Thank you ladies for your comments on my cards, the ballerina was for my granddaughters birthday and she loved it.

Have you got a market near you Jean? glos indoor market has a haberdashery stall and they always have a basket of lace pieces on the counter. I got two pieces about a metre long each of inch wide lace for 50p a piece. I look forward to seeing that card. I have just been gathering a few bits together for when we are next away in case we get any wet days.

Funny enough Jude I could never knit a sweater to save my life....lol....dont really know why the dolls came easier for me,
I could mange those scarves on big needles, but anything smaller forget it !!I added my comment on caz s cards on the blog but for the record on here I agree with you Ann..... lovely....I have been making up some card blanks I had, so all I had to do was decorate them, so good way to experiment with different materials.... have you decided what you are going to make with all the fabric you have Jude? I want to get some wide white lace ,I am hopefully going to make a cherub cradle, instead of a christening card for my neighbours little girl....any ideas where I can get some lace?

love Jean xx

I thought that all the cards on the site were lovely. I have just spent the evening collaging/decoupaging a letter rack. I am now looking for some inspiration re a rather exhausted looking firescreen that I bought on ebay.

shall look forward to the pics on the blog. Although I'll pass on the trousers Lol!!!

We have gone quiet again. Nobody crafting then? Or just not got time to write about it.

You are as bad as me Jean, I have some of that 'angel hair' paper somewhere saved!!

Linda glad that you liked Sophie's page.

I have just spent the morning colouring white peel offs, I always used fibre tip pens ,but the colours were never vibrant so I got some Dufex brush pens and they are superb and they dry instantly... so pleased with them....

I have also saved wrapping paper we sometimes get with flowers, I have some orange , and its like angel hair paper, lovely as a background, and some paper that change shades, I embossed that one and its on the cards...and its big sheets too....

love Jean xx

Thanks Ann.

Ginnie, I have all the glitter girl boards , but have trouble keeping in the channel to emboss, they seem to have no trouble at all. I have managed one or two bot
usually trace it now and the use it as a template that way I can see were to go...lol... but they are very handy....

love Jean x

I love the page with the photo's of the toys on.

I also thought the rose on Caz's card was decoupage, it is a beautiful card.
Lots of different cards on the blog now.

The shed card I made was done on the embossing board by the Glitter Girls and you then add whatever toppers you wish, it is a shed but it can be adapted to make a house or church just by adding card at the side, I have done both but only have a photo of the shed.The boards are really good and I have several different ones.

Sorry Ann
Accidently deleted my comment instead of editing it.
Can't find anyway of adding photos. I changed my profle.
I have sent you a pm.
