Mumhug - what a gorgeous puppy, my Dad has just got a cocker spaniel puppy and the kids have fallen in love with it, I'm sure you will have loads of fun with it.
Rainbow sorry have no idea as don't have a scoring board I'm sure someone else will be along to offer some advice soon.
Have left comments on everybody's blogs some gorgeous things being made. I have been busy making 40 thankyou cards for sil wedding halfway through everything is cut just got to stick it all together now. Have loaded a couple of cards on my blog one I made earlier in the week and the anniversary card I have just made. http://dragonllew.blogspot.com/

Rainbow86 - Sorry I cant advise either I use a ruler & a bone 'folder' to score my card - at least that's what I think it's called.

JHB - Thanks for advice given to flourgirl - I didn't know how to do it either - I'm only just learning how to comment on blogs.

Flourgirl - glad you got your calendar note things sorted, they are really lovely - I may have to copy, perhaps by Christmas Eve.......

Have any of you ever used of bought seed paper.

I'd like to buy a sheet but it seems expensive so thought about doing my own.

Im gonna make some and then turn it into an xmas card for SIL. Depending on how it turns out. then when xmas is over she can plant her card and watch the flowers grow. Making the card last for as long as the flowers last.

Hi everyone still not been crafting I am afraid but today I do have a good reason even though it is off topic(sorry)
This is Izzy the 8 week old puppy we picked up today. We have been getting ready for her for weeks and after the sad event last week we decided to go ahead with picking her up. We hope she might give the kids something possitive to focus on. Hope you dont mind me posting her pic.

Aww isn't she the cutest thing ever! Mind if I come steal her? x

I was looking at this online:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260470582492&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Is it a good buy or is there a better alternative? Thanks

I have one of these and find it really useful - just make sure you don't press too hard when scoring card as it almost breaks in half!

I've uploaded my card for the challenge on my blog http://leialegweak.blogspot.com/2009/09/mse-troops-challenge.html just wish i'd had time to make more than one! Marg can you PM me your address so I can post it to you?

Thanks x
