ooooh thank you Mr Marg - will have to think of a new challenge

will nip back later when inspiration has slapped me round the head

Had a really awful sleep last night laid awake for ages then hubby woke me at 5 when he got up to leave for work then couldn't get up when the alarm went off - feels like bedtime already - yawn xx

Well done Padster :T

I haven't been to Lidl...yet...still have two pads untouched from the last time

Hope everyone is well, I'm grumpy as heck this week so probably best avoiding me lol!!

Been crafting though, have been using my summer promarkers and I love them, they work really well with the Tim Holtz Spring inks too

Off to have a cuppa, take care xx

Well done Padster! I adore your new stitched heart. I am toying with buying the Cath K book Stitch but I fear I will only drool over the pretty pics and not actually get any sewing done

Mad day at work today, need a cuppa and my weekly fill of Holby City or Holby Sh*tty as my OH calls it

Thank you girls - the new challenge is......................

Technology - so wheels, hammers, planes, food mixers - thought it might be good for Father's day cards.

Rainmac - I have Stitch although it's packed in a box at the mo and whilst it's ok I wouldn't have paid full price for it - I got mine from The Book People and think I paid about a fiver for it. Looks nice on the shelf though next to my crochet book and my Tilda Spring makes book :rotfl::rotfl:

Ha ha I've seen it for £4 from the Book People, I never pay full price for a book especially one I probably am not going to use

Thanks for the new challenge x

I am sure like many other crafters, my stash is continually growing. I seem to have stacks of toppers, decoupage etc but not many ideas of what to do with them. I love to build up the decoupage whether it be Crafters Companion, Hunkydory, DoCrafts, Joanna Sheen etc but then I tend to just add them to a plain boring C6 card. Can anyone offer suggestions what else I can do with them or recommend a good basic card blank pack that offers me an alternative.

Thanks in advance

Emma - Welcome! I usually get my card blanks from Craftwork cards. I can't really advise what to do with your decoupage (could you add it to little gift boxes or make fancy gift tags or similar). Most of us here have blogs where we show our cards maybe if you looked at some of those (and see links to lots more) you will get some ideas. To find our blogs click under our names and you will see a link to take you to our 'home page' ie our blog.

Artydoll - Happy Birthday for yesterday - sorry I didn't have time to make a card but I did send an E card - did you get it?

Here is a link for sticky pads plus a few other sticky bits only 98p by post.
