lovely card Ali, I have those papers too they are so funky

furrypig welcome back briefly and have a good time wherever you're off to next!! I'd feed your cat and rabbits - but the commute would be a bit much I'm afraid!

I'm planning to go to the NEC in November too :j haven't got my ticket yet but have booked the thursday and friday off work in preparation!

Thanks for the link rainmac, I've just ordered my ticket for the NEC.
Great card ali, I love how you've done the handle of the handbag.
polly - I love your cards. I don't think the fairy needs anything else - I'll keep trying to leave comments on the blog!
furrypig - you sound like you're having way too much fun.
louby-lou-lou - sorry forgot to comment before, love the unisex baby card. Have you done many craft fairs before? Do baby cards sell particularly well?

Hubby is ok thanks, he fell down a big hole while out running :rotfl:thought he had broken his ankle. It can only happen to him as the hole was filled with nettles and he lay in it for 10 mins before he could get out:rotfl:
I shouldn't laugh he is in alot of pain.

Anyway here is my late night effforts it would have been better if i had more time. It is an A4 size card so need to look in the house for a postal size envelope to put it in.



and the insert


Just got to wrap their hamper and take pics for the hamper board now.

jailhousebabe, i do craft fairs selling my nappy cakes and baby gifts but do a load of cards to take as well. I also get my mil to do some and i sell hers for her. I have sold a few but people need the baby to be born to buy one and by then they may have got one already. Where's the gifts i sell they can buy before the baby is born.

Thank you for all the kind comments . The stamps are personal impressions ones i bought them in hobbycraft you get 2 girls a boy and 3 sentiments for 4.99 thought that was a bargain . One had a man with spanners and stuff in for the boy one and the other had a fisherman the other girl is wearing winter woolies.quite a decent sized stamp too.

Rusty - thanks so much for hosting the picture for me;) Thank you also to Rainmac for sending me the paper. Any ideas how I can improve would be greatly received.

I also thought hubby was getting sick of me always being on here - but he took me to Hobbycraft this morning and got a few bits and pieces - craft knife etc. (although I think it could have been cheaper on internet:rolleyes:) - wont complain though!! Result:rotfl:

Furry - Glad you are ok & having fun - you need to make the most of the good weather & time with your loved ones has to be grabbed with both hands - we'll still be here in the winter (I hope)!!!! Sorry I'm too far away to do pet sitting/feeding otherwise I'd love to do it.

Ali - Love the handbag card especially the handle.

Craftgranny - the wardrobe card is fantastic - didn't notice the stitching 1st time I looked.

Got to go ........back later to catch up properly
