Oooohhhh I'm intrigued!!! What is it, what is it??? I think you could set up a new topic in Competitions, Challenges and Blog Candy Offers. If you can't do that, mail me and tell me what you want you want the thread to be called and I'll add it. If you would rather it be a swap you could add a new topic to Card Swaps (I know you said it isn't a card but can't think where else to add a swap where we make stuff?). Does that make sense???

I will send you a PM rainmac, see what you think rather than just going ahead and posting it up.

Fab card Dragonlew
Lei your ATC is lovely!
Right back to the pocket card... I haven't got square cards as I've turned into a scalloped girl! Can I just use normal 12x12 and cut it down to size?

Evening ladies - lovely cards as always! Hope all the dads out there appreciated everyone's efforts! My boys made the ones for DH- maybe I should put them on my blog!

Rainmac - welcome back. The baby cards are gorgeous, your mum friend will love them I'm sure.

Rusty - your mojo certainly seems in top form at the moment - fab cards! I love the star paper on one of your Fathers Day cards. It would be perfect for the Poppycraft little Space Boys - can you remember where it is from?

Dragonllew- your unicorn is so cute!

Well, I have managed to get some time for cards this weekend. Here's my one for the challenge - sort of fantasy anyway! I was thinking along the lines of Brad Pitt/Johnny Depp but thought I'd better stick to princesses!

Yep you can do that! I used A4 card and made my own square cards 140mm.

phew, have just caught up on blogs, have left everyone comments over there! Have spent today catching up on the hoovering, washing and ironing, along with cracking on with a cross stitch project which I've been neglecting recently whilst watching the F1, but have also managed to make my June card swap card and organized my stash swap for crafty place :j

Got the day off work tomorrow as we're having some garden stuff delivered in the morning (slabs etc) so as I've been soooo good with the housework today I'm going to have a nice crafty day tomorrow whilst OH is banished to work on the garden :rotfl:

hope everyone's been having a good weekend, Rainmac glad to hear you had a great holiday, I was looking at your pics on Facebook, your little lads are sooo cute

and rusty good luck to your OH starting his new job tomorrow, hope all goes well for him!!

Thank you - I cheated and printed a quote off the internet as it fitted perfectly!
