Mary - lovely card, I love the brown bow!
Pinklipgloss - great cards, my favourite is the handbag one - so cute. Fantastic first attempt.
Polly - really pretty xmas card, it looks very professional.
craftygranny - wow! The wedding cake is fantastic! Did you buy a template for this. I have seen these 3d cards/boxes on ebay but I have never attempted one. I am not very good at making boxes!! You could charge a fortune for that! I wanted to have a go at the boxes with the cot or baby shoe in. I think giving the wedding cake as a "card" is fab - its a real keepsake, something that the "happy couple" will cherish for a long time.

Thank you for all your kind comments i don't usually show them to anyone but my o/h persuaded me . The cake was a template download i bought from e bay ages ago. It has templates for 4 different cakes . If you want to pm your e mail addy i'l try sending you a copy and anyone else who wants one too.

Maggie bob have you seen the rocker blocks you stick your stamp on and you get a perfect image every time. They are fab a little expensive maybe at 14.99 but if they work then worth it i think. My friend has even taken the wooden backs off all her stamps to use them with them as she smudged quite a few.

Melissa i cheated too and got some pre stamped magnolia's from e bay to see how i got on with them . They were really fab .Not used them all yet .

now i finally got brave i may see about doing one for this week. Peels off's now where do i start on that. lol.

Some really fab cards this week and nice to see so many. Pinkgloss , toni , polly, maggie bob , mary, rainmac great cards sorry if i missed anyone out.

Maggie bob if you don't get on with stamping but want some pretty images try these http://www.coloring-book.info/coloring/coloring_page.php?id=94 you just save to your computer then you can print out when you like colour them in and use them . They are the sarah kay ones i used in my last 2 card pics.

or here you click on the character you like and lots of images of that character come up to choose from. http://www.coloring-book.info/coloring/ they are colouring book pages but i save them to my computer and print them out small enough to use on cards .
There is even a disney site for them http://i-love-disney.com/ just click on the character you want from the character list on the right .

Hope someone can make use of these
