Hello everyone - just wanted to apologise for not sorting out the summer challenge for kids yet - I have been having loads of trouble with my eyes and can't really manage more than a few mins on pc an hour.
will be back as soon as I can.

Just received my stuff from Joanna Sheene including the paper lace. I have just had a go at colouring it with promarkers and it works a treat

Awh Flourgirl that's brilliant, I ordered the paper lace and about 8 pro markers! can't wait for them to come!

Marg

Flourgirl - Thanks I was getting a bit paranoid about it! Can I please ask which paper lace it was you ordered I went looking for some (I'm a copycat) but could only see the paper that was printed with a lacy design. Is that it? it was very pretty.

Hels pm on the way.....

Dawnteabag - I've not entered challenge so it's not my place to say but I'm sure I speak for us all & say your eyesight is far more important - take care & hope you are soon better.

Boss coming must go........

OOOh just remembered i bought a new fairy stamp a week or two ago might have to have a go at this. not really got a clue how so i may have to shout for help if i get one done .

We did a bit of stamping with free seethrough stamps the other day that we got from the front of magazines. I got quite upset as the silly fairy ones just wouldn't stamp properly and I thought it was just me being really crud or something...until we tried this month's bear stamps from a magazine and they were *so* easy to stamp.....

So just to let you know if you are clueless for the most part like me... if there are free stamps on the front of a magazine have a feel.... the thick feeling ones are definitely The Ones To Get First hehe

...although I paid through the nose for some Smirk ones a few weeks ago... and I couldn't really get most of those to stamp well either.... so maybe it's that I'm crud at stamping *but* the free bear ones were being nice to me hehe

...who knows

myz i had that problem with some expensive stamps i bought from funky kits tried loads of inks and nothing worked not 1 decent image. Bought a jet black Impress ink pad think it was recommended by melissa and they stamp like a dream every time with that. Very strange.

I ordered the lace too and was going to try and colour it with Promarkers, so glad it works

I got my kraft paper from Craftwork Cards, 25 A4 sheets for £1. Here

So sorry to hear your work story cgcockcroft, make sure you look after yourself as well won't you x

dawnteabag, hope you are ok x

Mary, you are not a batty old woman :rolleyes:, you are a clever, kind-hearted soul who is a dab hand with all things crafty

Marg, great idea to keep the challenge going another week :beer:

EDIT: fab cards on blogs by the way...!
