Hello all,

Wow, I only miss half a day and there's loads to catch up on already!

Thank you to everyone who commented on my cards, sincerely.

Going back to an earlier discusssion about buying cards - I think it's fine to, sometimes you just don't have time to make one do you and I also don't want to waste handmade on someone who won't appreciate it.

Kim_Possible - your pink apron card is absolutely gorgeous, I love the background paper.

flourgirl - you green apron card is lovely and your sport one is great, well done.

Qwicksave - what a fantastic idea to make a card from a cd, I love it!

Furrypig - I know someone who would just LOVE your Chelsea card. Good time to be a Cheslea fan at the moment isn't it?!

Mumhug - your football card is fab and I love the images.

Fifi - what a great beer card. I love your butterfly ones too and how you've used the paper on the first one.

Npsmama - your blog cards are lovely, my particular favourite is the pink and yellow one.

Mrs Tidge - what a great start to your blog and I love the 3d standing cake.


Can I ask a question... what is basic grey? Is this something amazing I'm yet to discover but my purse strings will wish I never do?!

Lucy Lu - basic grey is a make of card making/ scrapbooking products. A lot of us love their papers on here and use them all the time, they also do a lot of co-ordinating embellishments but these can be expensive. If you look on a lot of people's blogs you'll see a lot of the papers.

Thank you Melissa, now I know!

Message to my bank account - be afraid, be very afraid!

Lucy Lu - you should be afraid - I dread to think how much i've spent on their stuff!!!

Oh Melissa, thank you so much! There's a website and everything! Lol. http://www.basicgrey.com/index.php?src=gendocs&link=home_page&category=Main
It's like being a kid in a sweet shop!

Where's the cheapest place to buy their products?

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/

Lovely card npsmama :T I like how the image sits in the spiral circle. It must have taken ages to cut out all the pieces.

Mrs Tidge I'm also a follower on your blog. I love the slice of cake card, I think it's very clever:T
Fifi Folle Pretty cards, I love the butterflies the look so delicate:T
Lucy Lu I am a big fan of Basic Grey too, I love the quality of the papers or should I say "quantity" They make things so easy to match up.

Melissa It's only money........:D

I have just bought K&Co Sparkly Sweet 6x6 pad and the quality is really poor and not up to their usual standard. It feels more like they have used recycled paper :mad:

Fifi_Folle

Glad you like my cards, thanks for all your kind comments

npsmama hope your migraine goes soon. Great challenge card & I think all the others on your blog are really good too

flourgirl they are real bottle tops. I just used a couple of layers of sticky foam to stick them on. My bf & my Dad now know to open their bottles carefully so they don't bend the tops & not to throw them out as they are needed for cardmaking! lol :rotfl:
