Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

Hi! Dallam and welcome to the bestest cardmaking forum ever! That's me over on your blog, just left you a comment.

Marg, my entry for your challenge is over on the glob and I'll pop back later and catch up with everyone.

I'm getting ready for a large tea party this afternoon and I've made a cake and not dived into it yet.:D Thank you flourgirl, I used your recipe for Apple Cake from over on CP. I've had strict instructions from OH that I'm to bring it back home after, he'll be waiting at the door with the custard in his hand.

melissa, your be fine, im sure, the older ones will want to help by passing you nappies when doing changes etc, i always find the youngest seems to grow up slightly and become a bit more independant when a new baby comes along. its hard because you need to get that happy medium between not leaving them out completely but also showing them that the baby needs mummys attention aswell. ive always bought a little present for mine for the birth day so the new baby can give there siblings presents. another thing which has probably helped me is ive had all mine at home, so ive not been gone for a day or so. im so sure you will be fine though , and you have a girl to look forward too, all those pink and frill dresses after having boys, you will love it

georgiegirl could you please email your card to me,as my comp wont let me open your blog it just keeps closing down for some reason? thanks xx

Done - although my pc seems to have been playing up a bit as well maybe there is something in the crafty air

Hi all,

thanks for everyones kind comments and the welcome. Working my way through a few of your BLOGs and following them now.
Don't think I'll have time to read back through the whole of this thread but will try a few pages and certainly keep up from now on.

Flourgirl love the wedding invites :j

Well after my 2 day extended birthday celebrations I decided yesterday that I really wanted the Create and Craft pick of the week, ended up spending £60 on it with adding the bits on too, but its on flexi pay and looks SOOOO cute!

Can't say as I blame you - it's a very gorgeous kit but I'm resisting.


Hmm, thought I'd quoted Melissa75 as well, but seems i didn't, unless there is a limit on quoted folks - Fortunately, the legoman digi is available from one of our own.

Hi ladies,

Can anyone tell me which card it is that they are always advertising on Create and Craft please? I need some more card, i usually use Rymans smooth but i can't get to one until the week after next, so need some asap or can anyone recommend some i need it to use with promarkers?

Also is the Create and Craft Club worth it? I am thinking about joining it and am soooooo tempted by the pick of the week!

And last thing :rotfl:Would one of you more experienced ladies take a look at a card i have done? (i can't post it on my bl*g yet as it is a DT card) I'm not sure about it and can't put my finger on whats wrong with it and to make things worse it has to be uploaded tonight!

Hope everyone is well

Afternoon everyone, hope you are all ok

Flourgirl that was a lovely bonus but you deserve it

hugs to all

OK, own up, who stole the last few days :rotfl:

I don't know where this week has gone, had an opticians appt, DH has had two hospital appts in the last week. His radiotherapy consultant said it went OK and wants to see him 4 months. His haemotology consultant said radiotherapy went according to plan and wants to see him in 2 months. Again no guarantees, a reminder that it is not curable and he hopes the latest treatment brings about a longer lasting remission. DH is taking a while to get back to normal after the radiotherapy and doesn't seem to have bounced back like he did with his chemo and his bone marrow transplant. Fingers crossed he gets back to normal soon.

Again I'm so far behind I haven't managed to catch up on all the pages but I did notice

Tomsmum [/B]- I take it no package from me still? I'm going to put in yet another complaint - I bet the cheeky so n so's send me more postage stamps! Just wish they'd sort out the sorting office as it would appear that the problem lies there!

Sorry to snip you. No WBR, no package has arrived. What must be going on at your sorting office for this to keep happening? Sounds like they know they have a problem there. It must be really annoying for you and everyone else having post going missing. The only time we've ever had anything not turn up before is when it's been sent to the old address and the new owners haven't given it to us and we live about 6 steps from their back gate!

Just wanted to say I got paid today for the Wedding Invites and the lady was soooo pleased I got a £20 tip!!!! Whooo Hooo!!! feel a little spend coming on now

Sorry, snipped again. Well done Flourgirl, they must have been very happy with your invites (and seeing your cards in the flesh I know how beautifully made they are).

I see lots of new names so welcome to all newbies.

Well done winners :T

I've lost my motivation lately, not made a card since the Christmas ones. Really must get botty in gear soon with the family birthdays coming up.

Hope you're all well. Big hugs. I'll try and keep up a bit better this week .
