    Beautiful wedding card rustyflange. Love the mounted Hearts inside the appature. Have you made it yourself?:T

    Yes I made it myself a few weeks back when I did a few hours of making cards. This was the third or forth I had ever made so quite chuffed with it.

    Lovely card Rusty...where did you buy the card stock from its lovley

    Hi Saveapenny, thankyou. everything came from Artymiss. They had a clearence section and I went nosying and spent about £12 inc postage but got loads from skeleton leaves to embellishments to things which I don't have a clue what they are for but looked pretty and I needed them lol

    Furrypig...no they are not hard to make infact quite easy really just lots of cutting out and you do use alot of foam pad but I buy mine from £land

    Mary...thanks Im not clever a all I just like playing ( never grew up)

    Rusty...thank you Im quite pleased with it...but I still feel it need tweakign, Ive been playing about with it today with more art deco designs but something still isnt right...I know what you mean I see stuff all the time I REALLY REALLY NEED!!

    Krystaltips...Yes I do sell them...I am a bit worried about theinvites going into a shop. First worry is what if no one likes them 2nd worry what if everyone likes them and I get tons of orders :eek:

    Wow Rusty, that is a serious wonderful Wedding invitation. Love it
    Great cards Saveapenny, you have been busy, went looking at the Santa, couldn't see anything wrong, thought it was because he had 6 fingers :rotfl: You did a great job!
    Faff: Wish I was going to the NEC, not too good for the bank balance, have fun
    Here is my "modern" Christmas card. Just a quick one as my household is very hectic at the moment.
