Morning all well its our first proper day of the school holidays and its 12 o'clock and there has been no tears, strops or arguing yay!!! The kids are doing well as well - lol :-)

Can I swap or DS is in danger of being put up for adoption:eek: I need to get him to the caravan for everyones sanity but it will be at least Thursday before that happens. Going to try and sort some craft stuff this afternoon to take with me to the caravan for the summer. Can't take everything so I think I'm just going to print off and stamp things to colour. Who does quick delivery please on promarkers at sensible price?

Hello everyone, first time I have ventured onto this thread so apologies if I have spoken out of turn

I know wedding invitations aren't exactly cards (well they ARE but not in my eyes haha!) but I'm really struggling making the ones I have in my head without them looking ridiculously stupid! Can anyone please help me where to start or maybe point me in the right direction if I am in the wrong place?

Thank you all in advance!

Hello I'm sure there is someone on here who can help cos we are a very friendly bunch. Are you able to give us anymore ideas about what you want your design to look like i.e. a description or a link to one you have seen that you want to copy.

Thanks for the swift reply.

I am looking for something like this as we're having a slightly movie themed wedding. Colours are black, white and red, so I was thinking about the outer being red and white polka dotty maybe as my bridesmaids are wearing polkadot

Found this for papers - but there must be a free one out there somewhere
and this to do the ticket bits.

Have you seen these though
don't know how many you need but seem fairly reasonable

Lovely cards on your blogs,Melissa and Elysia ,put mine to shame.:D
Blogged my one this morning,trying to find if it will fit in anymore challenges.
Been to Poundland this morning, good job I,m not on a stash ban,:eek:got 5 lots of their craft making bags,lots of handmade ,and mulbury papers in them along with loads of push out letters and numbers,lots of embellishments,coloured card,lots of crafty stuff I can use,really good value. I actually cleared the shelf of their craft making bags,there was only 5.:T:T
Then went to homebargains where I picked up a card making box complete with 40 cards /envelopes and 4 packs of embellishments inside [£5]
also had packs of paper flowers for 12p each so got a few of them as well.All in all a great morning was had by me,legs are aching now though,need a rest before I start crafting tonight.:D
Hope every one is fine today,congrats Rainmac on your win ,hugs to all who need them.

:j:j:j They're FAB. I need 30-40 so the price is better than what I've seen I can make them for:money:

Toms Mum - just checked out those exhibitors - have seen Oyster stamps at a show and from memory their stall wasn't very big -
Horseshoe crafts has lovely stuff but just check the prices first
Mei flower is fab - loads of embellies charms and ribbons - the radley dog ones I got at Doncaster came from there
Little Claire is where I got my paw print punch from
Dimension Fourth does fantastic unmounted stamps

PS take plenty of money :rotfl::rotfl:
