Thankyou for the kind comments ladies

Bunbun - I didn't use my pens I am still hating them after another failed attempt! I am verging on giving up! ...



JHB you sound like you are having a complete nightmare? sorry you and your DD will miss the concert

Saveapenny good luck with the cooker hunting!

Flourgirl - Thanks for the welcome to the rounded corner gang lol ... I love it and am amazed at how smooth it feels when cutting aswell :eek: I bought the dovecraft one off ebay paid about 40p more to get a brand I had heard of but worth every penny!

Your card for the 3's is absolutely gorgeous! I can't even get on there again it has logged me out so when I click to log in it has a hissy fit and I see that magician ... I am about ready to poke him in the eye! lol

JHB - I got your email, thankyou ...

Some more images will be uploaded tonight ladies thankyou to JHB for the email she has sent

Could someone please tell me what the crafty place 3 challenge is please? I can't get on but it might inspire me to make something else?

Here's the craftyplace challenge - was going to post a link then thought about it DOH!

Posted by our wonderful saveapenny
This months challenge is a recipe one called all the 3's, which can be any theme you like as long as you use at least 4 out of the 5 ingredients but you can use all 5
The Recipe

3 papers ( must be different)
3 brads/eyelets/candy or gems
3 ribbons ( they can be the same ribbon but used in different places)
3 shapes ( these can be sentiments the images or the shape of the card can count as one if its not a plain straight edged card)
3 colours ( there must be only 3 colours used)

Hello Everyone

I am sorry that so many of you are feeling poorly and hope that you all feel better soon.

I really struggle to keep up with this thread as it moves so fast ! My brain cells have turned to mush since having my children and my memory is completely shot to bits so I only remember that last few posts that I read :rotfl:

Rusty - the new card you have made is beautiful, the black, white and red look so classic. I have become a stamping/colouring addict since you kindly let me have access to your images. I used the 'Dressing Up Maggie' one last night.

Rainmac - I have ordered my Hobbycraft ticket from Tesco's so would like to join you if you will have me

Flourgirl - your challenge card is also beautiful - I have left a comment on your blog.

I have just posted my Green Challenge card on my blog - I am so behind everyone else. This is my first ever challenge card which is my excuse why it has taken me long ! I must say thank you to Debsy1963 for the Penny Black image.

I am still trying to finish the cards for the Post Pals which will be a week late tomorrow !

I am still not allowed to post links. My blog is emma-madcatwoman.blogspot.com

Take care everyone

Emma

Great cards Emma - have left comments.
DD has managed to fix the camera :j (but she doesn't know how :rolleyes:), so I can now take some pics of the cards I've been making while stuck in bed. I'll post them up this evening.

Flourgirl I had one of them the other day ... the postage charge puts me off to be honest and I reckon the glitter pot will have the offer on again ... I would definately order from them again.

Well I've just finished making a card ... I used my new shiny corner punch woohoo :j and my new card candy :j :j Rainmac can I ask how you stick your card candy on? I can't find my adhesive pads but just about managed with DST!

Thanking you for all your kind messages about me going to the docs, I am still trying to go pain killer free but it is becoming more and more difficult. Not sure if I need to build up the codeine in my system or not ? will have to ring them and ask.

Well Done on getting to the drs too. I am so pleased that your doctor has managed to get you sorted and told the other one off :rotfl:
