Wonderful creations, I must work out how to enter challenges as seem some good goodies to be had. Mind you the closing dates are pretty short.

Tired Mom i think there was a typo on the site.. Most challenges that are out there last for a week. CCW that The-wife and myself are with is 2 weeks this time . All you have to do is use Prima ( flowers ) on your card or LO. If you make a card for that or any challenge you see and want to join in with. Then blog it.. One of us will come along and give you a helping hand.. I myself havent taken part in many challenges at all. But i have promissed myself that i will try more

Jazabelle - your walking stick looks gorgeous and congrats on your card sales!!!

Wanna-b-rich - glad to hear you had a fab day!!! Your "wings" card is stunning - I love how you've made it using your nesties.

ScattyJan - yeah - you've got a blog - I'm a follower too! Your cards are fab - I think my favourite is the cat fishing - and your tilda is coloured in beautifully.

Gemm - your jewellery is beautiful - my favourite is the blue bangle!

Dawnteabag - hope you arrive home safely soon.

CT19720 - love your butterfly cards - the glitter on the wings looks fab! And your ps3 card is amazing - so lifelike!

NuttieNettie - hi and welcome to the thread.

Charlie23 - hope you had a great day!

SallyUK - I'm glad to hear your OH is feeling better.

Giggle - love the pencil and lollipop treats!

Choccy - fab prima creations - my favourite one is tilda in the rain - your flowers look gorgeous.

Rainmac - huge congrats on getting a design spot - can't wait to see what you make. You've now solved my riddle - my postman knocked yesterday with one of those "while you were out cards" apparently a different postman had tried to deliver a packet on Weds while I was out and hadn't bothered to leave a card. So I've arranged re-delivery and its coming on Tues - I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it could be until I read your post!!! Thanks in advance anyway!!! Glad you had a fab time at Warwick Castle - my kids loved watching the jousting display when we went.

The-Wife - lovely prima creations - love the "snail mail" image!!!!

Rainmac and others who have the MS score board - could you let me know what you think of it please if you don't mind - what size boxes can you make (I have real problems when it comes to boxes) - I'm thinking of getting one today from Oyster while there's still free postage.

Marg

Snipped you - sorry

Marg Glad your stash arrived with you , i think i booboo ed with it so i need to PM you .. Not very good is it when person setting each months thinks she got it wrong .. oops !

Choccy - not got a pm - Have you sent too much i can send some back? Did you want the little box back I can send it when I send your stash?

Sally - Smell has gone today but it's very dull here still with slight haziness (is that a word?):o I really wanted to garden but had to do ironing instead:(. Oh & I'm near Blackpool.

melissa - MS Scoreboard - I'll let you know what I think when mine arrives (can't wait)

Re Doilies - Someone sent me one or two gold & silver doilies (about 8/9cm dia) a while ago and I've looked for those without success - probably hotel supply places will do them. Years ago, I used the white ones that size, sandwiched between an image cut from previous years cards and a plain backing to make Christmas gift tags. I got them from a posh stationers that's no longer there.

Hiya

I've only made a couple of envelopes and an easel card so far!!! It seems good but as I have not done any boxes can't comment on how good it is for those. I like the size of it and the envelope guide is a useful tool.
