OK, I'm going in and I may be some time!!

I did have a go at crocheting some flowers for my cards, but to be honest they were probably more trouble than they were worth, might have another go at just 2 layers and see how they turn out, these are 3 layers. They are quite pretty though done with the varigated cotton.

flourgirl, they are fantastic!! I wish I could do that but I'm no where near as talented as you!

I've ordered some magnolia Tilda stamps and I just wondered if any of you had any Tilda stamps and fancied doing a stamped image swap? Gorjuss girls and Penny Black seem to be favourites as well so maybe we could incorporate them in the swap too?

Anyway, if anyone's interested let me know and I'll organise something on CraftyPlace.

Hello everyone,
Nic welcome to the thread, I'm now following your blog, lovely cards!
Lei-Armstrong thanks for replying, Your exploding box is fab, well done!
Dragonllew - Your post it note holders are fab! How did you score the lines? have you got a proper scoring board? I've looked at the intructions to make them and they all seem to use the scoring boards!
Flourgirl your flowers are fab!

Well I nipped into the range today and ended up buying an x-cut impress machine as they were half price, I've just had a look online and they seem to have better deals about, can anyone recommend these machines? Can I also ask where you buy your flowers from?

Here's my first attempt of colouring an image thanks to Rusty http://helsbelswork.blogspot.com/

Saveapenny I'm sorry I didn't know I had said I would card swap, have you got me mixed up with someone else. I didn't join in the one on Crafty Place as I should be away this week.

Afternoon!
I managed to get myself sunburnt yesterday so spent the afternoon crafting - only made one card though - for the funky fairy challenge using the download that I won last week.

It is a man's card but as I have 4 father's day cards to make will do another one for the MSE challenge.

Good idea for stamped images swap (I've just bought a stazon pad) but think I only have 2 penny black images, plenty of others though
