Unfortunately you can't order the summer club anymore cause they are already shipping it!

I am mostly potty training this week but hope to have some crafty efforts Ideally I would like to get my challenge cards done, although the one on craftyplace with the 1 colour is impossible not sure how you can just use one colour and nothing else :eek:

Hi all

I just wondered if anyone was still joining in the creative card crew challenges?? Not heard anyone mention it on here recently. I actually did a card for this weeks challenge (shock horror!!) the theme was weddings.

Worked out well for me as I had to make one for a friend at work. Anyone else done it or tempted to??? i am just nosey!

Hiya Furrypig - how do you go about joining in these challenges? Its just that I've actually just made a 'wedding card' so thought I might give it a go! thanks x

Dragonllew gorgeous cards on your blog, the messy rabbit one is my fave. DH would like the areoplane one best as he's a flying nut (can't spell enthusiast!)
Good job when we live on the flightpath to an Airport!

Lovely stamps Rusty, I'm looking forward to seeing them on your cards. Good Luck with the potty training, at least its good drying weather for all those little pants. When I was childminding I once potty trained 2 at the same time and my washing line resembled a string of bunting

I'm pleased I'm not the only one struggling with the 1 colour challenge, does it mean we can only use plain papers ie no printed patterned paper?

I am being nurse today. My little boy has chicken pox! he is really bad they are on his fingers which have now swollen to double their size and the spots keep bursting all the time which is really sore. i feel a bit helpless really as there isn't much i can do for him. He keep crying when i try to put cream on. He is lying on the sofa watching tv while i am sat next to him on the lap top.

I hope he has a nap later and i can get some crafting done. i really want to get a move on with the rustys challenge on cp it ends soon doesn't it. I have my grans and mums bday cards to do and thats it for this month i think.

Is there a keepsake board with butterflys on? brothers wedding has a butterfly theme so i would like to make them a card to do with butterflys.

I haven't been keeping up with the thread this week sorry, what is this weeks challenge and when does it end?

I don't envy you flourgirl ... I enjoyed potty training with DS as he was easy ... it just sort of stuck out and away he went ... with girls it just dribbles down there legs and goes everywhere lol plus she is scared to use her potty so will hold it in and several dribbles later she finally gives in ... I have a rudey girl running round the living room and yesterday we bought her a big girls fifi toilet training seat which she is really happy with the washing is all done so I am armed and ready to wash up all those little accidents

I read the challenge as using whatever you like as long as it is all one colour ... i.e if you have pink paper with a deeper shade of pink on then that was fine! but this is the one I think where we send it to saveapenny and we have to guess who's is who!

Sorry to hear about your little one Hope he is feeling better soon, I remember when both mine had it ... DS was fine, he has quite a few spots but it didn't bother him and he was old enough to understand (5) but with DD she was 6 months old, I didn't sleep for 4 days solid, I went through endless amounts of batteries in he swing as she wouldn't go in her cot or seat and I couldn't sit and cuddle her all day as she was in so much pain the only thing that kept me going was knowing that it wouldn't last long and relying on OH coming down to visit me at the weekend (was before we lived together) I have never to this day seen chicken pox so bad as they were on DD they were in her mouth, eyes, up her nose inside her private bits and everywhere
