I need help!!!!!! Will someone come round and help me? I am getting really stressed about an anniversary card and a birthday one that I have to make! Everything looks rubbish, and I am buried under a mound of papers, stickers and flowers. Everytime I move something else falls on the floor!
Groovy girl - fab card!

Rainmac...thats lovely he should be realy pleased with it...ive been stiring at it to try and work out the fold...lol but still no closer

GroovyGirl...thats an excellent card and not just because its your first, its just lovely ...I wish I would have kept my first card, It was bad!!!

Awww Melissa...put 99% of it away...lol
Work out your design on scrap paper away from all the crafty clutter
Then choose the colours you want
I find when Im having a stuck day (or month) it helps to take it in steps rather than looking at a pile of stuff blankly

I would gladly come round and help but hubby wont bring me...he said its too late to go crafting...lol

Any one know where I can get some cheap double sided tape that is ok to use with photo's. I do have some at home but I do not think it is ok to use with photo's although I have been using it lol.

The reason I ask is the back ground on my easter cards is hopefully going to be a photo and I was hoping to use double sided tape to add a bit of glitter to the water fall.

I have made up a card this morning ... I will give this to OH for valentines day ... he will find it funny ... I also purposely made the card open the other way again to add to the humour.

Hi Minimacka I really hope u dont think I am really cheeky but is there any way you could show me a template pretty pretty please:o

pm me your address and i will send you one, it will be out of scrap paper though and not 12 x 12" that i made mine out of if thats ok so it will be shown slightly smaller.

rustyflange, the book doesnt lie really flat because ive put flowers into each section i will take a photo for you and upload it.

minimacka is lovely must have taken u ages

rainmac how different is that, hubby should be pleased

groovygirl that's a lovely 1st card, like the way the happy is on the side

rusty brilliant, and the final touches, bar code on the back, perfect

hope u all have a nice day, at your crafting day out.

I'm going to germany next week s-i-l is 30 tomorrow and she is having a pink parrty, so i made her a card and gave her new look gift vouchers, and bought her a pink gift set from argos.

this is the card, and on the inside i wrote the traditional german happy birthday song, hope she likes it.

i got the shoes on the right from a weblink that saveapenny posted the other day, thanks.

Rainmac - I hope you're feeling better. Sounds like you'll have a fab day tomorrow - I'm jealous! I love your peek-a-boo box - its so pretty.

Minimacka - I might attempt one of your cards tonight while the OH is out, trouble is I have a house full of three noisy boys!

Did you get one started? Once you have mastered the folding the rest is just decorating.

Thanks Chris

I love your card! It looks amazing, did you make the hangers yourself or were they part of the dresses? Also can I ask what wording you have used? Someone used some papermania ones a while back and they looked fab but I have never found any anywhere and yours is very similar
