Snipped you - sorry

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?

Nooo Marg i have just found the plain card stock :eek: I had forgotten to put it inside... Serves me right for trying to do 6 things at once .. The little box is for you, i thought it might come in handy for storing stuff.

So in reply ... Noooo im a daft choccy and need to send you plain cardstock !!

I will get it inside an enverlope and send it on Monday.. So sorry i forgot to put it in :D

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.

Let me know if you get one I need an excuse to get one too :rotfl:

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.

Stop looking for those doilies I think you sent them to me in the stash swap and I have used them too:rotfl:

Hello there on this lovely sunny day !! I am always lurking on this site but with one thing and another never manage to keep up with posting......... I have been challenged with a special wedding card/project by a friend. The colour scheme is ivory, lilac and silver and the couple who are getting married like Victorian themed things. I am thinking of some kind of a star book type thing, using ivory pearlescent card for the main card and then having apertures cut out of each page showing a patterned paper and with something 'dangling' !! Am wondering if anyone has any suggestions of where I can buy suitable patterned paper and also what could be dangling, I have thought of some silver wedding rings, a heart and am now at a bit of a blank.
If anyone has any other special ideas that they have used I am quite open to changing my mind !!
Me and my big mouth offering to do this........
Thanks for any help anyone can give

Thanks OAP - I meant I want some more!!:rotfl:

Choccy - It doesn't matter - I hadn't noticed I was so chuffed with the little box & the leaves! You really don't need to send. I do hope Ben gets well very soon and you can catch up on your sleep.

Thank you Gemma I've not looked at CP yet I'm a fan now too.

Am I the only person who hasn't got a sunny day?

Cazarol - I'm not much cop at ideas but if I do think of anything I'll let you know! I've got an acceptance card to do & it's been so long in the thinking they'll think we're not going!
