Rusty - hope you dont mind me asking but a couple of pages back you did a tri fold card with dinosaurs on - could you let me know where you got the paper from - as I think my son would love it and it is his birthday in September. Many thanks

I think someone has already answered this, but the papers are from Basic grey Archaic. They are all very pretty but I do have the 6x6 pad

Gemm - Sorry to hear about your cat Sending you big cyber hugs and cyber choccy

Mrs Tidge - Welcome home Did you have a lovely holiday?

Rainmac - Thanks for the swappees

Craftygranny/Kaitlyn - What a talented little girl! the card for both THE-WIFE abd flourgirl are absolutely beautiful!

Paddingtondoo - Eek Did you catch all of them? how did you manage it?? rather you than me! Glad you had a good weekend away

Kim - Lovely baby cards. I love that kind of baby card, but I have never tried it. (have bookmarked the link, thanks rainmac)

Raimac thank you i thought you knew she was only nearly 4 she has been by my side since birth and started off just playing with old stamps and chopping scrap paper on the paper trimmer. She is very proud of the fact that she can stamp by herself .She sits like a parrot telling me what i have to put on her blog. Her teacher at nursery was very surprised at the confidence she has when they do crafting.

melissa she has been working on jennies card for ages. It took me over a week to find the right template it had to look like the one on jennies blog. I have a few hat templates but couldn't find this one and none of the others were good enough. I had to cut it out and help her stick it on. Then i left her to it with 5 packs of bling some were like strings of beads and others were like gem motifs but she took ages lining them all up. I'd have chucked it at the wall ages ago i hate anything fiddly. She just did a bit now and again until it was finished.
It is rather blingy and i must confess there aren't many bits of bling left lol. She is very proud and i don't blame her she was really patient doing it.

Craftygranny these are the papers I have used for the princess card you can also buy the matching stamps. I love Imaginisce papers they are such good quality and the colours are fab. I have just got my order for the christmas papers and stamps today, they are so nice I dont want to cut them, just stroke them

oh paddingtondoo no offence but i'm glad i don't live next door to you i am absolutely terrified of birds they totally freak me out. I can't even look at pictures of them without shaking . i'm a real wimp. Did you get them all back in safely? .

paddingtondoo

I think they're all back in now - didn't find any stragglers - I used to absolutely hate birds as well but someone had to feed them when OH was away so I made myself do it.
I still hate it when they fly round my head and there's rather more in there at the mo than I'm comfortable with - fortunately they're in a shed right at the bottom of the garden so we don't have them flying in the house

Oh my, I can't believe Kaitlyn is not even 4 - she is one talented little lady - with a wonderful Granny!

Gemm, so sorry to hear about your cat. It's so sad when they have to leave us.

I didn't get round to any cards tonight - I think the boys are still on French time (a gorgeous camp site in Royan Mel - we were in a caravan of course, I'll only camp for weekends...!) and didn't want to go to bed, then I realised that we had no real food in the house so spent the evening at Mr Ts.

Mel - Elliott is just gorgeous. I was wanting to check if you received a card from me - I sent it before hols?

I did make some Christmas cards in the sunshine on holiday and as I never use the traditional colours I can enter them for the CP challenge. My new camera dies though so will have to borrow DHs. I actually have a load of pink paper - I think it was DCWV Rose Tinted Christmas that I actually don't really get on with if anyone wants some - I've got a pad so can split a few sheets for anyone who fancies it.

Night night all.
