Dragonflew - great summer card - I love the image of the girl in the paddling pool.
Rustyflange - I know I must be ill - not ordering those pads yet. I've got my eye on some stamps - can't decide whether to buy them or not.

Skiergirl

OAP -fab challenge card :T

Dragonllew -great male cards, can I ask where you got the fishing decoupage from please ?, lovely summer card too :T

Emma - very pretty fantasy card :T

Rusty and flourgirl you are both very naughty posting the basic grey links, I already have a long wish list :rotfl:

Flourgirl - hope your hubby enjoys his birthday

I have to finish a birthday card today and then start a thank you one. Blogger still hates me - everytime I try and post a comment it opens multiple pages and I have to shut IE down, so I can't post on blogs :mad:

Ohh thank-you Kim I forgot about those I have just looked on Rainmacs blog and I need a piece of paper 10.5 inches square.

Just to put the record straight ladies it was Rainmac who first started making the pocket cards so it's her fault we are all addicted to making them :T I only posted the instructions.

I used 10.5 inches square but I think you can use whatever size you like really. The instructions I followed said to use 11" but I made mine a bit smaller

Oooooooh I just had an email from sarahs cards and there is a new range of basic grey out, one called lemonade and another called June bug!

They might just fall into my basket as they are very pretty :rotfl:

Link here

I got that email too, saw it this morning and it took me all of errr 10 seconds to get some papers, buttons, stickers and stamps in my basket :rolleyes: I got stuff from the Lemonade range and think it looks gorgeous! My OH is away Friday - Sunday at a stag do which is costing a small fortune so I have had my own spending splurge on crafting goodies this week He can't complain after what he's spent/will spend for this coming weekend. I also have to get my boys to 3 children's parties this weekend on my own. I think I deserve more stuff

Which stamps Melissa?

Skiergirl - Can't blame me I just had to buy them ..... OH doesn't know :rotfl: nor will he! well unless they arrive sat morning!
could you not use mozilla firefox? or google chrome as your browser? I hate IE and I am not a chrome convert, firefox annoys me since using chrome and personally I think it is the best free browser out there.

Mumhug - Thankyou for my beautiful card it arrived safely this morning

Rainmac - your ATC is in the post ... Finally so I shall just wave from over here :wave:
