    I`m just popping on quickly to say great cards everyone. I`m so busy at the moment and I`m not getting much chance to post and update my blog. I`m knitting farm animals and making a set for them which I hope to raffle off for charity and raise some money for Macmillan. I`ll post pics on my blog when I have finished it! My card making is limited at the moment too, I have a few orders in for Wedding cards but am trying to limit what I make so I can concentrate on the knitting!

    Wow Sally lovely cards! I love the sympathy one (that sounds a bit strange?) looks really lovely though!

    Well Thomas has asked me to post this one for him again (do any of you ladies mind that I post these? he is really happy at being able to do the same as me. if it is a problem please let me know and I will just post them on my blog for him)

    The papers was one donated from Flourgirl (thankyou) Card candy from 2 different packs, the image was donated from Hamish (thankyou) and the flowers donated from craftygranny (thankyou) (Wow I am so lucky!)

    This is the card he has made for his teacher :)

    Another gorgeous card Thomas :T:T:T I'm so glad you have been able to use those papers as they have been sat in a draw in my craft room for months. I love looking at your cards and I don't mind you posting them on here. You're a very clever boy :D

    Great cards everyone. :T
    I think a black&white baby card is classy - makes a change from blue/pink teddy cards which I seemed to get loads of!

    My OH has started doing watercolours again since I craft every evening! :j

    My other exciting news is that we might be getting piglets next week!!!! :j:j

    I've made some cards/ATCs but I'm not showing them on here as they are for various swaps that most of you are in so I don't want to ruin your surprise. ;)

    Thank you Melissa, I have sent you a PM. The cards on your blog are lovely.

    Rainmac - your new baby card is gorgeous!

    Popkins - I love your football card. Charlton is near where I live, I avoid doing my food shopping on the same day as a home game as there are coaches parked everywhere!

    Sally - so sorry to hear you needed to make a sympathy card. It is beautiful.

    Saving the best til last - my my Thomas you are so clever! Your card is definitely my favourite of the day! Make sure mummy lets you make more and keep posting them!

    Lucylu - fab anniversary card for your aunt and uncle - love the colours you've used.

    Melissa - gorgeous cards on your blog - i've left a comment.

    Sally - absolutely gorgeous cards - the baby one is very modern and looks great in black & white. The D&D on is cute, and you have used that fab paper again (where did you get it from?) and the sympathy one is very elegant.

    Thomas (Rusty) wow, what a really pretty card. I love the way you have coloured the image in - does it look like your teacher? I'm sure she will love it. May have to get my 6 year old to make a card, then you can have a card friend.
