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.

Wow thats gone really quickly :eek: Can't wait for your little one to arrive I bet you can't either!!

Hopefully my stamp will be the same then and just stick on nicely! fingers crossed

OH has gone out with his mate so I am hoping the postman brings some papers I ordered off ebay, they were male ones (think a few off here have bought them? the one with the ties?)
I want to try and make a couple more cards today, and DS has asked if he can make some after school with him and he wants to write on the internet like mummy (Think he means a blog :rotfl: bless him)
I ordered some of the card candy from craftwork cards last night aswell

Saveapeny I have sent you an email for the penny black stamps thankyou xx

saveapenny - that would be lovely; I was getting very jealous of everyone meeting up in the NE! If we met there on a Sunday morning between 10 and 11, they do free coffee and croissants.

I've just uploaded my challenge card for CCC, it's on my blog. Again, the photo's not the best. Camera still broken

Love your challenge card JHB really bright and funky, I can't enter this weeks as the only embossing bits I have are on my squeeze and I haven't sucessfully used them as yet! lol

Just made up another card this morning, I managed to find some unmarked greeting farms images, they only had a small label on the bottom not through the image so have about 12 different ones which look really cool. If anyone wants them I can email them across if you send me your email address.

Rusty - that's one of the stamps that I've just bought - they're quite big aren't they?? Fab card - I love those papers, and the stripey brad looks great. I also bought the princess one and the fairy chloe stamp.

That's lovely rusty A great image and I love how the brad matches the stripes on the paper.
Am just about to pm you

Seems to print out quite big! looks lovely! I love this one.

I have pics of the princess, the rocking anya, baseball player, fireman, anya angel, mermaid, sheriff, nurse, teacher, spaceman, skater, and flat capped ian! Where did you get your stamps from Melissa? only reason I ask is because I know you will only pay the cheapest price

Rusty - I got them from here:

they seem to be roughly the same price everywhere, but here it was only a quid postage. I'm thinking of getting some of the 10 quid sets - I like the farm one and the one with the fisherman.
