Melissa The green page is so lovely! Well done

Did my other 2 pages today based on halloween. Just one more to go for OH and then I am done

Anyway heres the pics.

Do you like my spiders?? they turned out exactly how I wanted them to ... there won't be any white on them soon as I had just finished them and the pva was still wet which is what you can see.

Rainmac - thanks I'm still not sure whether its too green! I've got some K and co co-ordinating stickers hopefully being delivered tomorrow, so I'll have more materials to work with.
Gangstabird - lovely card, really classy, I love the edging around the card.
RustyFlange - I love the halloween pages, they're so bright and colourful. The spiders are so cute. What stickers did you use? We might be going to a halloween party, I've seen some fab papers so if we end up going I'll have to remember to take my camera.
Great xmas cards Saint_Chris, I love the stamp that you used on the first one - really clever! I think the snowman's cute too.
Saveapenny - sounds like a right bargain to me 50p for one of those lovely cards. I know what you mean though I don't think people realise the time and effort that goes into making a card, then there's the price of all the materials, they forget how much a plain card costs in the shops.

I don't think it is too green, I think it looks fantastic, I am so jealous!

Thanks for your kind comments (and from Rainmac aswell) I used Karen Foster stickers (you recommended her to me and I have a few bits now!) then just used plain paper to put them on. Used wordle on the writing in the middle and trimmed them and the spiders are black sequins which I glued on with PVA then hand drew (is that the right word?) the legs on myself

Rustyflange - I should have recognised the stickers - I have spent so many hours looking at Karen Foster stuff! I didn't buy any of her halloween stuff though. You did the spiders really well, I didn't realise that you had drawn the legs, I thought the whole thing was a sticker.

Well I searched and searched and then found some by Karen Foster and they were just the right ones if that makes sense? so I bought them. Had them off the ebay seller you recommended Ginwhit or something like that. Spiders actually turned out perfectly they are exactly how I was hoping they would turn out, had they not have done then the whole page would have been in the bin lol

Rustyflange - I'm trying to talk myself out of ordering loads from her again.

Melissa ....DO IT!!! :rotfl: If you will then I will

Rustyflange - no, you're not! Trouble is if i order the stickers that I want (and there's loads of them), then I'll have to order the matching papers too. I'm thinking of ordering loads for my xmas present to myself, getting them sent to my Mum's and then getting her to bring them up just before xmas, so that I won't have chance to play with them much before xmas and I'll have something to look forward to.
