Flourgirl, love your pink card, the papers match the image perfectly, such a pretty card. You should be very pleased with it missus

I've been working on a card for twins today, will post pic tomorrow.

Mel, thank you for saying you'll punch holes for me but what kind of mate would I be asking a very pregnant lady to get all hot and bothered punching holes in my chipboard :rolleyes: I'll see what the hole punch will do, I'll probably end up breaking it

Jailhouse, glad you've got dates for the exams you missed

Love those Elzybells stamps, so cute and prices look not too bad too

mumhug - that's gorgeous, I love the colour and vibrancy of the stitched flowers. It's so nice to be able to give someone a card and know that you won't see an identical one already on the mantelpiece; you're taking that one step further!

Mumhug that is really lovely. I did the simple butterfly one once and it took me all day as I kept doing it wrong and the card wasn't thick enough, then I ran out of thread lol

Well done Mookybargirl on winning the green challenge.

Jailhousebabe - good luck with the rest of your exams/assignments/ dissertation. I can also ignore the ads if everyone else can.

Absoultely stunning card Mumhug - I want to do one for my MIL for her birthday in October, did you find it quite easy to do? Did it take you very long to punch the holes in it and stitch it? Sorry for all the questions, but would like to know what I am getting myself into.

Ct it was quite easy I would say it took about 3 hours but in my house I dont get to sit and concentrate. The holes took about 5 mins (i used a compass),

I hope that helps x

Oh congrats to mookybargirl on winning the challenge.!!!!
