Hi just wanted to post a pic of a pop out card i have made today its for my hubbys mates girlfriend he asked me to make a soppy love card for her so just wanted your opinions before i give it o him as hes paying me for it :rotfl:

Polly, that is a great card! :T :T :T Very well done with the pop up, love the dangling heart. what a romantic! You have done so well, it looks very complicated but you should be very proud of yourself.

Love the baby card Savvy, so cute, love baby cards and the coloured teddies are nice (and they are not horribly dressed up!)

Savvy, as always great cards. My favourite one is the baby one, great idea to use a photo. How did you do the footprints and hands, was it a stamp? I love the different coloured teddies too!

LOL cheers mot, I've missed something with the bear talk haven't I?? I've noticed a couple of comments about bears dressed up but have no idea what it's about

Cheers melissa, the footprints and handprints are transfers that I got in The Range Wish my stamping DID come out that good, but I'm a bit haphazard when it comes to stamping

Umm ILC, nope they didn't take much time at all, stick on ribbon, gems, couple of brads, transfers and photos.................it was one evening when it all came together for a change!

I've done my challenge card for this week, how are the rest of you getting on?

Actually this is a bit of a cheat card - because all I did was personalise one with the name & age from the 'create & print' section of americangreetings.com, (I'm a subscriber) printed it out and mounted it.

I did print out two and made a bodged effort at decoupage but those wheels are really circular (:D ) and difficult to cut out when you're getting on a bit :rotfl: and your eyesight is not so good! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! So here you are, a non-decoupaged cheat greetings card for one of my son's friends!:

Oh, and Polly for those of us that are on half term with our kiddies, is next week the recycled theme again? I know savvy was asking too...

Brilliant card qwiksave - love the 'personalise' touch.:T

Next weeks challenge I think was mentioned a few pages back.........I think (but would have to have another look) it was for a 'thinking of you card' or something like that...............mind you, knowing me I could be wrong

Thanks Mary, I think little kids in particular like to see things with their names on - this little boy has got quite an unusual name so I don't think he gets them very often!
