Lucy Lu - fab cupcake card - I love the sparkly gems on the icing. Great man's card too!
Louby Lou-Lou - a great idea for a man's card - printing off the stamp! I really like the papers you've used too!!
Kim_possible - lovely apron card - I really like how you've made the pocket at the front to fit the recipe book. I really like your apron strings too.
Maytaurus - thanks for the link!
Flourgirl - great cards - I love your football and cricket bat images - I like how they're kind of muted tones. Great idea to do the apron card for your Dad as he is so good at washing up!!!
Quiksave - fabulous challenge card - really inventive using the cd case!! It would be a great way of giving a handmade cd or collection of photos. I love your swirls!!
Furrypig - great decoupage card - brilliant for your first attempt. Well done for yesterday - although we are all Liverpool fans in our house!! Great thank you card too - I really like your big letters.
Mumhug - fab football card - I really like all of the embellishments that you've used! Great idea to use a green card blank. Could you pm me Rusty's code as i don't know it - I'd love to have a look at your scrapbook.
Popkins - hope you have a fab time.
Fifi folle - really clever idea for a man's card - very mse, the colours work really well together.

I've been so impressed by the beautiful and creative cards that have been posted here! :T:T

I've had a busy weekend annoyingly ending in a migraine today but hopefully I can sleep it off.

here's my entry for the men's card challenge. (Saveapenny, I wanted to put my card on CraftyPlace but I wasn't sure where? Sorry) :




I've also added some more Tilda ones to my blog: http://justbecauseitmakesmesmile.blogspot.com/

Furrypig love your thanks card, the brad in the middle of the "a" is so simple but extremely effective. I like sticking letters on at a quirky angle, it looks more interesing than straight. Brilliant :T Also your football card is fantastic, the decoupage is perfect :T can't believe you have never done it before. Could you put the link up for the papers please or PM it to me, pretty please:D.

have to say how inspiring all your creations are - I'm going to come up with some strategy for following posts so that I can name check people and their cards! Do some of you make notes while you're reading - otherwise you have incredible memories.

Well, I've done my 1st ever blog entry today and will now attempt to upload a couple of pictures..... Thanks to everyone who's been raving about the Basic Grey papers - I couldn't resist clicking some of those pesky links you keep posting!!!

Hmmm - looks like I can't link to my pictures - I checked help but can't find the upload attachments bit it talks about - oh well - better do a few more posts!


These cards are not my usual style but I enjoyed the departure from the norm in the sunshine today!

Hope you've all had a lovely day in the sun - my 3 year old has gone to bed in mine because his room was too warm( or at least that was tonight's excuse....)

Haven't thought how to sign off yet so bye for now!
