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

Lucy Lu - well loads of us use their 6inch x 6 inch paper pads for making our cards. You get 36 (I think) sheets in them, the paper is really thick and you get several sheets of plain papers which are great for matting and layering. The trouble is its really hard to find them cheap anywhere!! Normally they're about 4.50 - 5.50!!! A lot of us managed to get the pads from "theglittergarden" when she had them on offer, but they're out of stock now. I bought a couple of pads that I didn't have from thecraftsuperstore recently because there was a 15% off code (pc22) floating around, it probably still works, their postage is high though - but its free if you spend over 40 quid.
I'll have a look tomorrow to see if I can find any bargains!!

Lucy Lu I try not to pay full price for my BG stuff or at least find it on free p&p. Melissa is brilliant at finding the cheapest for us. Anyone who finds a bargain usually posts a link for us

npsmama - I'm sorry I've just realised that I missed off your card. I too think its genius how you have him sitting in the circle - I really like the colours that you've used and the other circles - how have you done them???

Hey everyone - hope you're all well. Think it's been over a week since I've been on MSE :eek:. Not seen many of the challenge cards, but I'll try reading backwards a bit.

rainmac - I got your wonderful parcel for the Green Card Challenge. Thanks so much. I've taken a picture and will post it up later. Not made any cards in the last week. After being away on holiday and then lots of re-decorating going on in the house, I've not had any spare time for anything
