Fantastic cards Mabel, I do love looking at this thread but I'm afraid I don't comment that often...

I can't tell that Daniel's card is off-centre, even though I know (because you've told me) that it is. I'm sure he won't mind and will be thrilled with his beautiful personal only-one-of-its-kind card.

[pamelam]

The cards are so sweet, Mabel!
Have a great holiday!

I've run out of words to express what I think of your work, Mabel. It's a pleasure to browse you thread now and then.

[Fljotsdale]

Lovely cards, Mabel - and I didn't notice the dog was off centre until you pointed it out!

[Rose]

They are both very cute and I am sure the off center is not going to be noticed.

[cassle]

Oooooh they are so cute!!! Umm, do you love calligraphy Mabel?

I love both the stitches and your words as well!

[Cecilia]

As usual, your woek is beautiful. I'm in awe of those wonderfully neat stitches.

Great cards, Mabel

[annkor26]

Oh my, those are so cute!

[Nachstenliebe]

Those cards are so cute! I can't tell the doggie is a bit off center and I'd like to think I would have a better sense about that than a 6 year old... I'm sure both children will love these cards! I love the fabric the kitty is on

Just a quickie to show how I mounted the Russian Whale, it's an A5 card in mat silver from Craft Creations:



Craft Creations have wonderful cards, but their standard postage charge of £3 does make it very expensive when you only want about 4! And I was a little miffed when they sent me those four together with an enormous catalogue weighing more than half a kilo which I hadn't asked for and won't be using. So I sent an email to sugget that they charge less for small orders and recoup that money by not sending out very heavy catalogues with those small orders. I got an apologetic email back saying the new catalogue was sent out as standard, whatever the size of the order, but she did understand £3 was a lot of postage when your actual order was less than that, and she'd suggest they add a different charge for smaller orders. We'll see!

I also managed to do a little of DTBD's hair -- the variegation is clearer in real life, and looks fun



I'm sorry I haven't commented on everyone's work, I'm trying to at least have a look at it but that's about all I can manage !

[Smiley]

oooo!! I like that dare to be different design!! So different!!!!
your work is wonderfull!!
I also like those two cards you made, the puppy and cat cards
The fabric you used for the cat is very pretty!

[Sarah Gixxer]

Love the whale and the little dog and cat cards.

I do agree that £3 standard postage is a bit steep. I hope they take your suggestion on board and omit the catalogue with small orders and charge a bit less.

[Rose]

THe card is beautiful and Dare is coming along nicely.

[burgundyice]

Dare To Be Different looks great!!!

And am a little awed at how similar the cat and dog in Daniel & Anne's cards look to our own cat and dog on here -
