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

That's beautiful - you're right to be pleased with it! . Love the background paper - is it embossed?

Thankyou Dawn, yes the background paper I embossed myself (how smug am !) with my new cuttlebug! First time I have had a chance to play with it and I love it, OH was secretly smiling as he knew he had given me such a fab gift!

Wowsers!
I am currently in a last minute cuttlebug dilemna - I think I'm going to get the craft at home one with the 5 folders but then I'm thinking I need an alphabet. But do I? Then just as I was about to order it I spotted a second hand on on ukscrappers - the lady said that she had to wait for a reply from someone else before she could offer it to me but it's been 3 days now and I'm itching to get one. My friend is currentl in America so I'm tempted to just get her to pick me up some embossing folders anyway as I'll use them whatever option I chose in the end.
Decision decisions!
You're a very lucky girl getting one for your bday.

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?

Rusty that is absoloutely gorgeous:T And perfect for Rainmac, she will love it.

You have to put your name, date and title on the back

I don't have an alphabet, I was tempted but plan to make do without as I also have a quickutz squeeze which has an alphabet so I can always use that in the bug if needs be. I saw the one with the 5 folders but will you really use all 5 folders?? I purchased mine from craft superstore, used the 15% off voucher and it was free delivery, it came to £46 ish? fown from £59.99 so then with the extra £18 that he would have paid for the one with the folders I went on ebay and bought folders for £2.99, and £3.99. my most expensive one was a winnie the pooh one which cost me £5 you can get them really cheap on ebay though and also you can choose which ones you want rather than being stuck with the 5 folders they give you
