Evening all! - I seem to be the only fit one amongst us today :rotfl:.

Hope everyone is feeling better - glad you explained how you got the sore bum cheeks rainmac :rotfl:.

Lovely cards everyone - I'm sure I shall be [STRIKE]pinching[/STRIKE] creating a few in the next few days. Thanks for the sneaky on the next funky fairys challenge saveapenny I've just put a get well card for their current challenge on my blog it's a bit loud so not for anyone with a headache :rotfl:

Sorry rusty - thank you!

rainmac - :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I can't believe how many of us have ailments! Although npsmama, you did make me smile - 1982 girl has a UTI, not a IUD. If you're still at the breastfeeding stage though, you have a good excuse for getting muddled.

I managed to print 11 gorjuss girls onto a sheet of A4 paper to practise my colours on - now I've decided I need more pens The colours I have just aren't cutting it!

Just making my way through all the posts and blog updates that been made over the last few days.... looks like everyone has been very busy crafting. I finally had time to make my green card for the challenge, it is on my blog http://drip-standsandcraftyhands.blogspot.com/ I'd better go as I have lots of comments to leave for everyone!

rainmac fab card for the crafty place challenge. love the box you made for your mum:T the NEC sounds good. have you booked a ticked for a specific day or just a general one?

thanks for all your comments about my green card. the papers are papermania secret garden. I used whisper pens to colour it in. I could colour images in all day - I find it very therapeutic:rotfl:

Not sure that was me - think it was Melissa75 - I suggested out of the ark cassette case.
Mad about cards did have some blocks for £1.

Not sure who it was asking about stamps - npsmama? I get good results with the papermania ones that you can pick up for £1 in various places or for unmounted I like clever cuts or I have some from eBay that came from Malaysia which are lovely.

Doh!
Finally got around to doing the post pals challenge on Cute Card Thursday - 5 days too late. Never mind I'm sure the little boy who gets it will like it as I managed to find one who likes dinosaurs.
I found the badges on sale at the local museum for 39p each and made the backing paper myself with clip art.
Picture on my blog.
