It still won't let me see the blogs Marg, so I'm off to bed and I'll have a look in the morning.
Goodnight all..............

My stupid computer keeps going bonkers and deleting stuff that I've written on here - aaahhh!
Craftygranny - I had those papers but I think I gave them all away - I'll check and see. I've got the matching chipboard shapes if anyone wants them - I found them the other day and I'll never use them!
Melsharpshooter - my OH's a prat - he never reads instructions and ends up shouting at the object - I normally have to step in and finish the task for him. He's even worse on the xbox - he's killing zombies at the minute!!
I wasn't expecting a visit from my Mum for a few weeks - but she's coming up tomorrow now and bringing me a couple of my craft orders that I got sent to her house. So tomorrow I should be getting my xcut guillotine, my corner rounder punch, and some more basic grey paper pads - wisteria, lime rickey and ambrosia - ooh - can't wait!!

Ooh I brought the Fantasy papers they other day they're lovely! If you've got the matching spare chipboard shapes I could definitely make use of them and don't mind paying p&p or swapping?!

Npsmama -Ooh! I love Chester! but I'm sorry I don't know it that well - if you find anywhere can you let me know for next time I go? We usually have lunch in a little cafe behind the cathedral then do as many of these as we can before exhaustion sets in - Habitat, Laura Ashley, M & S, Slaters for DH, Lakeland Plastics, and on one memorable day had a boat trip on the river! See I'm rambling too.......

Thank you to everyone for all your help. I think i definately need some now. melissa craftwork cards do some bags that are 160 x 160 which is a little bit bigger as the blanks are 148 x 148 but leaves a little room for embellishments etc on them . They are here code PPBGS6

The fruits of my labours, a group shot, I'm quite pleased in the daylight. A couple I put purple feathers on but soon got fed up with being sticky.
Anyway here they all are 14 cards and two notelets at the front for friends in the UK, it lets them know I'm still alive. :rotfl:


:eek: two are hiding!

wow THE-WIFE you have been busy! they are really cute. did it take you long. Well i was so ill i went to bed at 9 so i didn't get any cards done so i either have to make one this morning for my friends lad or just buy one. i haven't really got the time to make one as my bro's is more important, then i have got a new baby one and it's mothers bday card to do for sat, a fathers day one for FIL, a 3 tier nappy cake to make and presents to wrap. Ds to look after get his home work done for pre-school this pm and generally tidy the house as got family over. WHY! Got parents evening tonight too so nothing will get done then. I had better get off herre and get down to it.

Morning ladies hope everyone is ok?

Flourgirl - my oh my Mrs you are in trouble, I was dreaming about making these pocket cards last night, I really really enjoy making them!, the only problem is I know I don't have enough DST left to make any cards today so unless I can find the energy and pop enough pills to let me walk around Boundary mill to their craft section aswell as drive up there then I can't make anything Love making them, thankyou ever so much for all of your help!


The Wife - Wow they look really pretty, Rather you than me making so many the same though lol have left comments on your blog

Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who sells paper lace please? or is it easier/cheaper to buy some thin fabric lace and use that?

The-wife - gorgeous cards; I'm not able to post a comment on your blog right now but wll try to remember to do so later. (What is it about blogs that makes them so temperamental?)

Melissa - I don't know what you've been using previously, but the x-cut guillotine is fantastic! It's definitely made cardmaking easier for me - the only thing is, I can now cut straight but I still can't stick things down straight!

Rusty - are you still in that much pain? Poor thing! I hope you can get something sorted out soon.

Louby-lou-lou - shouldn't you be taking things easy? I'm exhausted just reading about everything you have going on!

EmmaOC - aren't you bored with OH yet? I thought you'd have been back on here by now!
