Pink-winged...I havnt used them but I have mooched trough the site before and it alwyas looks good to me
I like that there is a good forum attached to the shop which suggests they run things well

Pink.

Thanks again saveapenny. :A I had a look round the forums and took the plunge and ordered some bits and pieces....mainly flowers and ribbons but the prices were cheaper than my local shops and p&p for the whole order was only 80p. I'll let you know what I think when they arrive.

Pink - sorry, can't show you all as don't have the camera/scanner etc. to do it (maybe just as well............lol)
Anyway, brief description..........I used dark blue card and cut some textured white to go across the bottom (supposed to resemble snow) - put a little car on the snow with a bag of pressies by the side and little santa in the car..........another car driving off through the sky and I did a sort of message thats supposed to look as if its tied to the car on the snow that says 'Santas coming'.
Hope you can imagine that somehow.................hard to descibe these things sometimes................lol

Me too and it sounds fantastic. You don't sound old enough in your posts to be a grandma!

Pink - thanks for the compliment..............the kids I foster don't think I look my age (god bless 'em for that) - well, not quite anyway................lol

Right seeing as there isn't any challenges at the moment, I can post some of the cards that I've done recently (very sorry guys, but I only have time to do cards that need doing and not challenges)

I don't think I ever posted the Father's Day card I did

Pink.

Great cards savvy! The fathers day one is my favourite...I hope you saved it for next year. How did you do the hand and foot prints on the baby card?

ps how do you get four pics in one post? :D:p
