anyhoo enough nitter nattering here is my card

Hi Rusty, sorry for another question - where did you get this image from?

I had a look on your special website, and can't see it, can you point me in the right direction for it please.

Just found some handbag 6 x 6 papers and this image would look great on it for a card I need to do in June.

Many thanks xx

Have been umming and aahing about whether to post this as its a gift for someone and I've not given it to them yet. Given that she's not a mker of cards, the chances of her reading this forum are pretty slim and I think my need to get opinions is greater than that possibility.


It's my first shadow box attempt and the plan is that she can use it to store bits and bobs from her wedding last year. I've put in my placecards and an invite to give her the idea and will ask her to choose her stuff and return it to me and I'll pop them in.

It's for a birthday present

The picture at the backup is a close up of wedding flowers and engagement ring.

I've really struggled with it because I bought it thinking it was 12 inches then realised when I got it home it was 16 inches.

dawnteabag - I think it's lovely and I'm sure your friend will too; it's such a thoughtful gift. The photo is lovely, and the ribbon matches the colour of the roses perfectly. I love your ribbon flowers - now we know what you were doing them for.

I brought a corner punch very similar to this in hobbycraft on sat and they were reduced to £2.59 if that helps anyone.

Pants!
I went in hobbycraft sheffield this week to look for the whispers desk tidy thingy. They didn't have nay of those or of these.

I did buy a corner punch today though not the plain one I was looking for. Couldn't resist it in the 99p shop. Just like this one

Well the ribbon should match because it was tied around our wedding favours!

Thanks for the feedback. She's a very sophisticated lady so I'm a bundle of nerves about getting it right.

dawnteabag I go to the Hobbycraft in Sheffield sometimes, usually incorporate it with a trip to Meadowhell

You're braver than I am - I HATE meadowhall. I went with my best friend on the day it opened and have been mentally scarred ever since. It was mental! You were just kind of swept along by the flood of people and had to try and get near an edge of the crowd so you could try and push into a shop.

Did they have any others? - I could only find that one (and only one of them left!)

I thought it was just me that hated meadowhell . I really need to go as my Ortak bracelet needs fixing - fortunately it just dropped in my lap and I didn't lose it.

Have had a bit of a play tonight - got a bit carried away with the bling bit of the funky fairy challenge - will take pics tomorrow when the light's better. Not sure all the glitter will show though
