Be sure I'll be shouting from the rooftops if I do....................lol

Did you hear anything Mary?

I've kind of done a challenge card but fluffed up the printing at the last minute... Have been really busy with my order of services, got 27 out of 50 done but they take some cutting out!

Just off to onestopcardcrafts now... I love a bargain!

Oh, and I subscribed to one of the magazines ages ago, the one with the free crafters companion and I got a letter saying I would get the september issue... Haven't heard anything since... Might have to go through my emails and chase them up...

sorry, I think they are a bit "old" for 12 year olds, I think its the red ribbon that makes it uncool and the colours. I love them but then I am not "cool" haha. If it was something glittery or blingy (is that a word?) then maybe, have you not got some glittery paper in your card stash?
When my daughter turned 12 I bought cheap makeup bags from poundland, all glittery and reduced to 50p each and filled them with some sweets and a lipgloss I think, oh and a bit of birthday cake wrapped in serviette.

Hiya Mumoftwo

I know what you mean about not being glittery enough. Unfortunately, no glitter hanging about in my stash, but anyway the party is over with now and they all went home quite happily - I think - lol

Even the boys that were there, went off quite happily with them - lol

I have had an enquiry for a wedding
The brief was Burgundy/white-floral
She wanted something different than a normal A or DL size card
I saw Rainmac's link yesterday for a notelet holder and had a brain wave ( doesnt happen often)
Before I send the proof off will you all please give me your opinions
Could you also give me any suggestions on making a border for the white paper other than using peel off ...it took to long and with it being an order for 100 it could get expensive even at 44p a sheet


Outside and the back is the same without the wording and flowers


Invite in on the left ..does it need those corners?
Directions, RSVP, envelope and venue details are on the right

Can anyone also help me find a monagram font anything like these

I usualy mananger not only to cover myself but the house as well and poor horace is only just recovering for looking all twinkly last time ...its not very manly to be pink and twinkly ..lol

Don't normally use glitter but might have a christmas card I've done thats sort of 'glittery' if that will do.
