I've just made my parents christmas card

Myzdamena - your card looks great - i love your image - is it from a stamp or a download????

Zoelikesjam - welcome to the thread, sorry I can't offer you any advice - the only die-cutter I have is the squeeze and I've never used it!

Craftygranny - lovely calendar - love your little doggy.

Dragonflew - happy birthday!!!

Rusty - how did it go at the florists?? Your nappy cakes look fabulous as always!! Your son looks so cute in his uniform.

My crafting buddy has been to play today and some of the things I have been making are on my blog.

We both had a lovely day and decided we should craft together more often.

SalesAdmin - I'd go for scallops on the basis that if 'push came to shove' you could draw a circle yourself but you'd never draw scallops?:rotfl:

The wife - Did my ATC arrive please? Posted it Friday afternoon Sorry to ask but I'm paranoid & convinced Royal Mail loose my parcels on purpose!!

Dragonllew - Your forces cards arrived yesterday - Thank you

Flourgirl - Thank you your forces cards came today. Thank you so much for the gift of a pretty card and glittery peel offs. I want to play now but it's sunny here so I've got to do the garden while I can.

Marg it has arrived safely but I haven't opened it yet, thank you but will do in a mo as I want to catch the natural light.

Big Big and bigger thanks to gemm and rainmac, my parcels arrived today.

Will be back

Hi Melissa,

I have to wait now ... which is the horrible part! The ladies in the florist said they were beautiful and really unusual, but the owner who is a bloke said he wanted me to drop them in and then he would speak to the girls when I wasn't there .... I know from my SIL who used to work there that one of them can be a right cow so hopefully she won't mind!. will have to wait and see.

Good evening all you brill crafters!

Could I tag along for a bit of help and advice?

I am planning to make my OH Birthday card this year and family Christmas Cards too - I have loads of stock in!

Anyhow I have got in some post its and clips to make post it holders and I would love to make to coaster calenders to use up some papers and flowers etc. All the examples on here look fantastic!

Just a quick question - could someone point me in the direction of where to get those calenders from? Are they buyable or printable? They look the perfect size.

I have access to hobbycraft and all the usual supermarkets/wilkos etc if they are from there. I can't wait to try and make them as they look so brill, any tips or are they are straightforward as they look?

Rusty your nappy cakes are always so gorgeous, they would be fools not to stock them. Women can be so bit*hy sometimes and 9 times out of 10 its pure jealousy. Your little boy looks so handsome and so proud of himself in his uniform. Maddison looks as if butter wouldn't melt she is such a cutie x

Rusty - I'm sorry I meant to reply to you before about the charms but I got completely sidetracked!!! I can't remember where I had seen some on offer, but like paddington I bought quite a few from ebay, the bundle that you bought looks like a fab bargain. I'm sure the florist guy will snap up your cakes. I walked past a new birthday cake/ sugarcraft shop today and wondered whether it was worth popping in to see if she'd sell some of my cards, trouble is I've no idea how much commission to offer her!!

Flourgirl - you have been busy - lovely creations!!

Sunrise - really pretty, delicate shaker card!!
