She grinch your card is lovely and you have lovely handwriting.

Melissa I think you have just reminded me why I decided to stop at 3 kids.:rotfl:

I have been making a card for my little sis today she is a bit of a goth. I have 3 cards to make for her from various family members and its hard to think of differant ideas. Here is the first one do you think it is suitable???

flourgirl - the flowers look great. I feel another spend coming on. :rolleyes2

[STRIKE]Aw - can't see the flowers on poppicraft anymore, so they must have sold out.[/STRIKE] I've ordered both flowers and ribbons :j
They've got some brads in their sale now (I've never used brads so no good for me...yet).

Called at the Doctors this morning to find out why they didn't ring me yesterday with an appointment and they said they have the wrong phone number I have had that number for 17 years and they have used it to ring me several times before:mad: Anyway I have an appointment for the boob clinic on the 21st apparantly they tell you there and then if there is something wrong.

Mumhug the ribbons are fab quality too. Love your card, I never would have thought to put 2 images together:T

Love the card She grinch:T how brave of you to hand write it.

Saveapenny I will PM you in a bit.

Hiya, I come with more spending opportunities!

I got June's Papercraft Inspirations mag yesterday and it has two pages of discount vouchers. I have just added them to the magazine section of the discount forum (as I'm not allowed to put them here).

There are discounts for Handy Hippo, Craft Superstore, Crafty Ribbons, Papermaze, Altered Element and RU Craft, amongst others.

My hubby is off to China tomorrow - how much stuff can I get ordered and delivered before he comes back in 9 days? :rotfl:

Hope everyone's feeling a bit better today x
