Rusty - I love your fantasy card, it is gorgeous, that little chap looks sooo cheeky Bet your OH slept well last night after his huge day yesterday! Hope you and bunbun have a brilliant craft day tomorrow - I know you will! Make sure bunbun doesn't nick your bug

MrsTidge - love your pocket card, the paper you've used is fab. The card you received from lei is gorgeous! If you are interested in making some door hangers there is a whole thread dedicated to them on here... http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1028521&highlight=door+hanger. Craftwork Cards are selling blank chipboard door hangers in their sale for 25p each. Not as sturdy as MDF ones but they are fine and much cheaper!

Jailhouse - I love your Guinness card, it's fab! And what a very pretty summery card, can you not add the word summer to your already beautiful card? So sorry you're not feeling 100%, hope you feel better very soon x

Kim - I love all your baby cards, they are stunning

Hi debsy, welcome back, hope you had a fantastic time :j

npsmama - hope you are doing ok, thinking of you x

dawnteabag - sounds like you are loving your bug, we all knew you would

louby - I love your rock fairy card, it's so fab. When I was pregnant with DS2 I found sucking/eating polos or chewing gum all day helped. Also eating little and often.

I received the latest copy of the DoCrafts magazine from The Glitter Pot today, it's great (lots of ideas for altering containers ). Bit too much about Xmas in there for my liking though, I have no intention to start thinking about Xmas cards til at least the end of August

Mary is absent from the forums at the mo as her pc is knackered (a technical term I think?). She sent me a very cute card today...



She is busy making snowmen out of socks for Xmas - far too organised for my liking :rolleyes:. She said she is missing everyone and hopes to be back online soon!

Well done, where did you find it

rainmac

Sorry dragonllew, don't know where to look for plane templates. Could you find an image on the web, size it to what you need, print it out and cut round it?

Gemm85

Dawn glad to hear you are having such a fab time with your cuttlebug, I still love mine and spend hours embossing and cutting

louby lovely challenge card, very rock-chick pink

hels your nan's card is beautiful, and she'll be so pleased with her hamper


after having a play with my cuttlebug and a swirly corner die my friend lent me recently, I quite fancy some large swirly/flourish dies. anyone have any recommendations? I've had a quick look on Ebay but can't really seem to find what I'm imagining, unless they don't exist and I'm just wanting something I'll never be able to get...lol :rotfl:

Gemm, don't forget to have a look at the sizzix site in full www.sizzix.co.uk as some of these dies will go through your bug, check with sizzix, they will help you

furrypig

Nephew has his bday age 14 beg July and he is James Bond mad!

Any ideas for a card that I can make??? Thought that might be a tricky one for you all!!!

Also I am away from tomorrow morning until Friday night at a conference in Birmingham so will miss all your chatter and tips but will catch up on Friday!! I hope!
