Thanks for the update in Rusty Rainmac - so glad she has had the op she needed, and hope that she is out of pain very soon. Rusty - sending you the gentleist of hugs if you are reading the thread xxx

Melissa - glad you get to see your little pink bundle of joy on a scan, bet it will be amazing when you think that you could be meeting her any time now. Will it be a 3d one?

Congratulations to our latest winner - stunningly beautiful cardxx

Really silly question but is there anything else that would be classed as '3d' on a card apart from using foam pads. decoupaging an image or using paper flowers etc. Had a conversation with a friend yesterday, and that is all I could come up with.

Evening ladies- please could you help me? I have two questions;

1. I got my Lilly of the valley stamps - wahooooo but they are unbacked- how do I mount them? And onto what? They're currently teasing me with their loveliness but I can't use them:(

2. How do I enter your competitions? Am I allowed or is it certain people only:o I have a blog (albeit empty!)

This is my 3rd attempt at typing this MSE kept crashing on me. Another option is to use a 3d card blank, i.e. a box card and then put flat decal on it. IFGWIM

1. I use EZ Mount Foam for mine - it's sticky gubbins you can attach the stamps to. I used to just try and whack them on an acrylic block with double-sided tape, but made a mess

2. Enter away! I'm in charge of the challenge this fortnight, so either comment on here or PM me when you want to enter. You would need to post a piccy on your blog though

Viclspence - I don't think I could cope with popping out a 10lber - my other three have been 7lbs and under!

CT19720 - the midwife didn't say but I assume it'll be a normal scan, I'll have to wait and see! I can't think of anything else that could be considered 3d other than the things that you mentioned!

Butler-Helen - you can either buy a sticky foam backing to use on your stamps - one make is called ez mount, or you can use double sided tape or pritt stick. You then stick your stamp to an acrylic block, if you haven't got one you can use a cd case.

Artydoll - fab "yellow" card - love the image, and your handmade patterned paper is great!

I didn't expect him to be a 10iber, my daughter was 8ibs and on little chart they do to map your size and weight, it quite clearly said that at 40wks he would be 10ibs but I was assured that it was rubbish and everyone, apart from me, were shocked when he came out at 10ibs! Why do a chart if they don't think it's right! I'd have another one at the drop of a hat (I was in labor for less than an hour with him and about 5 hours with my daughter) but my hubby has banned me from any more!

Doc told me my first child would be quite big - prob about 8lb he said. Ha, 11lb 4oz. (2 weeks late) 2nd one was on time - 9lb 2oz. There hasn't been a no 3.

If anybody should be in the market for a Cricut Imagine it's POD on Ideal World for less that £400 including 3 cartridges and ink. And on 4 payments

Fortunately I'm not in the market for one so that's £400 I've saved today :money:
