Oh wow, I am so totally made up! I recieved a package today in the post from OneStop. Turns out the cards I had submitted to their gallery had been drawn as winners, and they've sent me a bundle of christmas stuff - papers, velums, toppers, sequins, ribbons and all sorts of gorgeous embelishments, probably £20 worth easily - as my prize!

I'm working on a pop out card - will be my father-in-laws birthday card (he's 57 on Sunday), but I need a decent egyptian picture, like Tutenkhamun or something, to go on the front - does anyone have anything suitable I could print out?

Loving everyone's pop outs - so inspiring, never realised how easy it was.

xx

Many congratulations Maggie, that's fab news :T

Rusty you are far too critical of your work. You son would have thought it was brill and that no-one else would have one.

Fab news maggie bob - looking forward to seeing the free creations.:T

:T Polly beautiful cards they all look great.:T

I have just caught up from this morning and you have all given me a real giggle. Thanks for that;)

Right here is my pop up card for this week's challenge...





It probably looks really plain compared to the others that have been posted so far but I like it. I may add some gems to my santa tag in the centre to make it prettier.

The papers are by Die Cuts With a View, one of my fave companies and the santa chipboard tag and snowflake on the front are from a huge set I got cheap from ebay, someone selling on stuff from QVC. My card is actually A6 rather than A5. I did try an A5 one but got overwhelmed filling all that space so tried a smaller card and was happier with it.

I really enjoyed making it so huge thanks to Polly for setting the challenge :T

Glad I was able to make a few people laugh with my Darth Vader comments Honestly, just don't engage my brain sometimes...

Are you selling your cards? If not, why not?

Are you saying you have taken me seriously prior to the Vader comment...? :rotfl:

Maggie_Bob

Thank you very much saveapenny - what a great range of pictures, I'm sure I'll be able to find something suitable among that lot!

Lovely pop out card Rainmac

abusybee, I guess he would have loved it and it would have been special, however I wouldn't have beem happy with it to be honest and it would have annoyed me to give it to him. I will try and see if I can do something to it today but I stood on a wasp last night and my foot is very painful and so a trip to the docs as it is so swollen!

Do I have to answer this one? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: or can I have 50/50 or ask the audience lol
