Thanks polly, glad to have you back again, we've missed you. Hope you are feeling OK now.

I've been having a think about future card themes and its quite tricky isn't it? You can't say 'everybody do rubber stamps' this week because some people haven't got them, you can't say, all do a wedding card, 'cos not everybody has a wedding to go to... It's quite a challenge thinking of the challenge isn't it? Maybe some weeks we might have to do a either/or..?

Hi, janeym8 you sound lovely, can't wait to see some of your creations.
Mary43 love both of your cards, my favourite is the boats. I think the sails look great, especially how they are curved - very clever.
Rainmac - what a pretty card, I like how the edges of the cross stitch are frayed, I've never seen that before, I've always seen cross-stitch mounted so that the edges are hidden.
Polly1976, great cards too. Did you buy the card blanks already embossed or did you do it yourself? I like the addition of the little gems too.

Thanks melissa75, fraying the edges takes much less time than mounting it into an aperture card (and often cheaper as you can use a normal card blank rather than an aperture card!). I like the effect, looks more homemade!!!

Hi all melissa i didnt emboss the card a friend did it for me as i didnt have the board at the time but now i have its a fiskers embossing board its the best thing ive ever bought well worth investting in one i got mine from ebay for £11.50 including postage think they reatail at £16 + so i was happy withwhat i paid for it qwiksave you must have read my mind :rotfl: ive been racking my brain thinking of future challenges its been driving me mad and its like you said some people dont have wot other people might have so ???????? any suggestions will be great next week i thought we could do the recycled theme again as a few people have asked for it ???? then i dont know getwell cards :rotfl: Thinking of you cards???? let me know wot you want to do everyone xxxx

Thinking of you cards would be a good idea. I'm sure we all have occassions when a card like that is needed. I usually do a few blank ones so I've got some I can write that in.

Next weeks challenge might just give me some ideas for baby grandsons first birthday .............I'll rack my brain and think about that.
