When I have more things to play with card wise i`ll by happy to do one. Also been avoiding going to london must go soon, at least when i`m back i hope to clear a couple of weeks card making/crafting. I`ll look @ the challenge to see how its done.:T well done to melissa75, rainmac and saveapenny for being kind.


Have been looking at elements range of emblelishments blueberry barn has some good stuff. The card blanks with panels to stick something do look easy. Though I do want to make some more time consuming ones.

Polly - I'll have to get my thinking cap on now!
Brookeslay - I have just started using buttons and paper flowers on my cards, you might be able to find some cheap ones. Make sure you have loads of adhesive. I use double sided tape which works great. Foam double sided tape comes in handy as well. You can use it for decoupage or for raising areas on your card. Poundland do a pack with rolls of tape and sheets of foam pads in it which is a bargain.
Charlie23 - you can get mini books of decoupage which would be ideal to take into hospital. I"ve got a few and they're great. You can get some disney ones. Some of them come with sheets of matching backing paper for some of the designs which is really handy, and the designs aren't too intricate. If you're interested I'll post you a link to a mickey mouse one that I've just bought. (Great idea saveapenny).

Think I'll have to opt out of the challenge this week. What with having this wretched cough and what seems like loads of christmas stuff to finish I can't see I'll have the time. Sorry
