Giggle your teabag holders are fab! Think I'll have a whirl at them, will have to tell OH to keep all the teabags from his hotel stays etc!!

Also wondered I've got a 2010 small calendar, it was in my do crafts goody bag, any ideas what I can do with it, it's quite small

Did you see the little robin calendar in the docrafts magazine??? I was going to have a go and make something similar for presents, maybe with a piccie of my boys?

Thanks hamish222 I got your email, you were up as late as me. I didn't expect you to email me last night. The image is really nice on it's own i may not deco it for quickness.

A reminder has just come up on my phone that ds has a party today. I have got to russle up a card asap, I don't even know how old the boy will be though or what he is in to, so i will have to to something general. My son is still into thomas, bob and lazy town but i think in general they are classed as a bit babyish for 4/5 year olds now they all seem to be into ben10.

OOOh flourgirl thank you so much for the link some fab stuff there. I will have a better look later when princess k is not around. It's her birthday next month and i was looking at stamps for her these and the papers will be fab. The xmas ones look really cute too.

We are having a trip to hobbycraft later to see if they have any promarkers left as my nearly dil wants some .

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

Thanks to everyone who offered thoughts on my friends Gran's card. Especially Ruty for showing me her card and skiergirl for finding the templates for me. I finally did it today but its not as good as Rusty's. Piccies on my blog

The cards are beautiful. I noticed you had a floppyness problem like me ... I did exactly like you and mounded it on a piece of cardstock ... but then I trimmed around it and still had the same card but it stood naturally on its own and was sturdy I love it!!

I am about to send you a pm

I haven't started making my tri-fold card yet, I know I set the challenge but I am very worried I am not going to be able to make one

Why? due to time? there is still a 3 way swap which could always become a 2 way swap? If you struggle let me know and I will happily do 3. I like these tri fold cards they're very pretty

I have a parcel to pick up today, not sure what it is but I am hoping that it is my doily lace punch.

Just wondering if anyone can advise if this is a good price - I have spotted the 18 sheets of the 6x6 archaic paper on ebay for 2.99 with 1.00 p&p - is that a good price or could it be cheaper elsewhere? Thanks x

Rainmac no I didn't see that, I haven't been buying the mag, I'll see if I can find it on the internet!
Ali it seems a good price to me!
