Rainmac EmmaOC sent me a piece of bazzill basics paper today it has kind of raised dots on it, there was some in those scalloped circles you sent to me, do you know what it's called and where I can get it please?

Hi Flourgirl

Dawnteabag is right, the paper is called 'Dotted Swiss'. I bought mine from Creative Craft World when they were doing the 'free postage' promotion. I have just looked and unfortunately they are not doing it now.

They do have a good range of colours though.

I hope everything goes okay at the hospital - I will be thinking of you.

I'm cleaning this morning as well as my Mum is coming to stay for a few days. I love it when she comes as she is my craft buddy !

Don't overdo the cleaning

flourgirl will be thinking of you this afternoon - hope all goes well.

I had my endoscopy yesterday - not pleasant but didn't last long!

Wow, there's been some wonderful cards posted. So many talented people on here. I've had to make notes on catching up on the thread! Now I have to read my own writing :rotfl: (sorry if I've missed anyone).

npsmama - I love your ribbon box and so pratical. I do like things to look tidy, but that usually means, throw it in a drawer! Can't remember who posted one of these boxes a week or so ago. It's such a great idea.

ranmac - Congrats on winning cindermacphees challenge :T Your green Fathers Day and the one for your friends son is lovely, and so different. I'm sure they'll both love them. I could never make anything like that!

Melissa - I love my spotty flowers that came last week. I got one of the green and black ones and a beautiful light pink one with darker pink spots. It's so pretty, I want to keep it forever! :rotfl:

quiksave - I'm SO jealous of your cuttlebug. I'm still thinking about one for my birthday.......

flourgirl - I love that apron card too. Again, just so different. I love the ribbon on it too. Your purple dragonfly card is superb too!

rusty - Love your pretty teacher card and your use of card candy. I've still to play with mine. Such a busy weekend and don't think I'll get any time this weekend either

lucy - I loved all of your cards, my fave was the top one with the flower in the middle and as flourgirl said, you're so brave to hand write on your cards. You really don't want to see my writing! :rotfl:

sally - Really like your new baby card. Again, it's diferent from everything else. I really like it! My fave was the style of your with sympathy card. How did you do the flowery thing on the bottom left - was it a stamp?

Good luck Flourgirl with your hospital appointment this afternoon. Fingers crossed it all goes well and there is nothing to worry about.

Bubun - glad yesterday, wasn't too bad for you and didn't last long.

Really struggling to think of anything to make for a male/fathers day card :mad:, so have concentrated on the CCC challenge this week - hope to get it finished today and posted up tomorrow.

Welcome home Gemm - glad you had a fab time in Dubai - I bet a week wasn't long enough and you want to go again :rolleyes:

Thanks for the offer to get me some paper Sal. When I have thought of something I can use it for I'll be in touch.

Hope everyone feeling happy and healthy now the sun has come out (well it is where I am ).

Sal Phlebotomy:eek: rather you than me, I faint at the site of blood
I don't give mine very well they always have to poke about a bit, I feel queezy typing about it :rotfl:

Ha ha, that's like me, they always joke and say they think I don't have veins in my arms, I end up with very bruised arms after having a blood test.

It's called Bazzill Dotted Swiss and you can buy it all over the place. I've bought it from several online places, usually when there's been a free p&p offer on

Couple of places here that sell it, bet Mel can come along and tell you where's best to buy it
