Brilliant cards polly and shaz :T :T

OH has posted mine off to you polly........hopefully you should get it tomorrow.
Well I've spent all afternoon doing my decoupage !!!!!!!!:doh: Took a lot of doing ! Still, its done now. I ended up using up a lot of my odd bits rather than buy a set from the shop so hope it'll be ok.
I'll post that off tomorrow as well.........going to see my Mum Tuesday and Wednesday next week, then got appointment with my counsellor so I'd never have got it done.

Did card for Mum's friend as well, on behalf of Mum. She's bedridden now and can't do it, but she used to go to card making activity when she wasn't so poorly and would have made one herself.

Whats the challenge for the week after next ? Just so I can get my brain working a bit................lol

(oh and did anyone see The Apprentice last night ? They had to create an 'occassion' that hadn''t already been covered and then design a card.........

Hi All

Love the cards so far, the retro scooter is cool :cool: , and the crabby one just right (for any man lol). Love the rest too, so many different cards from the one theme – it’s great! :T

It's actually Fimo! I finally got playing with it and made a few bits and bobs and the crab was the first thing that made it onto a card! It really took me back a few years when I was playing with it!:rotfl:

Your card is lovely Shaz!:T

WAHEY!

I'm celebrating too this is my 500th post! :j

Great cards again everybody - still haven't done mine yet but I've got a few ideas rattling around. Plan to do one tonight. I've even been looking in card shops for male ideas and so many of them are dull, dull, dull! Not like the ones appearing on here! :T Pats on back all round!

I've finished mine. It's for my nephew who is dinosaur crazy. (You can just see him peeping out from behind the tree, ) No doubt he'll tell me that dinosaurs can't have both spots and spikes! I've just done aperture again, in the same style as I wanted to use up the things I have.


Here is a close up as it has a sort of stained glass effect with raised texture, which doesn't show too well on the screen.

Sorry folks - I can never get the size thing quite right. Last time my pic was tiny, this time it's massive.
