Mary - what a scary time for you & DH! So glad it dislodged itself and you are OK - if exhausted.

CT - I love the top two cards so would pay more than £2 but think it is a perfectly reasonable price to pay. It's very hard to get anything for the time you put in but if all the cards were to the same design you might be OK if you set up a 'production line' system.

Savingmummy - Welcome! Craftwork cards are good quality, and as you need 30 and I suggest you keep it simple. Depending on the size of card you get, could you just print say, a digi image on the front.

Sal - Sorry I can't help just now but there is a site that has circular sentiments you can alter yourself & print out. I'll go & see if I can find it....

So much to catch up on, I'm feeling oh so sorry for myself with a sore throat

Tomsmum, huge hugs to you xxx

Craftygranny, oh my goodness, huge hugs to you and your family xxx

Lyndach, keep talking about how you're feeling, big hugs to you too xxx

Savingmummy, there's a digital download new home kit here for £1.99, if you have printing abilities it is a cheapie way of making lots of the same card

Mary, blimey lady, are you sure you weren't just trying to get your own back for all the time you've had to spend at the big white building with your OH? No seriously , must have been so scary, very glad it got sorted quickly and you're back home xxx

Flourgirl, how's your dad today, is he coming home? Hope so x Thank you so much for the card box instructions, looks fiddly, need to leave giving it a go until I feel better I think

Dawnteabag, big congratulations to you on your win, I've been having a look and quite fancy buying one for OH for his birthday.

Rusty, I want your laptop to hurry up and get mended so you can start showing us what your robo can do x

Oh dear Rainmac I'm sorry to hear your throat is sore again, you just haven't been able to completely get rid of the lurgy at your house for a while now. No wonder you are feeling sorry for yourself, I think you are allowed :A It doesn't help with the weather being so carp. Maybe a little spendy will help!!

My Dad is home!! Hurray!! totally fixed and feeling great. I think this problem has been getting worse over a number of years and he hasn't said anything until the pain was unbearable. Mum is waiting to go for her cataracts (sp) done and would you believe it they had a cancelation last week and offered it to her!! but she could only cope with one thing at a time, they fully understood and we just have to wait a little longer, just hope its not on the Friday when we go the the NEC :eek::eek:

The box card got easier the second time, I was being more precise with the measurements to give everyone and it worked better, just need a bit of patience.

Hi everyone.

flourgirl - Glad to hear about your Dad
TomsMum & Craftgranny - sending hugs to you and your family.

Does anyone know by any chance where I can find an image of a bunny or something like that for easter cards? I did find one, printed out a few to 'attempt' to colour later but now I'm not sure its actually a rabbit that it is of lol!

mary-op That must have been scary. Glad your feeling better now.

CT19720 I would pay more than that for your cards as I think they're gorgeous but if you're doing it production still maybe that is about the right price.

Lou05 I downloaded the font from a free site. I know it's called Cygnet. gimme a minute and i'll have a look and see if i can find the link for it.

PepPop

Lou - I've found it :j Here it is here (Cygnet). I typed what i wanted in MS Word then copied and pasted it into paint.net and after serious messing about I managed to get it lined up the way I wanted and then i picked the dark red colour from the picture for it (it was the first time I used paint.net and hadn't a clue what I was doing so it shouldn't really have been as hard or time consuming as it was )

Thanks for that - it all sounds very complicated! I think I may have a little go in a bit .....
Thanks again x

Lou05 Here is a list of challenges NEGirl posted it about a month ago. Just pick the ones you like the sound of and follow the instructions

PepPop

Thanks for all the comments about my Mum and Dad - I don't think they can believe they've been married that long either (my dad is in a permanent state of shock :rotfl:)

glittermum - I'm so glad your friend liked her card.

Marg - that poem is lovely.

flourgirl so glad your dad is home and thanks for the "Daily Dare" link - I couldn't find it anywhere

Lou - if you want tell me what number you want on it and what colour you want the writing and I can do it and email it to you

Lou05

flourgirl - Thanks very much, thats great. Can I just ask a probably silly question ... just looked on a couple and you have to put your name and url to enter - do you save your card you've made somewhere different and then email it or something?! Don't really get it

PepPop - Thank you very much. I'm going to attempt it shortly (never tried anything like this before!) but its really great to know you'd do that for me if I get stuck (which no doubt I will lol!)

Some cupcake papers free here, very cute x

Flourgirl, must be great for your dad to be home and feeling so well.

Glittermum, I too would love to see your doggie card, sending your friend virtual hugs xxx

Marg, such a lovely poem xxx
