Well done Saveapenny sounds like it was worth taking them

I'm sorry I forgot to say thankyou for the link to your photo hosting. Really appreciate it but somehow forgot to reply and say thankyou!

melissa - thanks for the codes. I'll give them a try. Really I only want the scrapbook............they had a lovely polar blanket that would have been lovely but its sold out

I've had their catalogue for years Mary. I've stopped ordering out of it now as the bill is too high and they kill you with interest so I'm trying to pay it all off.

melissa - they started sending me their catalogue last year - if I do get anything I shall pay it off straight away. Last thing I need is a load of weekly payouts.

RustyFlange - i love your halloween card, its lovely!
gangstabird - your thankyou card is gorgeous.. that would work well as a valentine card too i think, or an i love you card.
melissa - your scrapbook pages are gorgeous. i'm making notes for when i start in on scrapbooking...
Saintchris - i like your christmas cards, the snowman one is so nice, makes you smile!

Thanks for everyone's compliments on the parchment card i did last weekend.. thought i'd share some more of the cards i've made.. the first batch have been made with commercially available toppers and recycled xmas cards (i made about 12 in total but these are the nicest i think - you can see the rest on flickr, here, but be aware some of these are photos of last year's cards).







the second batch were all my own work .. using a combination of stamps, ink, embossing powder, and various punches..







i made 10 of the three cards above, so my "stock" of cards stands at 22... i've had a day off from crafting today but tomorrow i'm itching to try some more!

thislove the cards kethry they are fab!

I know this is late but I have only just got round to making it - it has got a cat on it so it could count for this week (pleeeeease!!)

the print quality isn't wonderful as my printer is very low on ink but wanted to see what it would look like anyway.

huge thanks to saveapenny

anyway here is my halloween card:



this is my first try at decoupage - have I done it right?!

Mary - glad to help!
Kethry - a lovely selection of xmas cards. I love the red glittered card/paper that you used on the last one.
Bunbun2 - I think your halloween card is fab. I love the image.
Well youngest son has chicken pox. I have never had it, so I don't know what it's like. I googled it and it said to bath them in bicarbonate of soda to help the itching - luckily I still have a 3kg bag full from when I was going to make bath bombs.
