If you're happy to wait until they come back from holday for delivery there's free p&p at Indigo mills
Some sale stuff there too including basic grey romani and blush mini monograms for 75p.

Whilst I'm tempting you, I forgot to mention yesterday that there are basic grey alphabet stickers and mini monograms in the sale at Craft Superstore - think they're 99p each. Might be worth a go if you're ordering something else otherwise the p&p might makes costs prohibitive. I bought the cupcake 6x6 paper pack for £2.50, then A LOT of stickers and embellishments for 99p each. was using the 15% off code anyway so they worked out at £2.12 and 85p respectively.

Love2craft - welcome to the thread.
Rainmac - I know I better get a move on!! I haven't even got the cot yet - at this rate he'll be sleeping in a drawer!!! My Mum's meant to be bringing Leo's old cot up that's been left in her house - but she's dragging her feet about it.
Rusty - fab cards - I really like the scalloped edge aroung your images - is the shape done with your cuttlebug???

I have finished the 5 cards I needed to make for my baby card order... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/2009/06/baby-cards-for-order.html. I am going to charge £10 for the 5 cards. Do you think that's reasonable? I am really panicking as I know the buyer but don't know her very well. She is a mum from school and I'd hate her to feel obliged to buy them but thinks they are awful. Going to take them to school on Monday, wish me luck please!!!

Fab cards Rusty!!!

Melissa you are sooo unorganised lol the cots from Ikea are good, we have a cotbed from there and its fab have had the side off it for just under a year so she is actually in a bed but it is still her cot

I used the nestabilities in the cuttlebug to make my own scallop circles. I have all of these http://lh6.ggpht.com/JLowe54/SA1oIMiwpzI/AAAAAAAAFOU/YvX7jJClEos/DSC02163.JPG?imgmax=576 so just use them in the bug they're fab ... and just to prove how fab they are I have just made this :rotfl:



I made the card stock itself out of bazill card then did the rest of it OH likes this one aswell

Oooh your cards are pretty!!! I love the little hands and feet, and I would never have thought of using a scallop circle for a pram!! how very clever!! I must try that one!
I reckon your prices are fine but are you making something on them? they look very expensive Good luck

and thanks

rainmac your baby cards are absolutely gorgeous and at £2 each she should snap them up. I love your style of card - the colours and the way you put them together...there is just something about them! good luck but you won't need it! if she doesn't want them I want to know why!!

Rainmac - gorgeous cards - I know she'll love them!
Rusty - sometimes I am super organised, then others I am useless! Beautiful card - I love that shade of blue, and your swiss dots embossing looks fab.
