Looking forward to the new series of 24 starting at 9, anyone else a 24 fan?

Me me me!! But I'm waiting for it on DVD Just watched season 7 this Christmas in 7 days - it was awesome! So really want to watch season 8 like that too So no giving anything away!

My scrappers block temporarily disappeared yesterday and I produced a 2 page layout for my wedding scrapbook. Am really happy with the pages. Will blog them later.

I need to start making the odd card, as I want to make a card box with different cards in (birthday, anniversary, thank you etc) to give to MIL for a Christmas Present. I thought about sticking a planner to the inside of the lid so she can write peoples birthdays down for each month. Include a pocket with some stamps in. And get some return address labels made for her! What do you think?

Saucy - glad to hear that you and your bind-it-all have made up and are friends again!!! I still haven't finished the mini scrapbook for my friend - I'm going to see her in a minute - I'm really annoyed with myself that I didn't manage to get it finished.

Gemm - your pink filing cabinet looks fantastic - perfect for your pink craft room, love your scrapbook page too!

Paddingtondoo - your cute bear challenge card is fab - and that bear is soooo cute!!! Your Aunt's card is lovely - everything matches perfectly, great sailing and bear hugs cards too.

Ct19720 - sounds like you great a great bargain with those buttons.

Rainmac - your box/easel card is beautiful - I know your Mum will love it!! Are your boys back in school?????

Lei-Armstrong - lovely card - your colouring is fab - I love how you've highlighted areas with your white pen.

Helping_Hubby - sounds like a fabulous idea for a present - I'm sure she would really appreciate it.

That sounds like a great present!!! I was thinking about giving my MIL a box of cards for Mother's Day but think I'll save it for Christmas and make a planner like you've suggested

Giggle, was it really 10p for a Christmas tree? Wow!!!

Skiergirl, so sorry it doesn't lookl like you will be able to come to the NEC, if there's anything you'd like us to look for please say the word x

Boys are back to school/preschool. I have half an hour before I need to go pick up DS2 from preschool. Hopefully it's all getting back to normal!

I'm after some help if I may please.

Has anyone got any Cinderalla themes images - ie the horse and carriage - it's for someone who wants this on the front of her wedding invitations - she mentioned having maybe the image on the front of the card and a pocket style thingy where they pull out a part with all the info on - only thing I can think of is doing a pocket style invite?

She was thinking of silver and white.

I was looking for something that I could maybe print out and then put onto some contrasting card to save on all that cutting out!

But maybe you wonderful ladies have some better ideas?

Help! lol
