Making cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (part 2)

Fab cards everyone, wow you're a talented bunch :T :T :T

Mel, my MIL asked me the day I gave birth to DS2 when was I going to try for my girl :rolleyes: :mad: (she has 3 boys). I could have easily given her a slap but couldn't move about too quick as I'd just had a baby

Crafts U Love are offering free postage from today till Monday. They have but of a sale still on - some Quickutz dies, Magnolia stamps... are you tempted to look yet... http://www.craftsulove.co.uk/index.html :rotfl:

Saveapenny, so sorry to hear you're still having teeth problems but glad the whiskey helped

Rainmac - I think I'll have to order from craftsulove - they stock hello kitty papers which are nearly impossible to get in this country so I might treat myself to those!!!
Saveapenny - whenever I had any illness my Grandad used to try to get me to have whiskey!!! Glad you're feeling better!!! Beautiful challenge card, lovely papers and a fab image.
Mumhug - great card, love the butterflies and spotty paper.
It is hard having two boys, mine are close in age - only 18 months apart! When my nieces come round they behave completely different to my boys, my nieces tend to tell tales and cry a lot and have tantrums, whereas when my boys are annoyed with each other they'll have a little scuffle and then they're best friends again. My youngest is now excited - he wanted a little brother and my oldest is so cute he keeps saying "mummy - I love your baby".

I had to order too - got a couple of stamps (I know I don't stamp but going to give it another go), some cardstock and other stuff that looked lovely

Hi ladies,
I'm glad the whiskey helped Saveapenny, I do hope your tooth sorts it'self out soon.

Lovely cards everyone, I don't know where you all get your ideas for layouts, they are fab! I think I am going to be a bit more ambitious with my designs from now on. Wish me luck! lol!

s_michaels

saveapenny what is your blog address I don't think I've become a follower yet,

saveapenny

Its http://saveapennyscraftybits.blogspot.com/

s_michaels

thank you.

Can I have your guys input about the blogs please.

I have loads of drawings that I'd love to put on a blog or a website, should I just put them on my lilmisstree blog or should I do a seperate blog/webpage?

Back on topic; I am away this weekend but hope to do the challenge card next week but don't know who to do it for lol. It is a tearing challenge this week right?

melissa75_2

S_michaels - yes its a tearing challenge. I'd probably put your drawings on the same blog, that's just me though I'd probably get confused having two.
I've managed to get up to date with everyone's blogs this morning - crikey there's so many now!!! I've managed to do a card for the tearing challenge (well I thought I'd better seeing as though I set it), and one for Polly's new blog. I've put them both on my blog, try to ignore the first one, I don't like it at all!!!!
