Rainmac said she would do the draw on a Tuesday morning, I think it would be a good idea to make this a rule, then it gives people who work during the weekend a last chance.

So if we say the challenges end on midnight Monday and the draw is done on Tuesday morning, when the new challenge will start.
Do you all think this is fair?

Yep that sounds good and looking forward to furry's challenge :j

I am feeling a bit shaky as I have been into the new florists that's opened near me and got talking and I have an appointment to take some samples of my 'stuff' on friday :eek: They are interested in nappy cakes and maybe cards. OMG I have so much work to do to get ready

Wow rainmac, that's brilliant!:j Good luck.

I've added my CCC challenge card to my blog, along with the 1st card made using my nesties.
With sister safely esconced in hospital (ceaserean booked for next Monday) I think I can safely share the baby card I've made. I don't think she has internet access, and I'm fairly sure she doesn't browse this site!


Here's a card I made last night using the same papers - I love this card , probably my favourite yet:

Oh dear! The colouring on the image doesn't look this bad in real life! Although I probably could have let the ink dry a little more before colouring.

whoo hoo. Sounds great rainmac don't know why your worried they should be
snatching your hand off. Your stuff is brilliant.

jhb beautiful cards the baby one is so different it's beautiful. love the ff bears too.

Just had a call from calico crafts thought they were gonna tell me they couldn't do mine cos you lot had them all lol. They just rang to ask would it be okay to send a couple of different ones as they were doing the stock check and had run out of some . phew 58 flower packs on their way . now how to break it gently to o/h or do i tell him about the other order for craft stuff i got coming instead . lol

Well, I gave myself a darn good talking to about trying a bit harder so here's the latest creation and I am quite pleased with it. I am not entering this for the challenge though but I am chuffed that I managed to use some of the hand made paper I had, the background paper is from a free Crafters Companion cd. Its a lovely shade of blue. The star has a reflection from the flash on the camera, I thought it was summat else!!
