Im realy impressed with the parchment card its something I have thought about having a go at but not got round to it yet...made after christmas

Ignore the bit of tape on the envelope I have only just noticed that....I will sort that out tomorrow
There are 6 big sheets with matching envelopes and 4 mini notelets

Saveapenny that notelet set is fantastic. :T :T And yes the challenge was either Halloween or Autumn theme. Did it take long to do?

Some fantastic cards have been posted recently! I've been really slack and not made anything since the wedding... Will have to change that today, a friend of mine lost her bf over the weekend so I'll be making a sympathy card this afternoon to pop round... I felt awful I couldn't be there for her because we were in Liverpool with the In Laws again this week but DH has said he'll sit in with DD in the evenings if I want to go and sit with her which is good of him...

Sorry, I seem to of rambled there! Hope everyone is well anyway!

I have no idea what I am going to do with it...lol Like I said I was just all carded out
Its not on very thick card so its not very stable
It only took last night to make I printed all the stuff for it off in the week but with everything else going on I only got round to making it last night ( as you can see by the time I posted it...lol)
The part that took the time was cuting out the envelopes ( off photobucket)
The outer part is just an A4 sheet of card with a 3cm turn up on the bottom...it was realy simple
If anyone wants the note paper I can load it on
If I get time I will sort everything out in to an animal section ...It might help for the challenge

Thanks Melissa for setting this weeks , I still have 2 weeks to think of somethign but I already have 1 idea which will make you all work...lol

Is anyone into card stiching? http://picasaweb.google.com/rozenvlinders3 you just need to download Picasa if you having already got it and download the album you want there are a lot of books in Dutch but Im sure someone said they speak Dutch so fill ya boots with free books...correct me if im wrong but these books usualy sell for about £6-7 each. These Picasa sites usualy get shut down once they get found out they are putting stuff up ike these so download what you want from it ASAP or next time you go to it it might be shut

Saveapenny - lovely notelets, I love flower fairy images, they are so pretty.
Krystaltips - sorry about your friend.
I thought I would bore you all with some pics of the scrapbook pages I have been working on for my Mum's xmas present. I thought I had better start it as I have a few other things to make, I'm afraid my cards have taken a back seat at the minute.
