Gorgous photos of Elliot Melissa, can’t believe he is 5 months old.

Louby-Lou-Lou – hope you get on at the hospital OK with you little one.

Gemm – good luck using the sewing machine. I’ve got one and made blinds and curtains on it, but never actually used it to make a card – not sure I can sew straight for it to work on a card, but I love the zigzag effect you sometimes see on cards. Well done on your win.

Glad to hear you are feeling much better Mary.

Palema – sounds like you got a fab bargain with your baby toppers. The cards you have made are fab.

Jazabelle – fabulous cards, absolutely love the first one with the flower in the middle and the backing paper you have used.

Sal – hope you manage to get a diagnosis for your OH soon. Good luck with his CT scan on Wednesday.

Great cards on blogs, think I have commented on them all.

Here’s my entry into TomsMoms challenge – been wanting to use this butterfly for ages and wondered how I could. I really like this card, and will be doing more.

This is my husbands entry into the challenge – he has taken you literally! I think it was some time last year that Rusty made a card like this on the computer.

HAHAHAHA!! your OH's card has brought back some memories!! I just went digging to find a picture!! ..... for anyone who is wondering what my card for OH was like last year here is a pic!! :rotfl: (sorry to those who did see it first time round!)

Lovely card CT, and your OH's card made me laugh! Looking forward to another entry from him.

That is brilliant Rusty. Love the fact that it's got a use by date :rotfl: .

Thanks Rusty. I love it, but did the first time around when you did it, which is why I remembered who did it! I have a rubbish memory most of the time, which I blame on having kids!

Wait till you get older, then you'll blame it on the menopause, after that you'll just blame it on getting older :rotfl: .

Ooh, just realised. My DD is 40 next month, she also talks about forgetting things - in between making fun of me forgetting things :rolleyes:. I think I'll make her a "surviving 40" kit. First items in will be pad and pencil to jot things down which need remembering . Anyone got any other suggestions, I really need to make her suffer :rotfl: .

Withoug sounding rude, you act so young!! I would never have imagined you had a dd who was almost 40 :eek: I presumed you were my age !!

as for making her suffer ... you could adapt this to suit

lei - if your Grans critical is there someone you can complain to and make sure she gets seen ? Its disgusting that she's being treated like that x

Thanks for your PM. I know it's awful and my Aunt keeps kicking up a huge fuss, which seems to be the only time they do something then it all goes quiet again. She's been paying private insurance too longer than i've been alive but they keep giving us excuses of why not to transfer her! x

Lei - At hospitals there is usually some kind of union/complaint place generally run by non hospital staff, you need to put in some kind of complaint!! Hope you get things sorted soon xx

Definitely going to look into it as it's been crap so far. That card is brilliant - really funny x

I shall take that as a compliment, thank you. I never really grew up see . Also, life's less stressful when you kids leave home. I get on great with my 14 year old grandson, I can get down to his level very easily, something his grandad can't do :rotfl: .

That is brilliant. Mind if I pinch a few of your ideas? Oooh, ta!

It was meant as a compliment! ... take what you need, I borrowed a couple from other places, I did the first one for my FIL from the children last year on his birthday, they loved it so much have done a few more which they paid me for :eek:
