mumoftwo - that is gorgeous! It looks like it took ages to make. I love the embossing on the front, and the inside is really pretty - I love the little bottle.

My OH doesn't really complain about what I spend... As long as I spread it out a bit... If I buy too much at once I get a raised eyebrow or two... I'd love to go to a craft fayre... Think how many ideas you can plaigerise whilst purchasing stash!

Gorgeous card mumoftwo! I love the embossing on the front. Not keen on the bottle in the middle (But that's cos I'm a breastfeeding peer supporter...) But it is oh so pretty!

My OH doesn't really moan about how much I spend on card making stuff - mind you he doesn't really know. He moans about how much space it takes up though!

Melissa, I love your wording "My OH doesn't really moan about how much I spend on card making stuff - mind you he doesn't really know" :rotfl:

Really made me smile as I'm in the same boat, mine doesn't know either! What would happen if they found us out???

I am in favour of breastmilk too! I have breastfed both my daughters for a long time. And I expressed milk and put it in a bottle so my husband could feed them when I was out. But the girl who it is for is only 18 and despite her mum (who breastfed 6 kids) and her midwife etc encouraging her, she said no way. And after all, it is only a card.

Luckily, my husband can't complain to me - camera stuff costs a lot more than card making stuff.

He's coming with me to the craft fair at Alexandra Palace in September. He's actually shown a vague interest in card stuff, such as he knows the name of techniquies (like the difference between dry & heat embossing), and he's actually talking about getting me a craft robo for my birthday (which suits him, as he's gadget man!)
