Dawnteabag - glad you rescued the car, but sorry about your washing machine not being delivered. They say things come in threes, so hopefully your luck will change soon.

Mary, hope you start feeling better soon.

Glittermum - thanks for the link to the freebie image, it is really cute.

Thriftyscotslass - good luck with the diet, I'm sure you will be doing all you can to not have to do the forfeit!

Great cards on you blog Furry, love the thank you cards, and impressed that you have managed to do so many. Can I ask you or anyone else who may know, how do you add a link to enter a challenge on 'One Stop Craft Challenge', so that you are able to have a link to your cards, bacause I can't see a hyperlink button to press like I would here (hope that makes sense). I've just added the card I made last night because it has a butterfly on so qualifies for the 'B' Challenge this week, but can only get my comment to show my full blog address, and not say something like - here's my entry so when you click on here's my entry it would take you to my blog page.

Can anyone tell me in simple terms how to do it. Thanks i'd be very grateful.

EDIT: I managed to find out and for anyone else who wants to know, the answer is you need to type -
<a href="your blog post address">here's my entry</a>, where it has "your blog post address", just copy and past the URL from your blog, so mine would be:

<a href="http://ct19720.blogspot.com/2010/01/another-card-using-craft-robo.html"&gt;here's my entry</a>

Hope that makes sense and helps someone else.

Disaster - my laptop has died in very mysterious circumstances - absolutely no power. Hopefully it's the power cable rather than the machine but will have to get another to find out! he other pc in this house is in the study with Dh so I may not get much chance to pop on for a few days.

Have a good time everyone!

Thanks

Thanks for your response Wam. That is what I usually do when posting here, but on some of the challenge blogs, when you want to enter a card they don't have an add link button! I have found out what you need to do and edited my post above to let others know, in case they have/had the same problem too.

Evening all!
{{Hugs}} to everyone who is in or under the weather .
Your OH must have done well to get home Rusty our relations in Banff have sent us some pics and it's thigh high on their farm!!!

You need a medal DTB - if that had happened to me I don't think I would ever drive again! I was such a wuss yesterday that OH took me to work in the morning. Our lane is like a sheet of glass this evening so if it snows any more I won't be able to get the car out to go to work on Monday :T.

Have put some new stuff on my blog - there's a link on there to a freebie from a new digi co called bugaboo stamps (bears for anyone who's interested ) and loads of other stuff.

Gemma - have you seen or have I been dormant & missed that you won a subscriber prize in Card making & papercraft? Page 7 if you haven't spotted it already.:T

you haven't been dormant Marg! I knew about it before Xmas but didn't want to say anything on here, as I've won a few crafty things recently and didn't think I should mention yet another - you'd all think that I had been fixing the contests somehow :rotfl:
