Dawnteabag - could you not use the same idea as I used for my FIL's card? the gardening basket? Here

Ooooh Rusty that looks perfect. How did you make it - did you use templates?

Awh Melissa he is gorgeous!! I think I'm starting to feel broody! He is soooo sweet! The cards you've had are stunning and so is the nappy cake!
Rainmac your teabag holder cards and post it note holders look amazing I wish I was coming to your fair!
Skiegirl lovely cards on your blog!
OAP you will recieve a little parcel off me in the morning again I'm so sorry for the delay! The mumji dolls are so cute!
Paddington I was so close to ordering from Landy but just happened to call into a local dressmaker who had the perfect dress there for me and it was £60 more than what I would have been paying with Landy so for peace of mind I went for it I'm going for a final fitting on Monday and of course I will be sharing pictures with you all, you'll be the only ones (apart from my mum) to see it! Awh I so wish you could be there on the day!!!:rotfl:
Saveapenny has been very busy making my wedding invitations!

OAP - well shows that I don't know what's hip anymore then if I haven't heard of those dolls!!! I was a little bit worried that my youngest son Brandon would be a bit jealous, but he's been so lovely - I am so proud of both of them. When I took Brandon shopping with me to the Asda before Elliot was born he kept going to the george department saying he wanted to buy clothes for the baby.

Skiergirl - there's some great cards on your blog! I love your gardening one - and the baby one looks very familiar!

melissa - I've been away to see my now adult offspring - what a surprise to see that Elliott has at last arrived:T
Sorry, couldn't send you a card so hugs and best wishes to you both. He's a total gem :j

Errr yep I do!!! Doesn't happen all the time but sometimes I can sit surrounded by card, paper and other bits and have no clue what to do with any of it

Hiya Rainmac
I have made a card for the challenge but haven't posted a pic as it has not been received yet. It was sent first class yesterday so hopefully it will be there today or tomorrow so I will post a pic over the weekend.

Had a go at the Cp card challenge it is so hard!!! Go over to craftyplace and have a look even if you're not in it it is great fun to have a guess (and it you have any clues let me know!!!LOL!!)

Just lost my long post!!! B* computers! Here's an edited version

Furry Is it you that's got 4 right on the CP challenge? I managed 2 one of which is mine!

Rainmac - my baby card is made but I can't show yet either. Have I got till tea time on Monday? I have another to do, so, if that's finished in time, I'll show that one.

Clarissa - I never have inspiration until the last minute! I even go in card shops looking for ideas I can (sort of) copy! Sad!
