it wasn't as bad as I expected and there were no tears.

not sure why it has been cancelled...I think Colin Baker probably has other commitments but it would have been nice if they had put something on the website

How did you find out? Did you get an email?
Meh Colin wasn't the best Baker Doctor anyway

Help please - I've just opened the pack of tri fold cards I bought the other week and found that the front is not as wide as the rest of the card by about 3 or 4mm, they are Papermania ones and all in the pack are the same. They weren't cheap.
Question - Should they be like that or have I picked up a rogue packet?

mine are about 1mm narrower, the inside bit is about 3mm narrower. not sure if they are supposed to be like that or not - mine were cheap so assumed that was why - sorry I'm not much help really am I?

Marg - I got mine from Hobbycraft (own brand) and theirs are the same. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be like that, but I got mine for stitched cards and so that bit is on the inside on mine so it doesn't matter. HTH

I think it's to do with paper size because and A4 piece of paper isn't quite 30cm and if you score your own the centre is 10cm wide and the two outer flaps are slightly smaller like you describe! x

Rainmac -thanks for the coaster calender idea for teachers might have a go.

I've never been so busy making things since joined this site had a go at making flannel raindeers today as well as cracking on with cards - not sure if Rusty is to blame for that idea popping into my head from another forum!!

You know when you ladies do your cards and you have the lovely flowers on - where do you get them from? Been into the works today having a look at their card making things and nothing there (dont tell hubby I've been looking again) at least only looking no elves have reached me yet!!!

I haven't managed to get hold of any 'in my price range' (i.e. cheaper than cheap lol) til now so never used any on cards- saw some here yesterday- they are small but look quite nice?

Hels - Well done on the new job! ... and wjat fab exciting idea about a hen night at the NEC ... I reckon we should have some sash type things or something!!

Rainmac - BEautiful calendar not had chance to look at blogs yet!

Paddingtondoo - you did it on purpose ... the posty pushed a note through the door saying I have a parcel to collect ... and the delivery man for a parcel company left another at number 26 ... but I haven't worked out where that is yet :rotfl:

Craftygranny you are soooo cheeky :rotfl:

Polly - Of course I have forgiven you!! If you want to make me a card then feel free, I would love that Lovely LOTV card

Dragonllew - Have a safe journey and a nice time

BunBun - Why has it been cancelled?

Marg I think my trifold cards were the same and were slightly smaller on the front? mine were cheapy home bargain ones though?

Choccy - I will hopefully get to speak to you later on??

I think I have remembered everyone, sorry if not .... you will all be so impressed at my stamina!!

I couldn't sleep so my early night ended up at 12:30 getting off the computer ... I was still awake at 2am ... then DD woke me up with a bounce on me and shouting wakey wakey mommy go get tom!! only problem was it was only 4:44am!!! and she wouldn't go back to sleep ... we left at 6:45 this morning and I have been back a whole 30 mins.... the kids are fighting and arguing and I am so tired I am just ignoring them ... they will stop eventually :rotfl:
