Shaz - beautiful cards. My favourites are the football one and the wedding one, I love the mirror on it, very pretty and girly.
PAP, what can I say - genius. Love it, I might have a try at one of those, are they easy to do?
I haven't made many cards recently. I can't just make one at a time. It takes me so long to get all my stuff out and then put it away, that I have to make a few to justify all the effort in tidying it up. I will try to spend a few hours making some. I need to try something different too, I get stuck in a rut doing the same thing, but its great looking on here at everyone else's ideas.

Thanks guys, It all rests on two 1p pieces... I know I couldnt quite belive it at first! Its on monicas blog (she is amazing btw, I so love her work) here is the card ~ and here is how to make it. Its totally adapatable... at the moment I am in the process of making an adult/older version. Oh and you dont 'need' some of it she has used (stamp a majig/punch) you can just hand cut it or write the title etc. I did copy heres to the letter but I had everything here/I brought it with my monthly stamping club.

shaz ~ thanks... I am aiming for 10k in four years :eek: we shall see :rotfl:

I can justify that, sometimes I leave it all packed away as its too much like hard work to get it all out. Now however i have my tools in a tin and a few 'kits' with paper/peeloffs/embellies in boxes so I can pull that out and play instead

Thanks for that link PAP. I've just got to think of something to use instead of the frog now. I haven't got the circle punch, so mine might end up a bit messy!

You could use anything, if you have a printer downlaod an image and print it out also what about using a 5p as a template for the circle end? as long as its smaller than a 1p it will be fine
