Rainmac Beautiful card:T Have you seen this weeks CCC challenge your pocket card would be perfect for that

Do you think? I wasn't sure it would be allowed as it's square? Have found another idea I'd like to try so going to have a go with that and see how it goes Hopefully tonight whilst I watch Holby City

I picked up a largeish wedding card order today so will start that tomorrow I think.

It's my little one's sports day at playschool on Thursday and I've offered to help. What am I letting myself in for ? Also volunteered to help out at an outing to a local open farm after half term.

Fifi Folle - sorry I have no idea how many posts you need before you can upload a pic!
Lucy Lu - just pm me your address and I'll see what I have!! Lovely card - I really like the burgundy and gold together.
Popkins - welcome to the thread - Like you I have nothing for men and I always struggle when it comes to making men's cards. I love your finished card - especially the bold colours - I'm sure he will love it.
Rainmac - beautiful baby card - such a clever idea to have a pocket on the front. I really like your pretty papers. What did you order from carfty charlie?????

Rusty - I've just checked and its the "porcelain" pad - I'm not that keen on the other papers in the set. I was having a look yesterday and I actually found one pad that I'd forgotten I had - the eva one - how bad am I?????

It's like the Oscars - should I make a speech?
I'd like to thank all those lovely people and MSE and especially rainmac's OH for picking out my name. I realise that my card is probably the worst, but I'll take random luck any day of the week. :rotfl:

I was just searching and just came back on to say I think it is percelain ... I haven't seen the eva one? I should go nosey now. I am really loving the basic grey range at the minute.
And you already know you are bad ... you don't need me to confirm it
Thankyou

Edit: just found the eva range ..... very pretty but out of stock! :rotfl: I think I NEED to buy some more basic grey papers ...

hi Mumhug,

your card is really lovely.
I'm just about to start on the sailing boat one posted a few days ago.
can I ask what type of thread you used, did you go out and buy what it says on the instructions or did you improvise, say with cross stitch thread?
