Craftygranny - thanks for the info on papermania paper, although it looks like a bargain - I think I'll resist - too much paper for me!!

Rainmac - thanks, the sketch was easy to work with, although I couldn't figure out what to place where the long rectangle was for ages, finally I decided to dig out my big bite and use my eyelets that have been sitting there unused for months! I'm ashamed to say I still haven't done my tri-fold card yet for the challenge - hangs head in shame!

Rusty - sorry to hear that Maddison is still sick. That magnolia stamp looks gorgeous - I bet you can't wait for the set to arrive!!!

Candy - I insist that you get your card blanks out and have a go - judging from your tool belt you are very creative!

That's the problem though ... I've had years of use with my sewing machine (curtains/easy soft furnishings - although my stitching is not that straight), and had plenty of practice with an iron !!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I'd be better off on a sewing thread .... lol
I promise I will make the effort and give it a go ..... soon :rolleyes:

Candy - I wouldn't have a clue where to start with a sewing machine, I'd love to be able to make cushions etc!

Bunbun - I'm glad you haven't made a start on yours either - I don't feel as guilty now!
