    craftygranny - I love your poinsetta; how did you do that from a stamp? :confused:
    saveapenny - what a gorgeous Christmas card. Your figures look like chipboard rather than paper?:confused: The matching envelope is inspired. :)

    I think I'm up to date now with blogs, so have commented on cards and gifts there and won't repeat myself here. :p

    Flourgirl - that's a great idea to combine the two suggestions

    Furry - I never knew you had a blog! :o Sorry, I don't know how that passed me by, but I am now a follower!
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    For the next challenge should we combine both ideas and make a Thank-you card (furrypig) with embossing on (lei_armstrong). Cards would have to be completed by Monday 27th July.

    That's a fab idea, didn't think of that :T For the people who aren't able to emboss - we don't all have cuttlebugs you know :rolleyes: ;), could they submit a thank you card without embossing?

    Come on furry, can you run the challenge for us...?

    I'd missed Furry's blog as well - glad it wasn't just me :D.

    Just a quick reminder that I'll be drawing the pairs for the ATC / Fat Page swap on crafty place on Wednesday so it's not too late to join in ;).

    I've been busy today have made 2 teacher's gifts - for July CP challenge.
    Secret card and another stamped image folder - pics on my blog.

    I think I've finally lost the plot was trolling up and downstairs from the spare room with my craft stuff as I threw my teddys out the pram on Friday and put it all away and spent yesterday sulking (that will teach OH to say the house looked like a s*** hole - he actually meant the kitchen floor which needs replacing as does the lounge carpet :o) and he offered to put me a desk in there so I would find it easier to craft. When I said but you'll never see me he said he would make sure I knew when I'd been in there long enough - so I politely declined his offer as I would prolly get less peace than I do now - plus running up and down the stairs keeps me fit :rotfl:.

    Great idea for a challenge - wonder if I have the thank you embossing folder........... think I bought congratulations instead :p.

    I'm still a nestie free zone and bought a pair of scissors with big scallops today for £1 so have crossed the scallop border punch off my list as well (for now :rotfl:). So hardly spent anything this week apart from the my mind's eye cardstock.

    Rainmac, I am popping a secret suprise in the post for you tomorrow, so please keep an eye out for the postman :)

    Fantastic idea for the challenge, hopefully I will have some crafting time tomorrow :)

    Sorry I haven't read back through completely, we left the house at 10am this morning to go to butterfly world with the kids, and FIL, MIL and SIL1 were invited to join us ... the place was brilliant although only small ... we came out and ended up driving to whitby for the afternoon! :rotfl: didn't get back til late and we need to be in bed in the next 5 mins for us to be up at 3:30am for OH to disappear off to work again!
    I promise I will catch up with blogs tomorrow or Tues.

    Choccy I am popping something in the post for you tomorrow. :) you already know what.

    Paddingtondoo the noisy pens are winging their way to you tomorrow aswell :)

    Saveapenny I didn't get a chance to post yesterday or friday so it is being posted to you tomorrow :)

    don't think I have missed anyone? not sure though sorry I am sooooo shattered after today!

    Rusty I think I can guess your secret suprise;) it crossed my mind too x

    Rainmac I was thinking about the embossing for those who dont have a cuttlebug, most of us have embossed card in our stash even if its only the bazill swiss dots. If anyone is short of it I can always post some to them. x
