Dragonllew - Sorry, but was the punch you got with the offer the 'threading water' one shown in the picture? or did you get a choice?

Rusty - fab card - I love how you've used your red and gold card candy - it compliments the image and writing beautifully. Your nappy cakes are gorgeous too, I keep meaning to have a go at one - trouble is I'm the only person that I know that's pregnant. Was it you that was asking about the mountboard for the jacob's ladder card? Sorry if it wasn't - but I was just looking at the side and I thought maybe you could try using coasters instead - a lot of craft shops sell them quite cheaply - about a quid for 8 plain ones.

I have done it - my blog is up and running! I haven't quite mastered the positioning of the photos and some may be a bit blurry, but this is early days :rotfl:If anyone wants a peep it is http://manson666-manson666.blogspot.com
I have posted a card for the green challenge if it is not too late. I haven't figured out how to post a image on here! I would appreciate what you think as I am still a newbie when it comes to making cards and it is obviously not up to the standard of everybody elses on here using different papers and embellishments etc, but I am enjoying it and hopefully it will get better in time!
I am now going to catch up on all the posts. Hope everybody is ok and had a good weekend.

:eek: I have beermats in my stash (strange thing to have but I was going to make a scrapbook with them and I started and was using all the wrong glue and everything so it went in the bin!!!) Beermats and coasters are a fab idea!! Thankyou ever so much I can now finally give it a try ..... I was supposed to be doing housework today but I think this is much more important lol :rotfl:
Thanks ever so much Mel xx

Wow that looks sooo beautiful! What papers have you used? really pretty and perfect xx

Manson - your green challenge card is Fantastic! I love the decoupage ... would love a stamp like that it is soo different.

Sorry I couldn't reply last night Mel, I went to bed, took advantage of being home alone with just the kids. OH has his interview in about 3 mins (8:30) and stayed at my aunties last night ... however I could hear someone tapping in our roof ... it was only when I was woken up by sqwarking at 2am and several other times that I realised we are housing a host of baby birds ... they are obviously hungry .... :mad: I wouldn't mind but I had a rubbish night sleep even though I tried to get an earlyish night! :rotfl:

Hope everyone has a fab day!
