Rusty - I love that hello stamp - I might even have to order one myself if I ever get brave to do stamping! where was it from please?

Paddington - love your butterfly stamp - Butterflies are my favourite things!! where did you get it please?

Hels - only you know the level of stress you can take so well done on making the tough decision!! I'd say just focus on your wedding & family this year and then once everything settles down next year think about what you'd like to do for you!! x

It came from Simonsaysstamp.com but I have just looked on there quickly and can't find it? they do a thanks one which I also have then they do a One love, and happy birthday one but I am not keen on them ones.

Rainmac congrats I will pop your prize in the post tomorrow.

BunBun lovely cards

I am hoping to craft, have just put DD down but it sounds like she is trashing upstairs through the baby monitor so don't want to start incase she starts kicking off!

OAP your cards are beautiful! Well done on the fast turnaround!! I am still stressing over the Trifold card for craftygranny!!!

I made a couple of beer mat calendars just. Rainmac can I ask how you attatched the magnet onto the back please? so it was secure? Also did you decorate the back? I felt I had to as mine were emblazened with JOHN SMITHS all over them :rotfl: (only cause I was too lazy to buy some so took them from work! hey I am being very MSE!)

Anyway they are here If anyone can think of ways to improve then please let me know!! ...

Back to the table to do some more crafting whilst DD is sleeping!!

Rusty - those calendars are fab!!!

Need to make a Good luck in your new job card for my friend and totally stumped for ideas - anyone seen any good 'freebie' downloads that might be useful?

thanks x

Xmas decorations?? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
Those calendars are fab Rusty - had a play about to make a cd case one this afternoon and wondered why there was so much space round my calendar pad - took ages to click that coasters are smaller DOH!
Have finally finished my mum's mini scrapbook - glad I didn't do any more pages as it only just fit in the book rings .
Have played with whispers pens and water this afternoon and even got my craft knife out - have checked and still have all my fingers so a swing card might not be impossible.
New bears have arrived!!!! And they are gorgeous - might have to buy some more
