My One Stop Craft Challenge card is on my blog its a lovely Colour challenge. You have to make a card using "Apple Green, Chocolate and Clotted Cream" sounds good enough to eat!!

Popkins

Here are a couple of photos of the invites I'm making each with a slightly different bow - don't really like either of them!!!



and with a shorter bow...


comments & tips welcome please!!!

TomsMom

I really like the shorter bow in the second picture Popkins. What don't you like about it?

Popkins -Ooh now I like to the top one!)

Just got an email from Creative Craft world 20% off until midnight 9th Feb. (min spend £5) not sure what the p&p charges are.

Flourgirl your card is lovely.

Thanks Madfrog.

Glittermum

Wow - you ladies have been busy since I've been at work. I'll pop back properly later but wanted to say thanks for all the lovely comments on my cards and post it note holders. The acrylic stands were from here, I got A7 and they worked out about £1.50 each (eek!) with VAT and postage. I have to admit they do look lovely - but they are too expensive for the Mother's Day sale so I'll just have to wait for another fair!

Popkins, I like the short bow!

Popkins - Think I prefer the shorter bow - it looks happier (firmer) in its position (IYSWIM)

Gemma - Thank you! I really must make a note to think for myself before I ask a (daft) question in future! Think I'll watch the 12am showing I'm always wide awake when I should be asleep.

TomsMum - lovely cards - the card candy really finishes them off!!!

Jailhousebabe - I can't decide what set I'd go for - I'm sure a lot of people will be getting both. If you think one border punch alone cost about £17 if you get all of that for £30 its a bargain - even if you have to pay £6 postage which is likely with qvc.

Mad-Frog - which papers did you order???

Flourgirl - Beautiful card - everything is so well co-ordinated!!!

Popkins - your invites are fab - I prefer the longer bow - I don't know why you don't like them - they look perfect to me.

I was just going to post about creative craft world but you beat me to it Ali!!!! Postage is free on all orders it says. I buy loads of bazzill from here when she has these offers on, with the 20% off it takes it down to 32p a sheet which is a bargain considering some shops charge 50p!! She also stocks cling on sheets which are great if you have unmounted stamps - even without the discount hers is the cheapest I've found. Also she has a few packs of the new prima flowers in stock and they work out at about £1.20 a pack - I think I'll be getting a few!!!!
