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.

That's really lovely, qwiksave, I love the colours!

skiergirl this is a shapeboss. They are really good once you get used to them i have a scrapboss which is the same thing but does 12 x 12 papers .

marg sorry to hear your homecoming wasn't very good. You'll need a holiday to recover from getting back fom this one .

melissa i can't believe you only bought 30 odd packets either lol.

Skiergirl you are very welcome, I hope you have a thimble :rotfl:

Marg Welcome home although it seems like you came back to a nightmare.:eek: I hope you get sorted out quickly.

Just been to school to see Willows concert, it was lovely, I always feel like crying when I see the little ones singing, they are so cute and some of them look far too small to be at school. Her teacher is only 21 and it has been her first job but she is leaving to go to a job nearer to where she lives. I made one of Rainmacs Teachers Survival Kits and Dragonllews Blackboard card for her and Willow said "grandma she'll just cry when I give it to her" and my DIL pinched the blue thank-you card to give her too. The class have had a collection for a gift from them all. She will be sadly missed she is so lovely. So thanks to Rainmac and Dragonllew and I hope you dont mind me pinching your ideas but they were fab!

Ooh I was catching up with Dawn Bibby on QVC and have fallen in love with coredinations chocolate box cardstock. It is gorgeous has anyone seen it on offer or cheap anywhere????

Not sure I will be able to buy it now but may save up for it or ask for it as a pressie sometime, please let me know if you see it anywhere

thanks xxx

I got some coredinations card on my last trip to Ally pally - I'm not really sure what to do with it so it's still in my card stock box.:o:o I'd love to see anyones examples.

Rainmac - 380 bows OMG! I've PM'd you too!

Flourgirl - it sounds like you've done a fantastic job with your teacher pressies. We had sports day today,there's a little boy who can't walk properly and he has calipers on both legs but still joined in with the races with a huge grin on his face - hardly a dry eye on the field!

My goodness Rainmac - I was just thinking Lordy 190 cards & now you're talking about 380 bows Lordy Lord!!! if that was me think my patience would be wearing a bit thin by the end of it!!! Brave lady!!

Have also managed to put some photos on my blog of a few cards I've been making...
