Sorry to hear there is sickness in your housefold Rusty hope you get well soon nd get crafting again as I love seeing your fab cards!!

I agree with Popkins I had one look t Saveapenny's challenge and had no ideas which card was which!! If you think it will help this is my blog http://chattycraftyartypig.blogspot.com/

Well done JHB on yr win I love it when people over here win competitions!

Will try and update my blog soon with a couple of cards, made 2 today but need them to reach the recipients first of all before they go on view!!

well done JHB...another winner on Funky Fairies
My DT card is on the board now...Thanks to Rainmac for posting a great link
Popkins use any mean of detection you can

What a gorgeous card saveapenny - don't think I can cut accurately enough for it to work properly
Sorry you feel awful rusty - are you crafting with a carrier bag hooked over your ears to catch it? Just make sure it doesn't have any holes in the bottom did that with a Mr T's bag for DD in the car once and ended up with it dripping down my neck when she passed it over - I had to change in a layby :rotfl::rotfl:

Hi ya
I am fairly new to all this stuff but am hoping to keep it up I started a whileago but all the things I got overwhelmed me and was stuck on Ideas, I watch alot of youtube tuts and alot say what punch sizes ect, I have been on ebay and raoming the web for not so pricey circular punch so I can do eyes and things for my daughter to do some xmas cards this year :0)
if anyone knows a good place to get them the sizes ( i am clueless )
1/2 inch circle punch
1 " circle punch
1 1/4 " circle punch
1 3/8" circle punch
maths wasn't my strong point at school !
and when I have finished I will post my pics :0)

Sorry to hear about your cat Hamish - I remember crying so much when I heard my dog had been run over. They become family don't they?

Well done JHB on winning the challenge! I keep meaning to enter so think I will give the next one a go.

Rusty - I have some pink body shop bath lillies you could have if you aren't dead set on red! I work for the body shop at home (occasionally!) and we an buy them in bulk. Let me know!

I'm working on challenge cards and my nieces scrapbook at the moment. I got an email saying my craft superstore order is on it's way so can't wait!

www.artymiss.co.uk has a reasonable range of punches and have 20% off everything at the moment, postage is quite steep though

lovely cards dragonllew and leia :T

sorry to hear about your cat hamish, hope he gets better soon xx

woohoo well done Jailhouse on winning the FF challenge!! :T

when I got in from work I was a bit annoyed as I was following my neighbour down the road on my way home, and he went and parked right outside our house where I usually park, even though there was loads of space outside his own house. I am convinced he only did it cause he saw me behind him :rolleyes:

Then I got inside and found a note through the door from Mr Postman to say there were 2 parcels waiting for me inside my bin cupboard!! my craftwork cards order of scalloped card blanks, rub ons and yet more card candy - and I also received a flourish die set that I bought off ebay, I was so excited I had to go and make a card straight away

Hello everyone and congrats to our resident comp winners.
I'm on my second commissioned card this week! It's for someones nan who is 88 and apparently likes to garden or sit watching people out of the window!
I have to make sure I get the word 'Nan' on it but apart from that have no instructions. Does anyone have any ideas?

Dawnteabag, I tend to cross stitch cards for my nan. She used to work in a clothing factory making trousers so appreciates the handiwork in stitched things. How about a bunch/bouquet/basket of flowers with a tag saying 'for nan' or 'nan'?
