Hello everyone, what a gorgeous day it is, I've just nipped back in from the garden as my LO is getting tired so I'm hoping he'll have a little nap!
Rainmac I made your card last night so I'll be posting it on Tuesday, really hope you like it. I'm still trying to make my ATC for Paddingtondoo Oh I'm struggling the size is so small!!
Rainmac Would you be able to post the link you watched to make your fathers day cards, I think they are fab and I have the Secret Garden papers so if you don't mind I would like to have a try creating one!
Now for the silly question I want to make my exploding boxes soon but I'm unclear on the cardstock, has it got to be proper thick card? or can I use the papermania paper/card? I'm confused! (it doesn't take much!)

Gemm How's the baby cuttlebug? I'd love to have one!!

You don't want to use too thick card as otherwise it won't fall open how it's supposed to! I used plain 180 gsm card to make an exploding box card for my boyfriend's birthday (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=21142317&postcount=4688).

If you see anything you liek and want the images just PM me. http://s333.photobucket.com/albums/m373/SaveaPenny/Wedding%20Stationary/

Dragonflew - I've been asked to make a golf card for Monday too - I haven't got a clue what to do, I can't find anything suitable and I hate using my printer - aaahhhh -- the pressure!!

Melissa have you managed to make your card yet perhaps I might get some ideas from yours as still drawing a bit of a blank fortunatly there is no rush for mine.

Saveapenny thanks for my card it is gorgeous your photo really didn't do it justice will get mine posted on tuesday.
Haven't had chance to catch up on blogs yet need to go and get some cards finished for birthdays at the end of the week.

dragonllew/Melissa the let's make cards magazine this month has a few golf bits in it - card ideas and die cuts. I would offer to send them to you but I am making a golf card for ds1's teacher when he leaves in the summer. I could photocopy the ideas though for you if you would like.

I posted for the first time a few days ago. I just want to thank the lovely ladies who answered my questions and helped me on my way.
Ive been busy and made a couple of cards tonight. Ive got so caught up in it I thought it was only about 9.30pm but its actually 11pm!! .
I got my first Gorjuss Girls stamp, and I love her! Ive made a card tonight using her and hope to give it to one of my sisters.
I started a blog and posted a couple of pics. Im afraid their not the best quality pics, ill need to try better angles I think. If anyone doesnt mind popping over to take a wee look and offer some advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Ive been doing bits and bobs for a few months now but never anything id be willing to show off. Ive been following a few of your blogs and think all of the cards you make are fab.
Im hoping once a learn a bit more of the suppliers, tools and brands ill build up a better stash and be more creative.
