That's nice Dh got me a valentines card that looks like a scrapbook page, so i think he is getting it too. A few years ago he amde me a card himself, but it was too good so I banned him .

LOL peachy, maybe you and your DH should open up your own craft shop!!!

The good thing also is that we get to see new designs and copy them when they are made by a craft person!!!

The one thing I never do is copy cards. Make rubbish ones yes, but never copy. Not an intentional thng- keep seeing lovely ones in M&S- just haven't got the attentionn span. Most of my cards grow... often into the bin!

DH can keep his hobby, however he has added alphabet peeloffs to his units he builds, and I picked up few things in Maplins for mens cards (Piezzo things make good mounting on electronics persons cards).

Thanks PC for the tip
There's some nice wedding ones on the Marks & Spencers on line shopping web site for me to copy.

Maplins is great.... there's little circuit boards for a quid that you can use silver wire to decorate, all sorts of cheap male bits and bobs, glue guns, storage (great plastic card storage boxes for very little money), plus even kids toys! But if you ever go and see something expensive e-mail me, I go often (silk) and can use my student card for a ten percent discount. As I can in partners too actually, so remember that too!.
