Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd pop in to say how impressed I am with everyone's cards recently. Sorry I haven't posted any of mine, but I've not made any recently. Strangely enough, I have had a week off work on holiday and haven't had time to make any (but when I am working somehow I find time). Probably something to do with not having a routine when I'm on holiday, I don't know.

Anyway, I hope to be back making cards very soon.

By the way, it was good to have a stash of hand made cards recently as I had a couple of short-notice birthdays and I was able to have a look in my box and pull something out.

Don't know if any of you card making experts are interested but you can get to see June's Papercraft Inspirations for free if you sign up to WHSmiths e-magazines - they let you choose one magazine title to download for free. I've done this and can flick through Papercraft Inspirations on the PC screen. I'm very not PC literate and it took me a while to work out what was going on but I got there in the end! :rotfl:

Signing up doesn't tie you to anything or cost you anything. :T

Thanks for this rainmac, I wish I hadn't bought Papercrafts magazine last week, this link would have saved me £4! Unfortunately they didn't offer any other card making magazine so I had a women's magazine instead. Great offer tho' thanks for giving us the link to it.

While I'm on I found a 10% off discount code for craftsuperstore in a scrapbooking magazine (I plan to get into scrapbooking) which is on the discount code forum. You still have to pay postage but as Mr T says, 'Every little helps.'

Here is my card for the challenge (of last week :eek:) sorry!

It is Winnie the Pooh as well, my niece who will be 4 is totally Winnie crazy.
I didn't spend a lot of time on it, I could have done better but the parcel needed to in the post otherwise she wouldn't have gotten it in time, so a bit of a hurried job.

Great card mumoftwo, it doesn't look like a 'hurried job'. (What does 'Gefeliciteerdl' on the card mean?)

I'm having a problem thinking of a 'thinking of you' theme, I've never done one before. I will have to do some internet research today I think.

Hope everybody is feeling well today.

Gefeliciteerd means Happy Birthday and is also used for congratulations
