    Being a newbie on here there is no way I can comment on all the cards on other pages it would take forever so just a group very well done and will try to keep up with the fast flowing thread
    Rusty I too love your card, the black and white brad is lush

    Rusty - which one were you after??? I had a look on ebay to see if they had any before I ordered the stamps. I figured I'll only buy stamps that I like if I can't get the stamped images on ebay.

    Love your CCC challenge card on your blog Jailhouse, the image is gorgeous :D

    Rusty, your latest card is fab, so co-ordinated :T You can't stop making them now! Are you going to sell them? You could take a box of cards to work and put it on the bar for people to have a look through...;)

    Mel, assumed that was you in the photos and I was right :D Can't believe you've got less than 3 months to go until boy number three arrives, does he have a name yet or are you going to wait until he's born? I was convinced Thomas was a girl all during pregnancy so we had chosen the name Amelia/Milly (it was my nan's name). Got a shock when he was born and so we had to choose another name :p

    I was just looking in general to be honest melissa as I have only ever stamped once on a piece of scrap card! I do like these greeting ones though and managed to nab the images off the net ;) I can send them over to you if you want? then you can print them off yourself? I only have some of the single ones, not sure I could do anything with the larger ones but I tend to search high and low on google to find things I like lol.
    I only have the one stamp for now and that is it, although I ordered one last night but I can see me using some of my birthday money and buying just a couple of stamps ;)

    Thankyou Rainmac ... I hadn't thought about selling them, not sure they are good enough for that yet lol. My pretty man papers have just arrived and there is one that is perfect so I might have to go have another play now DD is in bed ;)

    And thankyou to all for the comments on my card ;)

    Rainmac - I know time goes fast doesn't it? I am gradually building up my stock of baby clothes. We have chosen the name Elliot for this one - I don't know why it just came to me!!
    Rusty - That's really kind of you - but I have given up trying to use my printer - it just gets me mad. Of course your cards are good enough to sell - give it a try and see how you get on!!
    The postman has just knocked with my promarkers - hurrah!! I shall go and colour now!!

    Melissa if you can PM me your address I will print them off for you and post them to you. I normally print 9 images on an A4 page and then cut them down etc. they look fine though. A bit cheaper than buying stamps ;) Let me know, I will do it for you no problem :) xx

    Enjoy your promarkers ;)

    Elliot is a lovely name, Awwww how cute! I am all excited for you!! :j

    Rusty - that's so kind of you!! It makes such a difference now that I have some pens that I enjoy using - I wouldn't have bothered with stamping before I got these pens. It seems so long since I had my other two boys - I hope that I haven't forgotten what to do!!
    Rainmac - I have just coloured in a face - I didn't have the right colour before. I have really got the urge to buy more stamps now!
