3rd time lucky ........maybe.

Rusty - all the stamps that I've bought that haven't been wooden backed ones have just stuck onto the acrylic block or cd case without having to use anything else. The ones that I had delivered today had a backing that I had to peel off - then they just stuck on! Nearly 11 weeks to go now - I can't believe how huge I am already.
Npsmama - Sorry - I haven't any penny black images - as Rusty says there are loads of stamped images of them on ebay.

npsmama

Wow - I'm shocked that stamped images sell for that kind of money on ebay!!!!

I'm sure a couple of years ago i git a free Penny Black calendar and decoupage set. I remember the cat sleeping in a bra image distinctly.

Rainmac...I am so plesed your moms finaly finished , It a big mile stone for her send her my best wishes
Your challenege card is lovely and the flowers will probably set your moms tears off again ...lol

Mumhug...your card is brilliant I was starting to think no one was entering. There is a champagne bottle in the templates section ...you could resize it and cut it out in different colours and build it up that way
I have a pyramid decoupage sheet with champage glass's on , Its ment for new year but can send it if you want to take a look

Ive got a few Penny Black images I took from the net if anyone wants them PM me your email but they are coloured

rainmac

Jailhouse - huge congratulations on your results, you deserved to treat yourself I think :j:j:j

Rusty - fab cards :T, my fave is the house in the woods. PLM told me to use a CD case as a stamping block and I've tried it and it worked. Your Smirk image is gorgeous and brilliantly stamped, you are obviously a stamping natural . Soooo sorry you are in so much pain. My dad has a trapped nerve at the top of one of his legs (he fell over a week or so ago but wouldn't go to the docs whilst my mum was having her radiotherapy). He went yesterday afternoon and was given some high strength anto inflamatory/pain reliever pills and cocodromol (don't think I've got that right?).

mookybargirl - fab green card, thank you so much for taking part in the challenge :T

mumhug - great cards on your blog , I love the turtles/tortoises on your green one, where did you get those from? Haven't been pver to Crafty Place for a few days need to have a look at the card challenge
