Think I've eventually caught up on all the posts from the past 5 days! Sorry but I haven't got time to comment on everything seperately but everyones cards on here & on their blogs are fab as usual.
Welcome melsharpshooter, that's a great first card much better than my first ever attempt! I look forward to seeing some more of your cards soon

Here's a card that I've made for my friends who are getting married next weekend. The colours of the card are the colour theme of the wedding. Hope you like it. I'm not sure whether to add some peel off border around the edge of the black paper as I don't think I've cut it out very straight & that might hide it! What do you think?

Rusty I'm so sorry to hear your sad news.
Welcome to the thread Melsharpshooter heres a clicky link for you blog http://www.tinkerbell-neverneverland.blogspot.com/ you have your first follower.
Fifi lovely card not sure whether you should add a peeloff border or not although you could try it as in my experience they come off quite easily if you don't like it.

Yey, I can post photos! :j I'll have to get the camera out & add some more of my cards to photobucket.
Here's the only other card that I already have taken one of. It's just one that I came up with when I was having a play, don't know who I am going to send it to yet! Let me know what you think

BunBun...thank you so much for the things you sent me it was very much appreciated expecaily 1 off them and so beautifuly wrapped...thank you
Dragonllew your card arrived safley its just beautiful thank you
Fifi...you could try borders or how about a border of gems to tie in with the rest of them?

Melissa...I got the instructions from Rusty, Im useless as giving instruction but here goes

Fold the blanket or towel the same thickness as a packet of wipes long ways ( I used a large pack for more stability) took the wipes into the centre of the folded towel/blanket
roll the nappies up in tight rolls and secure with elastic band.
Stack the nappies up on the wipes
Gather up the sides of the blanket/towel and secure with elastic band
Make sure the nappies are packed in tight
Decorate the top with ribbon or whatever you want
Thats probably as clear as mud
