Here's the card I made last night. Can't believe it took me 3 hours! :eek: And yes, I know I should have been revising, but a girl needs to relax and I couldn't wait to use this image (thanks rusty ).



When I printed these images, I copied and pasted them into Word and printed 6 per page - but there was a lot of white space around them. I think I would have had to make them smaller to fit 9.

Wow that looks amazing and so worthwhile of the 3 hours!!! absolutly beautiful card. Can I ask what pens you have used?

(you will have a PM in a few mins ... posty has been)

Big thankyou to you for the stamps ... DS is desperate to have a play with them, and thankyou for the blocks and rocker aswell xxx

Not sure if you have a boundary mill near you but they sell packs of 10 for 9.99 (it might have been packs of 12?)

Gemm, the tunnel is not at all scary ... you can drive at a max of 20mph, you can also be robbed for driving under the sea (£1.20) and you drive through its just like a normal tunnel, it is quite noisy in there because of the air conditioning fan thingys but I love the tunnel, my DS does aswell he always asks if we can go under the sea :rotfl: he loves driving past the angel of the north aswell so if we go anywhere and can go either way then I always ask which way he would like to go, under the sea or past the angel

Thankyou to all for the kind comments on my cards

I have just cleared the dining room table and boxed up all of my craft stuff most of which is all new! I filled up a massive box and had to have a seperate box for 12x12 papers :rotfl: I am spoilt rotten!!!

Big thankyou to Melissa for the ribbons, the beautiful papers (where are the baby ones from? they are gorgeous) and I could just drool over the basic grey ones you sent, and also the chipboard shapes thankyou xxx

Rainmac - Thankyou for my scallop circles and also my cookie cutter they are lovely!! do you have a scallop circle cutter now?? xx

Rainmac - I've had no luck finding any of the new stamps cheap - I think only a few retailers have them in stock at the minute. There's one shop that has a lot of their stuff at cheaper prices - I've emailed them to ask if they are getting the new products in. I'll let you know if I find anything. I must get a corner rounder too!
Jailhousebabe - beautiful card - I love the red and gold together and the background paper is fab!
Rusty - I managed to have a quick colour of the images yesterday - they look so cute. The trouble is my son has spotted them and now wants to colour them all in himself!

Rusty - glad you liked everything - the baby papers were from a pack that I bought at the craft fair at the N.E.C - I think they are by Dovecraft.
