My swappee is Rainmac and she is away til next week, however I have just sat and played with all my new things, and made a fat page which I am quite proud of ... do I have to keep it a secret and not post it or can I post a pic? I just want it to look really nice as Rainmac always does such lovely stuff

Maybe I could post then delete tomorrow or something?

I couldn't wait for my jelly mat .... I now have a scallop circle shape in the middle of my B board :eek: I tell you what I sat cringing as I was winding!!! lol

Or how about a "fantasy" theme - so you could do unicorns, dragons, fairies etc?????

Oh I like the sound of this for the next challenge.:T

Flourgirl your cards on your blog are stunning I can't believe that is your first ATC. I hope you get your shoulder sorted soon, I can't believe any doctor would think it was normal to be in that much pain.
Looby Lou your pirate card is fab.

Flourgirl - I've just had a look at poppicrafts - uh oh -I was trying not to spend any more money - but her stuff is too tempting.
Dragonflew - your my swapee!!! I've made a fat page instead of an ATC - I hope its okay for you. PM me your address and I'll try and post it on Weds!!
Rusty - I was unsure whether to post pics of my swap "creations" or whether to leave it as a surprise for the recipient. You're okay though I don't think Rainmac's back until Fri so you've got time to delete it!!

Soz for the snip!
Thanks Gemm - she didn''t need my good luck for her second interview in the end as she was offered the job at the fist one.:D
Congratulations card posted on my blog here.

Thanks Melissa I shall post then delete ... the pic is rubbish as it doesn't show the colours.

I used dark blue bazil card for the scallop and backing, then used silver ink for the stamped image, the light blue paper which is actually quite bright is Basic Grey Lime Rickey! don't think it needs anything else and I am actually quite happy with it (shock horror!) but just want to check that it is actually right and ok for Rainmac.

Can I ask what I need to put on the back? if anything?
