Rainmac - congratulations!!!!! She will love your stuff.

Jailhousebabe - great cards. I love the papers that you've used to make your pram and the lace looks so pretty. The papers look fab with the forever friends image too. Your ribbon challenge card is gorgeous too - I love the way that you've looped the ribbon. And your nesties card looks lovely.

The_wife - fab xmas card. Your snowman is so cute.

Bunbun2 - hope you calm down - your card is lovely - the colours look gorgeous together.

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.

You say that, but I mentioned to my sister that I use this site and one day I got a shock when she turned up on this site on my Birthday thread in the Arms :eek: Not to worry you, but they do have internet access in hospitals these days! :rotfl: Great cards by the way.:T

bunbun your card is gorgeous!!

I am after some inspiration now..as always, I need to make a card for a little girl who is going to be 4, I made a decoupage one last year which see loved, I just fancy doing something different?

One of the mums outside school stopped me this morning and asked if I'd make a card for her, I felt obliged to say yes but I've been feeling sick with worry about it! I've made a few cards for another mum but she's a really close friend and I always say to her that she doesn't have to use my cards if she doesn't like them, well she's gone and shown most of the other mums now! I'm just so worried that they will think my cards are rubbish, I'll be worried sick for days over this card now, she want's it for Wednesday, it's a baby boy card

Beautiful cards JHB, I love the baby ones. Had my haircut today and my hairdresser has twin girls, they are now 8 weeks old. Absolutely adorable

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!!

Gorgeous card The Wife, I love it :T

Well done!!! The mum wouldn't have asked if she didn't want you to make one. Have you got ideas for a baby card? The pram like Jailhouse made looks gorgeous in any colour
