kms26

CT - can i enter my blue card into your challenge please?

PepPop - they are stunning aren't they? Certainly not worth that much though IMO have you seen her bl*g?

Rusty - If you still haven't received your secret santa by the end of the month, please let me know.

STUPID QUESTION ALERT!! How do you do the thread on buttons? :j

Also i have just put a card on my bl*g but i need some inspiration for it, can anyone suggest anything?

For buttons I just thread either some thin ribbon or string through the button holes and just knot it on the top hth I know some people use dental floss

Just had a look at your card I wondered if a circle of colour behind the doily might help other than that it looks fab

PepPop - it is a gorgeous card but why would you pay so much for it????? I've noticed too that toppers seem to sell better than actual cards - I have thought about making some and listing them - I've just never got round to it - I doubt I'd get £36 though!!!!!

Rusty - Yeah it was nice not to have to leave the house! OH still hasn't gone done yet for the operation - they wanted him to stay in but he's been moaning that he wants to go home. No - I don't iron sheets either!!

KMS26 - gorgeous blue card - I love the little arrangement of flowers at the bottom. Love your pink card too especially the doily!

PepPop I would never have thought anyone would pay that much money for a card!

Rainmac I got my card today thank you, can I ask what the silky feel paper is you have used on some of the stamped images, it's lush

Well I popped to the shops just now to get some food and wine for tomorrow when I finish nights, the lady asked me for ID as she thought I was under 25 :rotfl:I think she needs to go to spec savers as as flattered as I am there is no way on earth I look that young

MY LOTV stamps arrived today, I love them and feel I will be ordering some more

Will try and catch up on blogs tomorrow, for some reason when I have been trying on my laptop it lets me post about 5 comments and then starts freezing.

No problem, the paper is a thin-ish coated card from Ryman's, I now use it for all my stamping and Promarkers don't bleed or anything. Much cheaper than the digital cardstock you can buy

Rusty, so glad your littlies are better Thank you so much for the tip off about the win :beer:

WBR, HUGE well done on the weught loss :j

Mel, hope your OH is ok and he isn't too demanding for cuppas etc x

Got a preschool meeting soon, as soon as OH gets home I am off out, really fancy an evening of making but hey ho

OK ladies take a look at this :eek::eek::eek: Get ebay listing!!!!

It's beautiful but good grief it's a lot of money. I know they take a lot of time but even so. I wouldn't say no to that price if someone was mad enough to pay it.

Just showed it to my oh who replied make your own you have enough stock to make a 1,000 cheeky beggar . Told him mine wouldn't be as good so he told me to get practicing. lol.

Rusty i got those free stamps too they look fab. i'll have to ink them up.
