Rusty,Twinks and Dragonllew sorry you are all under the weather again, I think we all need a nice sunny holiday
Padster thanks for that photography link its just what I needed
Dragonllew that 40th card is lovely you did not need a template it looks just fine
Mumoffour my must haves are my bug and embossing folders, nestabilities and promarkers and any paper pads cos I have an incurable illness called "need to stroke beautiful paper" itis

I went into the funky kits shop just to get some bits for the challenge prize but naturally I came out with some more promarkers and another TH distressed ink pad OH says we are not walking the dog in that direction again:rotfl:

Just wanted to pop my entry for OAP's challenge.

I hope I am ok to combine it like this?

I used
1 patterned paper (DCWV Guy stack yes my spensive papers!)
1 embossed paper - Cuttlebug embossed under picture
1 plain paper - Green cardstock which has the sentiment mounted onto it.
3 buttons - courtesy of our own lovely Marg!




Just wanted to show a close up of my buttons, I couldn't find anything I could thread through so I chopped the metal wire of the flowers I have and pushed that through!! I thought it looked dead effective!! ... Can I have links for things I can push through buttons to look pretty please?

I have blogged my card for OAP's challenge. I didn't think I'd have time to do one but didn't get to do what was planned for today so did a card instead!

Rusty Sorry to hear about your toothache, nothing worse.

Twinkle Hope your Drs appointment goes well, you certainly shouldn't be having so many repeats of the pneumonia and pleurisy, I hope they can sort you out.

Mumoffour Enjoy playing with your new toy!

Popkins Glad your ProMarkers have arrived, I'm sure I'm falling in love with mine!!!!!!!!

Not sure if I've missed anyone out, sorry if I have. Off out with the girlies tonight so might not get on, depends what time I'm back.

Just a couple more I have made, I blogged my challenge card
I made another one similar to the MSE challenge card but I made it smaller and added something different.
I also made a yellow sunshine card.
Then I made a blue fairy one!!

Wifey Congratulations

For those of you that commented on the shape of my punch on my blog, thankyou, this is the nestie I used.
I think my OH's got the wrong end of the stick - instead of me spending money that he doesn't use on crafty stuff that he's spending my crafty money on a new piano!! :mad::mad:
