Hi all, having a quick catch up - the boys are back at school - yet I was more organised when they were off !! How has that happened??

The Wife- your mothers day card is beautiful - but can I ask a daft question, when you have the flowers and ribbon on do you have to make your own envelope or will it fit in one that comes with the card - iykwim - worried about putting too much on cards incase it wont fit in, but when you see cards like yours its beautiful.
Melissa - been to vote for you. Fingers crossed.
Rainmac - all your makes are beautiful - the colours you choose are always gorgeous:T

Been and updated my blog with my latest duckling cross stitch.

I love your cross stitched chicks, they are gorgeous! You would probably need an expandable envelope for a card like Thewife's or could make a box so nothing gets squashed?

Melissa I've voted for you. Off to blog hop now.

ali I'm going to make a box for it with a couple of sheets of Bazzill card stock, fingers crossed we will see MIL this year on Mothers Day and be able to give it to her personally.In the past I've popped a card like this into an envelop but not sealed it, Bubble wrapped it and then put it into a padded envelope with a cardboard board support, looks a bit untidy in the envelope but they've usually made it unscathed.

Please can I ask, has anyone seen a challenge called SEPIA, where the colour had to be sepia tones, I was blog bopping last night and for the life of me I just cannot remember where. I thought I'd give MIL's card a try.

Rainmac - your creations are fabulous!!! Love the subtle colours on the Tilda cards and that ticket stamp is fab!!!! I'm sure your M-i-l will love her card/box - it is gorgeous.

Ali - your chicks are so cute and so is your DS!
