:hello: Hi PepPop and liza, thank you for the lovely welcome back and :wave: to everyone else.

PepPop, I had a look on Youtube and there is a couple of vids of the napkin fold card and th belly band, might give it a try. I'm not sure if the MS 'punch around the page' will work on a 12" x 12" , anyone tried it?

Good point I never thought about that - doesn't help that I've thrown out the measure thing for my MS punches either - stooopid peppop

PepPop - my instructions for that very same MS punch say it goes up to/fits 12 x 12" paper. I looked before you asked because the card looks so lovely. Need to see what 12 x 12 paper I've got 'cos I don't usually have that size.

Wifey - So glad you are able to be back with us:j :j :j :j especially with choccy cake & tea. We've not eaten yet!! Hope all is going well for you & DS.

Can I have coffee please wifey? lovely to see you - no cake ta I need to lose some weight now I've seen myself in the holiday pics

Just been to pick DD up and now have bleeding ears - had forgotten how she could talk for a solid 2 hours without drawing breath :rotfl:

had to take my leg to the doctors this morning - nasty mosi bite was kind of yellow and purple so now have a course of antibiotics oh to not be so tasty

Have still made nothing except a huge pile of ironing - have a baby card to make before the weekend as we're going up for a cuddle - DD is more excited about the return journey as we're coming back by train coz he's working in Scotland next week and she's never been on one

stifling hot here tonight - hope it doesn't keep me awake coz I'm shattered

hugs to everyone - but not the woman in RBS who assured me that there was no block on my card and making me look like a fool in BHS and making me spend 15 mins on the phone to their fraud team last night :mad:

OAP sorry to hear about your vase being broken. My mum has one that she was given by her mum who has now passed away. She would be gutted if anything happened to it.

Those napkin fold cards look easy to you all? :eek: I might need to find a template and have a look cos it just does not look simple to me at all. Only just managed to do a decent looking gatefold card lol!

Picnic, sorry I can't help you. Only the obvious sprang to mind

Congrats to the winner among us! :T

Hopefully I can get some sleep tonight now my little girl is feeling a bit better. Even managed to keep some food down today! Have finally figured out how to add links to my homepage, go me! Got to see if I can find time to make an anniversary card for my mum and dad before the weekend. They have been married 27 years on 8th Aug!
