Blimey I have a day off and have too much to drink and fall asleep in the evening and it takes hours to catch up :rotfl:.

Big hugs Saveapenny - make sure you look after yourself or you'll have us lot to deal with!
Congratulations hels - what fantastic news!

Was this the bear rainmac? He looks gorgeous. I really mustn't order anything else for a while...........................
My wild asparagus and bloom and row papers arrived yesterday - really need to use them but they are far too gorgeous to cut.

Dawn...your welcome...You just need to download Pando its a small program but great for file transfers, The file I sent is valid for a week but if it runs out just let me know and I will send it again

Im so pleased I finaly made a card last night that didnt go in the bin
I cant post it becuse its for the Funky Fairy's challenge for next week
This week they have only got 1 entry so If you have time to do one its worth it for the free download if you win
Its a nice simple sketch

I've spent this morning working on a card for this challenge; cut out and matted my squares with stamped images on, printed off FF paper to use as the backing - then realised I don't have a card blank tall enough to cope with my images!
Oh well, back to the drawing board...:rolleyes:

JHB...save wasting it ...why dnt you just do it on paper it will look the same for the camera...then mount it on a card when you get one

That's a good idea saveapenny! I didn't think of that. I've just started on another - so maybe I'll enter twice.

Rainmac - I remember seeing those stamps and thinking they were really good value - I can't remember what they were called either. I've had a look and I can't find them anywhere. I did find these though and they seemed good value:

Cazarol - I was thinking exactly the same thing about your pocket card. I finished it last night and was thinking of attaching a strip of card to the back to make it stand up - but I'm frightened I'll bodge it up!!

I've added a card for the Funky Fairy challenge to my blog. I think I'll have to give crafting a miss for a few hours now; I can't shift the headache again today and I've managed to mess this card up by sticking bits on wonky!

Jailhousebabe - I agree with you - it definately should be fairies!!!! Your image doesn't look wonky at all, but I know what you mean - I am always sticking things on wrong and it drives me crackers!!! Your card is beautiful - I love your background paper.
