i've been busy lately i had a order for 230 wedding invites which took up all my spare time. I managed to make some crads over th weekend using sporty george from http://www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/ he is going to make mens cards so much easier. anyway here are my first attempts.

just made a quicky card. never used this shape before. i spotted these in one of my old mags last night and thought i'd give it a go. i dont think it looks too bad. what do you think? another pink petticoat
