Rainmac - great ATCs, I can't wait to receive mine. OH is out at the football tomorrow so I'm hoping to get quite a lot done, (depends how the kids behave).
Fabulour cards RustyFlange. I love the first one, I like how the embellishments are linked together. I also think the piggy one is great - really clever idea to stick the money on there.
Almar - often if you buy a kit from QVC and go to their website and click on the item you have bought, it shows you a demo of them using the kit which should help. If you ever have any questions - just ask! Between us we should know the answer. I have bought a few kits before and when they have arrived I have a mental block and have no idea what to do with them, so you're not alone!
Well done saveapenny - still not won anything myself . (I wanted an icon for sad)
Polly - crikey it sounds like you're going to be busy!
Mary43 - oh no - not more builders!
I wanted to mention some cheap envelopes I picked up. I normally get these plain white ones from Home Bargains, I think its 30 for 59p or something. They're okay for the money. Anyway today they had a pack of 25 c6 envelopes for 19p. They were cream and had "sainsburys" written on the packet. They are much nicer quality than the normal ones I get and look a lot more expensive, I wished I'd picked up more packs now!

I love card making and have been doing it about 1½ years..much to hubby disgust as my craft things take over the house..lol
Here's my parents xmas card i made them last xmas.

BabyKat

Hi BabyKat - glad you joined us. The xmas card looks lovely - I have never made a bookatrix card but I think they look really expensive. The poinsetta looks lovely (really sparkly). The other card is really pretty too, I like the flowers.

Lovely cards BabyKat They look very professional for someone who's only been card making for 11/2 years!!!

Hmmm Was actually my idea, she bought a little cardigan for my daughter when she was born last year so I kind of felt obliged to ... besides I have stuck my details in there (she won't know it is me) and so she may well order for other people meaning she gives me money
