  • Good grief polly you are going to busy this week aren't you. Glad your room is coming together the way you want it.

    Saveapenny the monogram looks fab it was worth all the hours of work you've put in.

    Rusty i know what you mean about the cards it's hard to get going sometimes .

    craftygranny - super cards............how do you think of the ideas ?
    Didn't get the card making stuff...........well haven't heard anything -no e mail, phone call, nothing so I take that as a 'no' :confused:

    Lovely card saveapenny - did a lovely one for Mums day the other year -managed to find the music to a tune called Mothers Day on internet - Mum was so thrilled as Dad was musician.
    Mary

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !

    craftygranny...I love the wallet and anniversary card.
    The wallet would make a great pressie for a crafter like me that doesnt get on to well with stamping but loves stamped images
    Are the words printed or stamped on the anniversary card?
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel
  • Melissa it didn't take long at all it was quite easy really. The stamp o the card wallet is a sugar nellie one it was only £2 from funky kits uk .

    Hi Polly it was easier than it looks lol. I can only do easy.

    Saveapenny thats exactly what the wallet was for a friend who hates stamping . The words on the anniversary card are from a stamp its a barrett browning sonnett called how do i love thee

    Mary Don't you just hate it when they don't reply to you even to say no . I only usually offer stuff but i did once get a dishwasher for my sister. lol
    I don't know where the idea came from i knew i wanted the bride and groom stamp on then i spotted the poem one in the box and thought it would look good on a scroll then it was just luck from there .

    Wow, such beautiful cards... Love the wedding invites, really classy looking and love the unusual fold. Love Dorothy's red sparkly shoes, and what a great idea for a gift, the wallet with stamped images.

    oh dear not another cheap site...lol
    My cards cant stand much more of this buying
    I spent a fortune again on the 1stop 30% sale but I did get my crafters companion board so really please with that
    For £2 though I might get me some larger stamps and see if that makes a difference I have only had small ones till now and they never turn out right
