Thankyou all for your comments on my notebooks, they were really easy I don't know why I haven't made any before The letters I used were Basic Grey and the loop for the pen was made with a piece of grosgrain ribbon stuck down with strong DST and covered over with a piece of matching card. The green and pink one I stuck it on the wrong side :mad:

Just a quickie (not supposed to be on here - too much research to do!).
DD and me would both appreciate the pen being on the left-hand side of the notepad - we're both lefties so it would be much more convenient!

Thankyou for all the comments about my scan. I will give them a ring tomorrow

Flourgirl I think they look fab, thanks for the info RE lettering. I think I either need to buy a pretty diecut alphabet or buy some lettering! ....

I would like to say a huge thank you to Melissa for the gorgeous cards and notebook she sent me - they are all lovely and it really was very kind and thoughtful. I am not sure I will be able to use the notebook though as it is far too pretty!!
I made my tri fold card for Melissa today and I'm afraid all it is fit for is the bin. It looked so good in my head too! sorry melissa I will have to re think it and start again tomorrow.

Rusty go for the scan- tell them your MSE 'experts' told you, you have to have it and they have to look after maddison!

flourgirl- it's not wrong it's left handed- perfect for me!

paddingtondoo- i understand the pain you are in. i've had 3 injections in 1 year and still pain- what an ill lot we are!

big thanks to debs for my swaps, and to rainmac for posting my card on her blog x

Of course.... it's a left handed one... should have remembered there is no such thing as wrong in crafting just an unplanned creative opportunity:D Should have read my signature

I made something and posted it on blog, then went and made trifold card for craftygranny (yes I am happy with it!!! lol) and now I am about to start with your ATC ... then I will move onto something else!

Flourgirl - I'm a leftie so it looks 'right' to me too. I think Padster is left handed too.
How lucky to have a granddaughter who wants to be with you even though exhausting! My Mum used say she loved her grandkids 'cos she could hand them back when she'd had enough.

Kim - So glad my card arrived before you went on hols - have a brilliant time - I'll put a pic on the crafty place later. I printed the paper - can't remember just what it is but can send you some if you'd like, it's A4 size.
