    Morning everyone,

    Choccy - I can begin to imagine what your friend is going through, death is always hard but when it is a child......... I think the card CT linked is a great one. I also found some verses that maybe helpful. I also found this that seems very appropriate i think, it depends how simple you want to go

    Tomsmom - I hope everything goes ok for your OH

    I think it is group hug time again :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

    WBR - thank you so much, i can't decide what to spend it on!

    As you all know my challenge finished at midnight, there were 14 entries and the winner chosen by my DS2 Jack is.................

    FLOURGIRL :j:T well done. I will pop your prize in the post asap.
  • Choccy that's absolutely awful - I agree with the thought being the thing that counts

    Well done flourgirl :j

    Can't remember who asked but dare you to digistamp is no more. Can't remember when it finished though.
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Over the last couple of days the weather has turned really cold and frosty so I thought this times challenge could be based upon a Winter Wonderland with a nice simple sketch to get you all started. It doesn't have to be a card it could be an ATC a Gift Bag front or a box front or just a label, the choice is yours :)

    As always the challenge will last for 2 weeks, then all names will be placed in a hat and a small prize given to the winner.

    Looking forward to all your beautiful wintery creations xx

    PS Anyone who is unable to cut the circle can use a square :) I dont want anyone to be put off by not having a circle x

    Choccy thats really sad news, I agree with the others that maybe a simple looking card with a nice verse may be best. Im sure she will appreciate the fact that you care more than anything x

    Tomsmom Fingers crossed everything goes ok for your OH xx


    flourgirl I was wondering if maybe I could take part in the challenge please? The card or whatever will be terrible as Im just starting but I thought it would be nice to give it a try.

    A couple of silly questions though... do we use the sketch as the basic design?

    And when ive finally done it :D do I post it on here?

    cg Sending you and your family hugs and I hope everything goes well tomorrow and that it's just a bug that your mum has.

    TomsMom sending you hugs too, hope your mum's ok. So glad your OH is getting his treatment quickly and that he'll be home for Christmas.

    FF Welcome to the Epson printer club :D

    mummyroysof3, piglet27 and Emzy81 :wave: hello

    Padster OOPS! It's so easy done, I'm glad you're out the doghouse - I was gonna send you a food parcel :rotfl:

    Marg OH was in trouble at the weekend - he was playing Blackpool on ProEvolution Soccer on the Playstation and I told him it was your team and he had to be nice - but he beat them 6-0, so I told him off :D:rotfl:

    DTB WOW Brilliant fund raising :T:T:T

    choccy That's awful news, I'm so sorry. Sending you hugs, you're in my thoughts. (If you've not made the card yet what about white on white, maybe some embossing, something really simple - CT found exactly what I was thinking of)

    Whoo Hoo Well done Flourgirl

    KMS [STRIKE]Will you email Flourgirl her badge or do you need me to do it?[/STRIKE] Forget that I've just read your post.

    Flourgirl I'll get started on a badge for your challenge tonight. I'll email you it to see what you think. Nice sketch - must get my finger out and enter this one.

    Better get back to work and I'll catch you later. Thanks for your comments on my flower card too ladies :beer: Crafting tonight - footie on the TV :j

    Emzy Welcome to the card making thread. It would be lovely if you would join in with the challenge, anyone can enter, whatever level of crafting you are at. For this challenge I thought I would make it easy and give the sketch as a starting point, sometimes when making cards we all get stuck for a layout. As we are all starting to get busy for Christmas I thought it might help if we all followed the same design. When you have completed your card you can either post a photo on here or if you have a blog you can put it on there, just let me know where I can find it please. I hope you will join in with the fun, you never know you might just be the lucky winner . HTH


    I have a new box on the blog it you want a nosey :)
