hi guys
just wondered if anyone knows of any good websites with easy to follow sketch designs to use with a craft club i help run at school. it's mai ly to help with their confidence but one of the girls has non and thinks everything she does is rubbish, so i thought we could all follow a sketch and see what we produce.
thanks in advance

Evening all. Friday night and I'm sat watching the soaps with the laptop on my knee - what a glamourous life I lead

Hels and CT - I love your triangle cards, I'm sure your mums will be very happy on Sunday.

mumhug, flourgirl and saveapenny - I love your challenge cards. They all look so neatly torn (does that make sense?)

As saveapenny has noticed, I've jumped on the blog bandwagon. I think you have to have a blog to comment on others? Anyhow, mine is pretty bare at the moment - all I've put on is my profile. I'll try to add some pictures later, and figure out how to pretty it up a little. It looks very disjointed as it is. I've become a follower of all the ones with links posted on here over the last few days; I'll try to get some comments on them later as well! For now, I'll just say that I'm loving everyones challenge cards and I'm very tempted to have a go at the Creative Crew challenge as well. There's a couple of ranges that have stood out for me - the Smirk one and another that I can't remember right now I wish I had more money so I could buy a bit of everything! I noticed artymiss are doing the Whispers pens for £20 again as well - are they really better than gel pens or any other felt-tips?

rainmac - I noticed your link for craftsulove with the Quickutz dies, but I can't figure out which ones are for the Squeeze handtool?

Gosh my posts always turn into marathons lately! Sorry. One last thing before I go - Zoe, where are you? Hope all is well and that you're at least lurking somewhere

Jamtart6 That is a beautiful card you have made for your mum, I am sure she will love it.:T :T

Well, I have taken the plunge and created myself a blog:D and whats more I managed to do it without my hubbies help:j . It looks a bit bare at the moment so in the morning I will look at changing the background and making it look more attractive. This will be a brand new learning curve for me and it's quite exciting lol! I really should get out more:rotfl:

I think I have signed up to everyone elses blog, if I have missed anyone please tell me so I can put that right.

mine is
