Have a great time

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.

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.

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

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

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

I love both the stitches and your words as well!

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

Great cards, Mabel

Oh my, those are so cute!

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

great work!!

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 !

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!

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.

THe card is beautiful and Dare is coming along nicely.

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 -
