Wow Susan they look lovely and thanks to everyone who has stitched them as well

Susan can I please ask when you make up the aperture cards what do you use to stick them with, as mine don't seem to be holding too well and I would hate them to fall apart :oops:

Janet, I use 12mm double sided tape that I buy here. I've always found it very good.

Thanks for that Susan, i do use double sided tape but I have had it for some time so perhaps I would be better getting some new, I think I will order some as I have really enjoyed doing the cards :D

CF we did say the end of March but if you wanted to do one and send it I can hang on a bit as no real deadline, it's for fun as well as helping out the charity. I know Aussiestitcher is posting to me and some others that I havn't received yet, but it's entirely up to you but no pressure :D

i'll have to wait for next round..i have one order i'm doing for my shop..my BIL is getting married soon so I'll have something for that to do..plus my dragon/castle wip..I'll try to get small cards done in between and just hang on to them till next round but don't want to let anyone down because I sign up and can't manage it.

If I do though, I'll send it off asap..i have some time..I should be able to stitch something up real fast..

Thats fine as I say no pressure we can't all join in everything there just isn't enough time what with real life stuff that gets in the way as well :D

Before I pass them on I will put a note on the thread to check there are no more on the way to me so no worries.

This is another one I have done. I know she doesn't have a mouth but there was a series of them and none of them have mouths :roll: at least she can't get fat :lol:

Why do my photos always come out so large :?: :thinks:
