    I have had so many blog problems recently it's unreal, I really shouldn't have started messing around with it in the first place :rotfl: we figured out the other day that if you unfollow and re-follow my blog you should start getting the updates again :o sorry to be such a pain for everyone!

    Thanks Gemm, I'll give it a go - fingers crossed it will work x

    Edit: It worked, i'm now getting your updates
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    CraftyJuJu I was just about to blog my easel card and put it on the challenge at CCW and notice you've put your card into that challenge. Don't forget to put a link on your blog post to CCW as it seems to be a general part of the requirements for challenges - For this challenge people with blogs link directly to the project you are submitting and not to your general blog, please link back to our blog in your post . Hope you don't mind me pointing that out, wouldn't want your entry to be disqualified because you didn't link back. If you're not sure how to do it take a look at the other entries.

    Hi thanks :) I got a message from them saying 'Thankyou' for entering so thought I'd done it right, sorry...am off now to post a link in the blog :)
    :wave:Hi, I have a passion for crafting.......I'm always up to something :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope you didn't think I was telling you off JuJu. Was just worried that your entry wouldn't count if you didn't link to them. I didn't realise they'd visited your blog already and commented. Good luck with the challenge, I've won a couple and it's so exciting to be picked the winner.
  • :j Thanks girls for entering the easle challenge. I knew it would be one that would be liked ;)

    bunbun I found with the nellie snedden embossing bit you have to push it down a few times and 'put abit of weight behind it ' ;) The paper/ card might get stuck in there but it easily pings out if you use a poke tool or even a part opened paperclip ;). Let me know how you get on xx

    Off to do my DT duty and look at everyones beautiful cards :D

    Hello ladies,
    I've been busy having a look at all the blogs, you are full of inspiration, your cards are gorgeous!
    I've been busy making a little gift bag for a friend to say Thank you, so far I've made a little note holder for the fridge, a gift box with a handmade bracelet, magnetic peg for the fridge, and a little holder to hold sweets (thanks to Rainmac for the link on her blog)
    I hope to blog all my creations today!

    Gemm your easel card is gorgeous, well done.
