If anyone else has made a card and should be on this list please let me know as I am trying to keep up with the cards ready for the end of the challenge on Monday.
Hiya Rainmac - can you add me to the list please - I have made a card for this challenge and posted it yesterday - hopefully should be able to upload photo later today or tomorrow once Mel has received it!! thanks!
Saveapenny - I couldn't seem to find your DT card - must be having a floopy moment!!
I have been making an anniversary card for my hubby and decided to try and make it in black and white so that I can enter it for the challenge on... I think its funkyfairies! Anyway - I think it needs something else added to the front but can't think what to use - tried black/white flowers but they looked toooo girly - anyone got any suggestions please - it just doesn't look quite 'finished' iyswim - I really do struggle with man cards!!

Oooh also had some good news - my pocket card I made recently (actually for the MSE Embossed thankyoucard here) that I sent to our friends as a thankyou/acceptance for their wedding party - well they loved it so much that they are interested in me making their wedding 'thankyou' cards! woop woop - soo exciting! Plus someone else I know is getting married next year and has asked whether I do wedding invites!!! Said I haven't but would love to do some so keep me in mind!!!
Off to catchup now!!0 -
Popkins - I think it looks just fine as it is! If I add more it usually spoils a card. Yours looks elegant. May I ask how you achieved the 'frill' round the circles please?0

That's gorgeous Popkins, I love black and white, looks very elegant indeed.
I think it looks ok too without adding anything else to it.

Just lost my long post!!! B* computers! Here's an edited version
Furry Is it you that's got 4 right on the CP challenge? I managed 2 one of which is mine!
Rainmac - my baby card is made but I can't show yet either. Have I got till tea time on Monday? I have another to do, so, if that's finished in time, I'll show that one.
Clarissa - I never have inspiration until the last minute! I even go in card shops looking for ideas I can (sort of) copy! Sad!
Snap Marg, I got 2 too :rolleyes:
Have added Popkins, furry and Marg to the baby card list

Thanks for comments everyone!!
Marg - the 'Love' frilly circle is actually a 'freebie' image I downloaded from somewhere - sorry I'm soooo rubbish at remembering where I get things from! Think is was Lily-boo something blog!?!!! Anyway - I can send it to you if you want it? I used it to create the 'Happy Anniversary' one by copying & paste into powerpoint & then I put a black circle over the top to cover up the 'Love' & added my own text - iyswim?!!!
anyway let me if you'd like it & I can email it you no probs!!0 -
Mmmm can't work out how I submit my black & white card to the Funkyfairys challenge? can anyone enlighten me pleeeeese!! thanks ever so!!
Rainmac - I know its soooo exciting! If a little scarey - what if they don't like what I make?!! EEEK!! will have to do some research about prices too!!!! I keep looking at your blog to see if you've added a picture of the wedding invites you did recently (I'm soooo nosey)!!! Would love to see them - how did you work pricing? And were you just given a colour/theme & you designed from that?
anyway I really should be doing housework & have been crafting ALL morning!! tut tut not a good wifey!!! Really want to get the house looking nice & a nice meal cooked for hubby coming home as its our anniversary!! Not our wedding anniversary (that was in May - 9yrs) but the anniversary of the day we met 17yrs ago!! We've always celebrated it as we never thought we'd get married - took him 8yrs to propose!! LOL!!0 -
Popkins - Oh Yes please!!
Many Congratulations on your 'meeting' anniversary!
My DH is weeding whilst I 'fritter' the morning away! ie anything that isn't getting ready to go to MIL's to do her cleaning!!! Who wouldn't rather 'fritter'?0
