flourgirl, can you remember about three/four weeks ago someone posted a link about circle sentiments. I think you could adjust the size as I was thinking about using something like that with the circle nesties. I tend not to use the three smallest one very much and the circle sentiment look really nice. I know you can get rubber stamps but I thought I would have a play.

If you're going to invest in any set the most used of mine is the plain oblongs, they seem to fit lots of stamps.

Excuse em whilst I butt in here

My OH made me a grid tingy in word which has some sentiments in, I printed it out and can use my 2nd smallest nestie to make my own circle sentiments that is the MSE way. I can email this to you if you would like? You can also edit the words in there and the font etc

Happy Birthday Padster :bdaycake: Hope you are having a fab day x

Kaitlyn, thank you so much for the beautiful card and pressie - I am going to tuck into them tonight whilst making some peg magnets

Louby, fab teabag holders

TheWife, lovely cards on your blog and Ben is very beautiful :j

Rusty, sorry about the dishwasher , something in ours got blocked and OH sorted it out - thank god - and it has been fine since, touch wood x

I've been to a meeting this morning for DS2's preschool about their Christmas fair and I sort of volunteered to organise getting raffle prizes :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:. The lady that did it last year raised over £1000 and had fantastic prizes such as a brand new Sat Nav. I've told them not to hold their breath for me to do as well

Hope everyone's ok today x

Get yourself registered on freecycle and ask for any unwanted gifts/gift sets for a school fair to raise money. Some people will help, others won't but hey it is all free apart from a small amount of petrol to pick things up

Also contact local companies and ask them if they would be willing to donate a prize etc

If that's okay with everyone we'll do a halloween/ monsters/ scary card challenge then. I was thinking of finishing it on Mon 19th as I was going to offer some halloween goodies as a prize - then the winner has chance to use them before haloween!

Rusty - I'm really sorry about your car - and now your dishwasher. My washing machine broke last month and I had to wait 3 weeks for a new one!

Rainmac - that stamp is gorgeous - really cute. I have to admit at the minute my "thing" is stamps - I'm building up a little collection.

Sunrise - sorry about your car problems too.

Nannyboo1 - hi, and welcome to the thread!

Sunshine - welcome to the thread too!! I tried stamping a few years ago and hated it - I just didn't like the effect. Then a few months ago I tried again and now I can't stop!!! I think it makes a difference if you have decent pens/ pencils to colour them in with, well it did with me anyway!

Flourgirl - great halloween card - did you want to enter it for the challenge???? Sorry about your toe!

Sally - crikey - that's an expensive school trip - where are they planning on going? I doubt many parents could afford that!

Bunbun - congratulations!!!!

Lucy Lu - massive congratulations on doing the zip wire - there's no way that I could have done it! What did you buy from Alexandra Palace????

Louby Lou-Lou - sounds like your Mum isn't a hobbycraft fan then!!! Great tea-bag holders! Good luck at the hospital tomorrow!

Paddingtondoo - Happy Birthday!!!!

The_Wife - gorgeous card - I love the flowers, and your Hannah card is fab too!

Polly - stunning xmas card - red is my favourite colour!!!

Melissa - can I just clarify something - is it a Halloween card for the challenge or a monstery (?) birthday card. Its just I have a birthday card that I have done for my sons friend whose birthday is on Halloween and a bit monstery?? Thanks - sorry to be so thick!:o

melissa75_2

Ali - its a halloween card or a monster card, I thought I'd give people a choice in case they didn't have any halloween stuff! So your card would be perfect!!!

I just wanted to tell you all about this blog:
http://stampingsharing.blogspot.com/
she makes some lovely stuff and is always giving away goodies, and she's holding a free card making event in Essex soon!
