Fantastic cards everyone, I will catch up with blogs today, finally!
I went out last night for a couple of hours then came home and managed to be online for all of 5 minutes before our router kicked me off and refused to let me get back on again!!

I want to make some more cards today but can't remember what I have got coming from where!! I think my glitter pot order might come today (hopefully whilst OH is out) as they sent me a dispatch emails yesterday! not heard back from craftwork cards yet so maybe not that aswell!

When you say peel off pens, I presume by peel offs you mean the silver ones that you can pick up? I have some somewhere but have only ever used them once? I never think to put any kind of greeting on my cards maybe that would make them look better?? I will have a look for the DST that saveapenny mentioned a couple of posts ago as I paid 99p for one roll and its going down fast

Not sure if I have forgotten anyone??

Think I have replied to all PM's and sent all emails, thankyou to Saveapenny for my email, thankyou to Flourgirl for my parcel and Melissa hopefully yours will be with you today! (If I get anymore I shall print and post )
Sorry if I have missed anyone I am struggling to remember :rotfl:

I've had a busy week so promise to catch up on blogs and this thread later on today properly, but just wanted to post up a picture of my green challenge card - it is the first card I have done that I think fits 3 challenges - creative crew for the embossed dress and flower paper, and the crafty place one as it is using three's of everything. I'll add some stuff to my blog later.

Beautiful card CT really classy! I love it!

I can't believe how quiet it is on here today? where is everyone? ... I have been playing with some more images and now I might do for a drive to boundary mill see if I can find some nice cheap papers and some red flowers!
Have fun

Melissa - thanks for posting the differences between the pens - will save for some pro markers.

Gemma - the tunnel is the tyne tunnel - there's a few of us in the north east.

CT - I absolutely love your card. I'd be thrilled to receive that card! It's fab

Thanks for all the links for the peel off pens. I've ordered from imag-e-nation with some DST too (been here about 4 days now and bought something already - OH will be pleased :rotfl:)

Hiya saveapenny. Just wanted to say thanks for the flower template - I used it straight away - well on a scrapbook layout that I started straight away but have been fiddling with for the past 4 hours!

Hi CT

This card is really pretty, I love the embossed effect and the dress, well done!

To be honest I don't think you need pens as your colouring with crayons is first rate and gives a lovely subtle effect.

Rainmac, thank you so much for the circle, they arrived this morning , that was really kind of you to take the time to send them to me, I really appreciate them.
