Flourgirl, I love that link to the boxes!!! .... well done on your 1000 post

Choccy hope you get better soon xx

Dawn erm ... it was from a magazine, I still have the magazine and I know it was also online on the website, I will have to have a look in the morning as I know the magazine should be in the garage and I can't risk trying to get in there on a night as it is so full and OH isn't here to hold a torch for me!! ... I will look in the morning if thats ok? love the baby card!! and the other one aswell but the baby card really stands out for me, its so pretty!

Flourgirl - that box looks fabulous - thanks for the link.

Rusty - Welcome back, you could try selling your stamps on UKscrappers - I've never done it myself, but that way you wouldn't have to pay the ebay fees.

Bunbun - hope you have a fabulous time.

Dawnteabag - fab cards - I love your cute nappy embellishment.

I am prob too late for the challenge but here is some baby cards. I am in the middle of doing loads for my craft fair. I am trying to do some all the same for speed and less mess but it gets a bit boring.



I haven't been to this store yet but i have been told it is really good for craft items with good prices and weekly offers. it's called the range if any one has one near it maybe worth a look. Here is a list of the stores.

Think I overdid it @ weekend - now got a sore throat - hope that isn't how piggy 'flu starts.....a chap I work with is having chemo don't want him to get anything from me....

Skier girl - I don't use a craft knife as such but I have a small 'stanley' type knife to prise & lift things with. I have a tiny pair of scissors (like nail scissors) for fine cutting that I got from Tesco and tweezers that match. Both very reasonably priced.

Rusty - Glad you had a good time @ Legoland & and extra day with OH!

Bunbun - Disneyland Paris:j Hope you all enjoy!

Mary-op - I spend too much time 'thinking' about what to do & not enough actually doing, especially like now when I have a lot to do @ once.

Louby & Dawn - pretty baby cards.

Yay Rusty's back and had a brilliant time at Legoland :j :T :j :T So glad you had a fab time, crafting can wait, family time is far more important Are you up for setting the next challenge after Gemm???

Bunbun, I am so jealous, I want to take my monkeys to Disneyland Paris, I went the first year it opened (I was 17 I think and it was my first holiday without my m&d)

Dawnteabag, fab cards, have left comments on your blog xxx

Mel, so glad Elliot is being good, my two were both babies who liked feeding every 2 hours during the night, bless them :rolleyes:

Mary, your stuff is always beautiful, I am a thinker too and know sometimes I should spend less time thinking so I have more time making

Marg, hope you're ok, rest your voice if possible and drink lots of water xxx

Skiergirl, I do use a craft knife but not often (prefer scissors). I've got an X-Cut knife.

Louby, your baby cards are lovely :T, I added you in for draw for the prize, winner to be announced in next post...

I am feeling loads better, transformation happened yesterday afternoon somehow. I am still very tired but I can now think straight which helps I made up 3 nappy cakes last night for my fair on Sunday, just need to wrap them and make/add tags. Also made my dad's birthday card, not quite what I had planned but time is against me now so the cross stitched card I was going to do will have to wait till next year Pics will be on my blog.

Ok, the winner of the baby card challenge is...drum roll please...

Skiergirl

Can you please pm me your home address and I'll pop the parcel in the post to you.

Thank you to everyone for joining in, we had 21 people enter cards :T :T :T

Just realised the downside to my upstairs craft room is that my pc is downstairs. Never mind - just posted a baby girl card and a pocket gift card on my blog.
Welcome back Rusty! I was wondering whether you had a template for that gardening card you posted a lin to.

You need to get yourself a laptop Maybe there are some comps somewhere to win one???

Have you seen these gorgeous new bits from Pink Petticoat?
