Well done OAP, sound fab, looking forward to seeing what you make with your prize:T

Louby I can't help with the image, sorry. When you placed your order did you get an automated email reply that said if you have this email it means we have your order

Can you hear that noise Rusty - tis shouting pens :rotfl:. They're gorgeous colours maybe I'm just vintage .

Fab card flowergirl.

For those of you struggling with your mojo I have found a couple of blogs whilst hopping:
Mojo Monday
Lily of the Valley
and Funky Fairys has a gorgeous sketch this week - they also need to drum up some challenge entries as they were a bit thin on the ground last week - they also have oodles of free papers on the inspiration blog.

Look at that - 4 links and no spend necessary

And finally - I'll be drawing the ATC/Fat page swaps on Crafty Place later today so it's still not too late to join in - we beat last month's number of swappees already :j

My Calico order came today, I can't believe I got so many flowers for so little ££!!! All my cards now need to have loads of flowers on them

The Wife, your Thank You card is stunning, can I please ask what size card you used, I love the cutaway part on the front x

Flourgirl, have left a comment on your beautiful blog, your Golden Wedding Anniversary card is gorgeous :A

I have just picked up an order for wedding cards today - 190 cards :eek: Goodness knows how I am going to get through that in the next 2 weeks with the kids off

I have just got my invoice from calico, i am still not impressed as it does not state what products i will be getting just the amount to pay which is less than my order so i know i won't be getting some things. They put a note on the invoice saying that they did try to contact me today to offer alternatives, although the phone has not rang, i rang 1471 incase i did miss it but no one has rung since yesterday and there is no message on the phone.
Still a very good find gemma and great prices for what ever i do get.

Did somene mention flowers? (rainmac) I used some on my challenge card this week:



Its a Cuttlebug swirl background with some poppicraft flowers & buttons. Writing is courtesy of my cuttlebug alphabet set 'Olivia' finished off with handrawn white shading.

Wondered where your Funky Fairy cards had been last week's was a nightmare to use 4 papers . - can I pretend I'm you and do them :rotfl:
This fortnight's challenge is an embossed thank you card so you were right on both counts
