Hello everyone
Well after looking through all these lovely cards last night I went out and bought some supplies! Think I'm going to try card making again, Your cards are brilliant!
I went to hobbycraft today and nearly bought the Crafters Companion Ultimate Pro I was so tempted picked it up put it back picked it up put ot back! My Oh even offered to pay half of it for me bless! But I thought I'd come on here first and check I seem to recall there being an offer on last year if you subscribed to a magazine you had the Ultimate Pro free?

I can't wait to get involved with some of the challenges!

Hi ive had a lovely day today and after doing the housework all morning ive been making cards all afternoon :j. My MIL has asked me to make a book for her SIL 70th birthday a bit like the Christmas one I made her, So ive folded the pages and stuck the papers onto the pages all I need to do now is the ribbon, embelishments and poems and then it can be stuck together. Here are the cards ive made today, hopefully i will be able to make some more tomorrow. (sorry the images are big)

Thats ace ZLS thanks, I could change the name to her name aswell couldnt I, I need to find some little sissors from somewhere so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be extremely greatfull I wouldnt even mind making some. The reason ZLS has posted this is because the book im making I want to do a hairdressing page as the lady its for was a hairdresser and my MIL wants me to include that into the book. Any funny or any haridressing poems would be lovely too.

Unfortunately no I dont have any of those things, the letters were stickers I bought. I love to look through lots of peoples blogs to get ideas, there are some very very talented people out there. I also have a few magazines which I use to copy ideas from. I also love flowers I could spend an absolute fortune on them given half the chance. Thank you for your compliments my family usually just take the micky out of my cardmaking/scrapbooking in a nice way but a compliment wouldnt go a miss. :cool:. Ive just bought some lovely papers called once upon a time they are lush, Ive got 2 nices and for Christmas im going to do a scrapbook for them. This is what they look like http://www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/acatalog/DCWV_Once_Upon_A_Time_Collection.html
I cant wait to use them.
