I've just uploaded 3 cards onto my blog if anyone wants a look:

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?????

The K&Co glue roller and refills, Basic Grey 6x6 Offbeat paper pad and a large pack of different coloured gems. Could have kept adding for ages cos they have lovely stuff but drew the line there. Got the 10% off too, you have to register on the site to get the 10% discount

The new cards on your blog are fantastic, love the colours and the images are beautiful and excellently coloured I now have about 5 stitch templates but have only used one of them. I have a swirl one which I keep meaning to try but then forget about it and do something else instead. Must leave it out to remind me to use it.

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:

:j

Speech, speech :T:T:T

Well done for winning, your card is lovely and you thoroughly deserve to win Parcel will be on it's way to you in the next day or two

Great cards as always everyone. Will go blog hopping shortly. Thought I would post a link for a great site that has decoupage and loads of football papers / stuff. It is a lovely lady who goes on docrafts site and shares her stuff. Great for making football cards, just click on football stuff

Rusty I'm sure Home Bargains in North Shields had kids craft caddys in yesterday when I popped in. I think they were about £2.99. They looked similar to the Wilkinson ones but I'm not sure what they had in them though

Mookybargirl - love the speech!!
Rusty/flourgirl - the eva are nice - very pink. Here are the ones that I have so far: sultry, sugared, archaic, cupcake, boxer, eva, offbeat, mellow, infuse, porcelain, granola and on order are lime rickey and wisteria. I think the ones I need to complete my collection are ambrosia, bittersweet, phoebe, and periphery - how sad am I???
Mygeorgie - I just did a little stitching for the first time on one of my cards (pic on my blog), and I just used one strand of embroidery thread (as recommended by flourgirl!.
Rainmac - you'll love the offbeat papers - they are very different!! I haven't ordered anything for a while - trying to be good, (well apart from my craft superstore 40 quid order).
