    I am back in the land of living having been on nights for over a week, I am determined to get some cards made this weekend with the rain we are having, I so need to sort the garden out but can't, not enough hours in the day

    lilmisskitkat I am another fan of anitas tacky glue

    Marg I am determined to join the challenge this time, not sure on favourite book as I love crime thrillers and favourite films are war films and as most of my stamps are the cutie magnolia stamps so will have to put my thinking cap on :D

    Mad Frog - They are my favourite books too! I have visions of a hangman's noose or a dagger.:o Pretty macabre really, .... when Padster mentioned the lovely Captain Corelli I could only think of the bomb! not the love story.......
    Hope you've got a good few days off now after all those nights.

    Wifey - Thinking about you even though I've not posted since you said your son wasn't too well. Sending (((Hugs))) for you & healing vibes for him x

    I love a good murder book too :D

    My favourite film is the Wizard of Oz and the new Kraftin' Kimmie stamps I've bought will be perfect for the challenge, but I think it will take too long for them to arrive from Canada :( I'll need to have a think about other films/books I love and make something along those lines!

    My Kimmie stamps have arrived!!! Five days from ordering them to receiving them from Canada, and worked out £10 cheaper than buying the full set from any UK stockists - that's almost frugal :money:

    There WILL be a Wizard of Oz card made this weekend. Hurrah!

    Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

    I bought a Hunkydory pack off TV but when I checked out some of the cards they made, they are too big to fit A4 envelopes.I looked for 9" x 9" envelopes but can't find any. Have to rethink my Granddaughter's 21st card now :(
