Kim_Possible - glamour dust is definately going on my list of what I must get next. I've got silver glitter glue - but the sparkly dust looks so much better - it'll come in handy for xmas cards!

Melissa it is better than glitter glue as its more glittery, just seems ive a problem sprinkeling it on. the bottle has a hole size of that of a tomato sauce bottle iykwim- tho i think ill try like someone on here suggested use a salt/pepper cellar to sprinkle.

Evening ladies!

Firstly a big thank you to PLM - I got my prize today and it's all lovely. I was even inspired to tidy my craft desk after opening it!

Hobbycraft for me too - I only bought 1 pack of you know what (pastels) and then got home to find out I'd already got 2 of them! So if anyone needs pastel pink and pastel green let me know!

I've finally managed a card for the stitching challenge ( and am being cheeky and using it for the CP challenge too!). It's on my blog,

Polly - I think your card is just lovely. I'm another lover of glamour dust too - I'm covered in it today as my 3 year old was glittering!

Craftygranny - your new stamps are fab (I've PM'd you too! - or will have depending on how quickly you read this!)

Ali - love the handle on the handbag card. Very creactive.

Furrypig - glad your having a lovely family time although I don't envy the packing and washing - I still haven't caught up from hol and we've been back a week!:o

NEC wise Thursdays are fabulous for me to escape somewhere on my own.....it would be lovely to try and meet up with some of you.

Skiergirl - lovely card and lovely picture. I bet your in laws love it. PM me your address and I'll send some images too. I've got a couple of Bellas that I love if anyone wants some done?

Myz - fab cards - you have been busy.:T

my pressie arrived from PLM today as well - OH had a real roll eyes moment as he couldn't understand why I was all happy and bouncy.

Thank you ever so much!

Padster - I know exactly what you mean. My husband is the same - I'm sure he's just humouring me most of the time when I talk to him about all this!

We hired a skip to clear the garden not so long ago and he kept "joking" that he was going to fill it with my crafting carp as he calls it - I had to check when I came home from work just in case :rotfl:.

He will quite happily sit on the bench outside Papermill shop in York though - comes in handy for carrying as card is sooooo heavy :rotfl:

Hi, I'm looking for antique pink coloured A4 card, about 20-30 sheets, have been searching all afternoon! Does anyone know of any good card suppliers on the internet?

Edit: it would be a bonus if the card was textured in some way. Thanks.

Not quite sure what colour you mean but have you tried the Papermill Shop?
Other than that loads of places sell Bazzill which is textured but it's usually 12x12.
Core dinations is also gorgeous and textured but also 12x12.

The links are both for great suppliers that deliver really quickly :c)

edit: just seen the pic of your flowers - monitor colours are hard to match so you might be better going to a real shop or mebbe just order a selection (any excuse!)
