Happy birthday Slyphraven - hope you have had a lovely day.

Great makes on blogs, just about to check the rest out and leave comments.

Rainmac - hope you have a great night out.

I'm stuggling to use my MS Scoreboard, possibly because I am left handed, but I am having trouble with scoring without moving over to the next groove, and therefore can't get a straight line, if you see what I mean. Does anyone have any tips or is there a knack to it, at the moment I have tried using a ruler too, but am getting fed up counting the groove on top and bottom to make sure the line is straight - it must be easier than I am making it . Also am I the only one who thinks the scorer that it comes with is a bit flimsy, I apppear to have flattened it already and have only tried it out about 5 times.

Also if I want to try and make a box, what kind of card are people using. My card here tends to be really thin, to go through the craft robo, so the box I've tried is quite flimsy.

Rusty's card was sent this morning, and I hope all the cards that she receives will cheer her up. Choccy, have you heard how she is doing today??

Marg, can't wait to see your makes, I'm sure they are beautiful.

Does anyone know of any 'male' challenges on at the moment, as I have just made another wordle football card for my b-i-l birthday.

Evening all - seem to have lost track of things on here a bit - real life in the way.

I'll do a card for Rusty tomorrow - I really hope she'll get the relief she needs.

Craftygranny - congratulations.

Sylphraven - Happy Birthday!

Rainmac - hope you're feeling OK after your news and enjoy your Pimms!

Haven't had time for a blog hop for ages - must try harder!

Evening all, thanks for all your good wishes, unfortunatly I could not have the colonoscopy yesterday, still too much infection! so keep up the anti b and lotions and they will call me in a couple of weeks time. I must admit I have been feeling very sorry for myself so must snap out of that, There are so many people much worse off .
Any word from Rusty today? I do hope she is getting some pain relief.
Hugs to any who need it. am away to bloghop

Great idea Rainmac! I'll definitely be making a card & have the perfect stamp in mind but am not going to have time to craft again until at least Monday now



They are grey rubber stamps which you can then stick to a clear acrylic block with EZ Mount/Kling On/U-Mount (sold seperately) or a gluestick/double sided tape...



Looking at what people got last year I think quite a few got the same stamps so fingers crossed! I ordered a couple of mangas too - Manga Girl #1, Bloom & Grow and Rock Idol. If they've dispatched hopefully you'll get them tomorrow

Still no stamps today they were dispatched tuesday i think i'm just impatient. I already had the other mangas but i did order all six new ones i'm greedy.

Sorry about the link to the pics i'll try adding some to my blog.

Happy Birthday Sylphraven!!!

Thought of you this afternoon Choccy They were selling Craftrobos but couldn't see a box anywhere :rotfl: and thanks for the update on Rusty - have blogged my Rusty card plus some other bits in the last few days.

Thanks for all the entries into my Bs challenge - you still have until mindnight Monday to enter although I don't think anyone is going to beat Choccy with her 400 Bs

Fabby makes everyone and hugs to everyone who needs them.

Have just about come out from under my cloud - went to the opticians yesterday and he tweaked my lenses apparantly the right one wasn't quite strong enough so was making me feel fuzzy - have new trial lenses and reception is much better now :rotfl:

Ooh forgot there are loads of silhouettes on Stitchy Bear Stamps now all in a separate section including the rehearsal ones I've been using plus another gorgeous set called the audition.
