Hello everyone,
Rusty your card is fab well done, I can't wait to try it out!
I made my "New Home" card thanks to The Wife for the image I'll post some pics later.

I hope this doesn't sound cheeky but I was wondering if anyone would fancy selling me some 12 x 12 papers I'm looking for boyish colours and 2 pinkish colours, all the sets I seem to find in craft shops are for 18sheets plus! I am more than happy to pay the going cost and arrange payment for postage, I just know if I do it through someone on here I'll be chuffed with what I get, if that makes sense! If anyone of you could help could you let me know!

If you don't have any luck hels - try here they have loads of paper in their clearance sale. I don't have any pink (no surprise there) I wouldn't want to risk it getting mangled in the post as I don't have anything big enough to send it in.

Hels I have just bought lots of single sheets of 12x12 from here lots in the clearance section too and delivery is quick

cazcarol - hi, great challenge card :T

flourgirl and paddington - thanks for the link instructions, you wouldn't believe it but I did a html and javascript programming course a few years ago, but seem to have forgotten it all

New card on my blog here (hope it works :rotfl:)

Congratulations to EmmaOC for winning the challenge.:T
Sorry I missed the it (again ) I have no fairies, unicorns etc so will have to skip this one too

Can I ask - what do you ladies do your card making on ? What I mean is, do you have a special mat or board or anything ?
At the mo I use the dining table, but its got a cloth on so things don't lie flat. My cutting mat is only small so not much use, so I just wondered what you all did ?

flourgirl - sorry to hear about your shoulder and neck problems. I had similar symptoms when I had a car accident and had a trapped nerve in my neck so I can sympathise. Thanks for the pocket card instructions,I've saved them to try it

npsmama- sorry you're having a hard time - sending ((hugs))

louby-lou-lou - fab pirate card :T

Rusty - gorgeous fat card :T

Fantastic fathers day card, I love it! looks really different, did it take you long?

I make my cards on my cutting mat, its the same size as an A4 sheet of paper, Saveapenny kindly sent it to me when I first joined the board to encourage me to start cardmaking!

For all of those who have no fairy things remember there are a couple of fairy stamps on my website which you can print If you have no printer then give me a shout and I can print some and pop them in the post

Hi Hels
IF you PM with an idea of what you want I'll have a look through my papers - I've got far too many and would be happy to swap some 12x12s for something.

Hi All!

I haven't been on here in ages as I've been so busy! Just thought I would stop by and say hi because I've been over to crafty place for the swap!

I put some more images on my photobucket account http://s660.photobucket.com/albums/uu328/laurenathome/ they are in the images folder.
