abusybee - Lovely anniversary card, I'm sure Polly loved it! I like the girl from Bolton too, I think she stole the show, I think she's the bookies favourite to win it at the minute. I watched a bit of Peter Kay, I had toturn over half way through though for Frost. It was funny, and I heard on tv that they were releasing the single. Great kids cards too, my favourite one is the Fifi one too, I like the flowers. It's my youngest's birthday on Thursday so I'm going to try and make him a spongebob squarepants card.

Melissa can you please let me know where you got your karen foster papers from? I have looked on ebay but they have part of what I want and not other bits. I would like haloween paper but refuse to pay £2.25 for postage on 1 piece of paper! Also looking for castle paper ... I have found knight stickers and also princess ones to match!
Thankyou in advance

Rustyflange - this was the website that I ordered from. After looking for hours I found that they had the best selection and the best prices. These are the boys castle papers: http://www.atripdownmemorylane.co.uk/catalog/index.php?manufacturers_id=47&sort=3a&page=2
these are the halloween papers from the same shop, (I like these):

these are the princess ones: http://www.atripdownmemorylane.co.uk/catalog/index.php?manufacturers_id=47&sort=3a&page=11
Check out the pirate and the zoo ones too, they're really cool.

Rainmac/ikkle87 - I had a feeling the two girl bands would be in the bottom two. I like Austin, all of the young girls, JLS and little Owen (sorry don't know how to spell his name) - what a cutie! Watching Frost tonight - my favourite!
Ikkle87 - fabulous cards, I don't know how you manage to make so many in one night, it takes me ages to make even one!
Brookeslay - I can't help you with card blanks. I normally buy A4 card and fold my own - it works out much cheaper. Papermill are good for A4 card. I get my cheap envelopes from Home Bargains. If you fold a piece of A4 in half that's an A5 card blank, if you cut the A4 in half and then fold that in half its A6 or C6 size card blank. Then there's a square card blank, I'm not sure of the exact dimensions, and a DL card blank which is a tall thin card, again I'm not sure of the dimensions.

I love Frost too :T but fell asleep about half way through, bummer

That's my trouble when I record stuff is finding the time to watch it :rolleyes: Would have made the time for Frost though

Ikkle and abusybee, great cards, well done. You two have been busy on the card making front, I really need to get my bum into gear with my Xmas cards. Maybe start tomorrow...
