Fabulous cards Rainmac and Toniwoty.
Gangstabird - lovely card - really pretty colours. I love how you have used the silver thread.
Saveapenny, I saw a kit on QVC for those cards and my Mum ordered it for my birthday, only I got the item numbers mixed up and I ended up with the wrong thing!

Gangstabird

Thanks girls. The card is easy to make. I printed the numbers using brush stroke back to front on the glitter card (on the white side) then cut them out using a craft knife, the eyelets are on a bit of velum and the silver thread stuck inside the card.

I haven't really made cards for a couple of years and need to get back into it. When I started I spend £untold money and have a room dedicated to it. I really do need to start using this gear up.

I would love to join your challenge.

Arty Miss have a sale on and there's loads of lovely things to be had. P&p is about £4 I think - free if you spend £60 :eek:

There are some plain white handmade boxes that could be used for card boxes, loads of scrapbook paper and pads, card blanks, stickers...ohh I could browse all day

Also lots of Xmas stuff!!!

I am having a bit of a clampdown, spent a bit too much the last couple of weeks. Although if I spot something I really love I think I'll have to have it.
