    Hi, have been reading through this thread, and I must admit, you have all got me wanting to make my own cards now!

    I have found this great craft site, which has some great card ideas for all occasions, check out this card for 'Fathers Day' http://familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts/

    With lots of other exciting crafts too!

    (Hope the link works correctly)

    Thanks for that site Candy, shame there's so much advertising on it - like most american sites on the internet!

    Watched a bit of craft tv today, they've been making christmas cards! :rotfl: Do we fancy doing one for one of our challenges? :confused: Maybe we could make it in the middle of Summer? July or August? We could always store it until needed. We've been looking for themes so that could be one... maybe? :D

    They are really lovely savvy, and don't worry, you haven't posted them here before. This weeks theme is a child card including baby cards so you are the first to submit to the theme! :T Hope your feeling OK now.. x qwiksave

    savvy - both brilliant cards and they fit in with this weeks challenge a treat............well done being first to submit them...................lol:j

    qwiksave - I mentioned to OH yesterday about making Christmas cards........think he thought I'd lost the plot................lol Not a bad idea though. I'm trying to get Christmas sorted out by the end of August (gift baskets and cards) -sort of a personal challenge then I don't have to worry about getting anything at the last minute.

    Havent checked the link yet..............just about to........thanks for that craftygranny
