Maggie bob ~ :eek: how much in a month. I have a fair bit here but now I seem to use it then buy more, I am more of a buy it, use it girl rather than a buy it, stroke it girl. Saying that though I just spent a fair bit on my first decoupage sheets... I cant wait to get them.

I'm definitely the buy it, stroke it type, that's why I knew cardmaking was the perfect hobby for me - I have a stationary fetish!:rotfl:

I passed all your get well wishes on to Polly and she says Thanks a lot. She has asked me to keep the challenge going so have to think of a good one for next week, a "get well soon" seems a great idea!

Here is my card for this weeks challenge, it is for my niece who will be a teenager next week. Since the paper was already very busy I kept the embelishments simple, just stuck the sentiments on acetate and fastened with eyelets. Seeing it on a photo, I think I will change the bow and add some beads..

Supercard mumoftwo -as always.:T

Lovely idea to have a Get Well theme for next weeks cards.I've sent her one anyway as I'll not be able to get it onto the site

Love the card mumoftwo, really gorgeous!!! I've never had a go with eyelets - is it easy to punch the holes and fix them? Saw a cheapish set in Hobbycraft (by Papermania I think) and fancied having a go but not sure how easy it is - if I'm going to do it, it needs to be easy! :rotfl:

Get well cards sounds like a good plan for next week. I don't really take part in the challenges but for Polly I might just make an exception!

Lovely cards everyone, well done! :T (And well done bunbun for doing your first gatefold card)...

Also please send my best wishes to Polly, mumoftwo, if you are able to.

I agree that a get well soon card would definately be the best idea for next weeks challenge.

It was a gift but I think it was from a retro paperpack from Lakeland, but just looked on their website and can't find it.

eyelets are not hard to do, I have an older setter where you have to use a hammer to punch the hole first and to set the eyelet but there are newer models available, mine still works fine, so will keep using that. I love eyelets, almost as much as gems and brads
