Amazing cards as usual - I've commented on your blogs. I've just added a new crad to mine http://leialegweak.blogspot.com/ for my boyfriend's sister who's bravely doing a parachute jump for charity on her birthday this Friday! I ordered her a funny parachuting themed t-shirt but was gutted to be told today they are out of stock so have a day to find her a present!!! x

Your card is fab, good luck to your b/f sister, rather her than me

Here is my stitched card for the challenge - I think it's more like a notelet because it's quite plain. It's my first attempt and too late I realised the needle I was using was like a poker! I used a ?papermania? template & my own embroidery thread but it was calming to do so I hope to do some more soon using plans sent to me by flourgirl. THANK YOU!
This is a card I made for my brother & SIL's wedding anniversary (the one where I managed to put the last layer on upside down) so I cut the front off the card & stuck it on another blank. It was a bit thick (like me) but better than no card at all I thought.

I've read all your posts & checked out blogs but I'm sorry it's too late to comment I'll try tomorrow......

Lovely cards Marg, I love the stitched one, I've recently used the same template, it's very pretty :T

Rainmac, my boy behaved today so the task is done and your postie should bring you something nice for the weekend. (oo-er!)
