Hope you all have a good day.

Mumhug - the matchbook is very easy to do - step by step instructions here. You can make one that size froma piece of 12 x 12 card

If you would like me to cut you the pieces out PM me your details and what colour you would like.

Beautiful new card on your blog dragonllew, absolutely stunning

CT19720 - love your squirrel card, the backing paper is fab :T

Dawnteabag - eekk, what a huge spider :eek:. I try and be brave in front of my boys but I hate them and run away when possible What I find worse is 'dealing with' any dead creatures our cat brings home _pale_

Dawnteabag - I would have ran a mile if I'd seen that!!

rainmac - That site is fab! I'm looking for things to do with the kids over summer....it's a looooong summer!

I've posted my green challenge card on my blog now, went a bit wrong Never mind, looking forward to the next one!

You can make it from 2 or 3 (I can't remember) sheets of A4 as well but you have lots of bits left over but they are the right size for ATCs

Hi all, we made it!! I've just had a quick catchup and want to say fab cards (and spiders :eek:) everyone, I promise to catch up with all your blogs when I'm home! There's free wifi but only in certain areas of the hotel so I have to sit in the lounge with the laptop or my ipod to read the forums! but hey at least its free!

We had a fab day yesterday, visted a mall with an aquarium tunnel, the sharks were very cute have uploaded some photos to my photobucket, just to make you all jealous lol nah, I tend to upload photos if I can just in case camera or laptop goes awol then at least we havent lost our pics too hope you're all having a nice weekend, we're off to another mall in a bit for some shopping and dinner, its almost 3 now here.

Whoever mentioned about the big bus tours (sorry I can't remember who it was, might have been Caroline?) - we're going to do this on tuesday, we were given a leaflet when we arrived and it looks good

I've had an email from Magazine group for an offer of £1 for 3 issues of cadmaking and papercraft if anyones interested http://www.magazine-group.co.uk/magazine/hobbies-leisure/card-making-scrapbooking/cardmaking-&-papercraft?affiliate=E-TMG-0509A

Jailhousebabe - thanks for the link to the promarkers blog - I love how she colours her images - it must take her ages though!!
Dawnteabag - I love your son's cards - have left a comment for him! Those costco packs seem a real bargain - I have never been there but I've heard its fab! That spider was massive!!
Npsmama - I bought the flower soft starter kit ages ago - I've only used it once - I just couldn't get to grips with it. Have you got any cards that I could see that you've made with yours??
Gemm - glad to hear that you're having a fab time.
I still haven't caught up with everyone's blogs - I must do it today!!

Afternoon ladies,

I did come on last night after work and thank everyone, I wanted to reply but was soooo tired, although I also wanted to make up a card.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy mounting board from? preferably a shop rather than online? I would love to have a go at a jacobs ladder.

I confessed to OH that I bought the lime rickey papers, I thought he would go mad ... but he didn't ... he also commented that I now had a corner punch :rotfl: Lucky we had falled out so I think he knew not to bother saying anything

I am supposed to be making up nappy cakes, have a couple more orders and just putting the finishing touches to these shop ones!

Have a good day all!

CT - Love your OH's card
