Have been reading but far too much to remember

Choccy please send my love to Rusty hopefully the emergency will get her sorted out asap - she's also won a prize here

Marg - yes that is my cat (Miss Pansy) on the top of my blog - tried to get a pic of her with her eyes open but gave up after a week :rotfl:

Hassy - The silhouettes will be from Stitchy stamps but stitch hasn't had chance to get them in the shop yet - I've asked her to let me know when they're there

Wow - I didn't realise my challenge would be so popular I think this is everyone - If I've missed you give me a shout or a kick lol!

don't think I'm getting your updates on my list either don't remember seeing anything you have made for a while trouble is I don't go to blogs from here, will go and delete you from my list and then join again see if that works.

I don't generally do blogs from here either. I only noticed the other day when Gemm posted about the gorgeous bag card she'd made with the scotties on. It didn't show in my list and then I spotted today that the same thing had happened

The trouble is I'm sure that there are few cards/makes that have been blogged that aren't appearing - I just hope that no-one thinks I'm being rude and ignoring them. I'm really not, it's just that you haven't appeared in my reading list.

If anyone blogs a card and I don't comment, give me a nudge and I'll unfollow and then refollow you. Also, if you have a blog and I'm not following you, please let me know so that I can follow you.

Crikey - so many pages to catch up on again - so sorry in advance for the huge post!! I was very good and hardly spent any money over the weekend despite all those great offers - I just got myself some more cc designs stamps that were reduced!

Rainmac - your 3 bs card is gorgeous - I love how you've created a little scene!!! Your DT card is really pretty - those subtle colours really work well together!! SEnding your Mum loads of "get well" wishes so that she's better for her birthday.

OAP - looks like you really did "raid" that craft shop - those new sugar nellie stamps are gorgeous - I'm not surprised you bought one. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.

Marg - I love Southport - is the fair and zoo still there???? Your "green" card is fab - love the papers!!!

Thriftyscotslass - glad to hear you've all recovered after the sleepover!!!!

Bunbun - I think bunnyzoe has only just started doing the free postage offer hasn't she???? I know I've been put off before from ordering from her because of her high postage - I love those new stamps too!!!!! So you will have qualified for the free magnolia stamp too then - I think it would have been rude not to spend!!!

The-Wife - your card is absolutely stunning - I love the ruched ribbon (I think that's the right word).

Pointofnoreturn - your butterfly card is amazing - I love the warm colours!! Congrats on your first FB sale!!!

TomsMom - your dragon card is fab - I love the purple and green together - and the frame looks so intricate - I think those dies are definately on my shopping list. Your magnolia card is really pretty too.

Lei_Armstrong - you are lucky - I love London Zoo - I haven't been in years! Your Bs card is fabulous - I love the little touches of black!

Flourgirl - your "b" card is lovely - love the blue scallop and layered flowers! I am very impressed with all your veggies - ~I've always wanted a little vegetable patch!

NuttieNettie - great "B" card - love the shape of the card - it looks complicated!

Dragonllew - your paper trays sound like a right bargain!!! Love your "B" card - that bottle cap is fab! Love the glitzy ribbon on your anya card!

Thanks Hassy and Melissa. DH has had to put a fence round the veggie plot to keep the rabbits out!! Little b*ggers ate loads last year if we could have caught them they would have been the best tasting meat ever lol

Fab cards on everyones blogs.

Hi Hogshead

Thanks for replying (and to everyone else too)

Here's what they look like inside:

The insert cards won't be a problem, but it's the shape of the pocketfold itself that seems to vary a lot. Some use odd size of paper, others have the "pocket" attached as an extra.

I've also just found out that the lady who has asked me to make them, is actually a full time greetings card designed for a well known large company!!!]

EEEk!!!

Thanks for your help ladies.

Hi PepPop

That's getting closer to what I'm looking for, thank you so much!

It certainly looks a lot easier than some I've seen so far.

Thank you so much.
