    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 added my name. Apologies in advance to whoever gets mine; I've never tried an ATC or fat page before! :o
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    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.


    Hi Padingtondoo

    Can I ask where you managed to get the scissors from as I have been wanting scalloped cards for ages

    Thanx

    Chocolate.orange - I hate photobucket too!! Your cards are fab. I love how you've done the snow on your xmas ones - and your images are so cute. I love the greens on your challenge card.

    Rusty - sorry about the links!!!!

    Craftygranny - lovely xmas card - I love all of the sparkly glitter.

    Ckcockcroft - lovely cards, I really like your tilda stamp, and your papers are so pretty!! Hope the race for life went well.

    The_wife - fab xmas card, those xmas papers are gorgeous and I love your image. I don't know why you're not happy with it - its lovely. I had some flower soft but i couldn't get on with it.

    Saveapenny - gorgeous xmas card, I love how you've made an envelope to match - it looks so professional.

    Lei-armstrong - great "thank you" card - I really like how you've done your "thank you'.

    Furrypig - fab card, its so clever how you've constructed it - I would never have thought of doing anything like it.

    SallyUk - I meant to give some boxes of cards away last year for presents, but i never got round to it. I planned to just decorate a few shoe boxes and pop them in there. I've just bought a load of square card bags from ebay.

    Dragonflew - gorgeous teacher's giofts - I'm sure they will love them.

    Rainmac - ooh - your crumble sounds fab!! I love crumble but I have to put loads of cream on it.

    Paddingtondoo - lovely card and gorgeous teachers gifts. I love the idea of giving them matching notebooks and boxes.

    I got them from our local factory shop - I now have some with small scallops (no idea where they came from think I nicked them off DD) and these ones with bigger scallops - they're dovecraft ones if that helps
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    craftygranny - I love your poinsetta; how did you do that from a stamp? :confused:

    It's a medallion stamp you stamp out the image and then cut out the layer you need .Then you fill in with glue and then glitter . I can send you one in the parts you need if you want to give it a try. Or anyone else does. sounds more complicated than it is
