Can I call this my 'green' MSE challenge card please? I agonised over it - eventually decided it would have to do for my friends birthday today but it seemed so heavy when it was done I took it round last night rather than risk the postmen charging her for it! The bottom flower & stems were from craftwork cards, the 70 I made myself:eek: using scalloped circles and chalks and the others were papermania ones I've had for ever. The card base also came from craftwork cards and I printed the yellow background - only the very tips of the back 'missed' the ink.



All these May birthdays!! This was a topper I got off a card sent to me (very MSE) so I scanned it and made a pretty background of my own with flowers etc. Phew! almost glad its over!!

Rainmac - I sorted so much rubbish out yesterday I feel so much better!! Trouble is though we had a new bed delivered today so I had to help OH put it together - so I'm exhausted again!!
Sallyuk - not cheeky at all - I don't think I've got anything in red - I'll have a check!!! Your card is lovely - I like how you've decorated the inside - and I love that shade of purple.
Saveapenny - beautiful challenge card - I love your subtle colours and those fabric yellow flowers are fab!
CT19720 - what a fantastic job - restoring tapestries at Hampton Court!!! A stitched card would be very suitable!! I love your green card!
Gemm - hope you have a fab holiday!
Rusty - fantastic cards - I'm glad you liked the paper (it was from the sultry range), great way of using the card candy. Good luck to your OH, and I hope court went okay today.
Furrypig - great idea - but I'd rather just give it away on here - much less effort!!!
Mumhug - great cards - I love the rock hard fairies - they're such original images!
EmmaOC - sorry to hear your sad news.
Marg - great cards, the "funny" one is my favourite!

Massive good luck wishes Rusty, hope it goes as well as it can xxxxxxx

Who mentioned thorntons?? I could murder for some of them lol

Thanking you all for the support. It was horrible and nasty I fell out with the solicitor aswell and told her what I thought of her. but the good news is that it has been listed for a final hearing ... even though we haven't agreed on anything as he can't make his mind up!!! I am in a foul mood and want to sit and cry the rest of the day away Now it is time to get on with normality again! I am sorry if I haven't commented on blogs etc I have been so wrapped up in this mess that I have struggled to get through the days! then the pain on top has just about finished me off.

Actually no ... scrap that I am going to go and see if I can cheer myself up and make a card! .... pics to follow hopefully.

Marg - Fabulous cards ... think my fave out of them all is your green challenge! really eye catching and pretty!

Flourgirl - Watch out for your postyman, I posted it first class about 20 mins ago hopefully will arrive safely with you. I absolutely love your new card, looks sooooo pretty. I think it is the cupcake papers I have? not sure though?
I think I really need to indulge in some flowers

saveapenny thank you so much for the acrylic block:A. I will have a play at the week end - my first attempt at stamping!

rusty sorry you had a rough time in court. will reply to your pm later

flourgirl would you still like me to look for the mag tomorrow? I gave OH the good news that I had promised someone I would go to the garden centre:rotfl: he just agreed!!

furrypig

Rusty been thinking of you today and sorry to hear it has all been a nightmare sending lots of hugs your way xxx

Rainmac can I take you up on your offer to enter my frog card in the green challenge as not got round to doing one this week thanks

Melissa if you are not gonna do blog candy and you have any little bits Molly would like she would appreciate them if you need a new home for them thanks

Saveapenny - gorgeous pictures of Harry. Hope you had a lovely day with him today. Fab green challenge card.

Rusty - thanks for the image - they are perfect and will have a play colouring them in over the weekend. Sorry court didn't go as you wanted today.

Sally - beautiful cards - love the purple paper - never seen anything like that before.

Marg - lovely cards - really like the wedding one and the weasle card is very cleverly done :T. Can I ask what font colour you have used on this card, presuming you have printed it directly onto the card. Whenever I try to print in a silvery colour it is either too dark or not dark enough.

Spent the afternoon making a birthday card from my boys to my OH today. It has come out really well - but can't put it on here or my blog until Sunday as he is liable to look on both before he gets it.
