Manson666 Just had a look at your blog, there are lots of lovely cards on there:T:T I have left you some comments and I'm your first follower:D


Melissa Great idea about the beermats. I did buy some mount board the last time the Jacobs Ladder was posted and it's still sat there waiting to be done. The thing putting me off is cutting out 12 identical squares, so the beermats would have been perfect, and free.

I've just looked in my stash and can't find my beer mats I know I had loads of them though which is what I don't understand! oh well it will have to wait a couple of days til I can go get some from work

thanks for the comments on my card

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.

Hi Manson

I love the cards on your blog, they're fab!

I really like the writing on the baby card, was that stamped or was it a topper?

: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

Morning Rusty

Just wanted to say I love your High Schoo Musical card, it's fab!

And your cakes are beautiful too, I wouldn't have a clue where to start making one of those, although I'd like to!

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?

Hi Marg yes it was that punch that I got
