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

Hugs to anyone who needs them!

I get my paper from Tesco - that way I can pretend it's from the housekeeping .

I spend too much on craft stuff as well - but not as much as OH spends on beer or weekends away with the boys :rotfl:. He did bring me some lovely perfume back last night though

Furrypig - I've just been looking for something on my pc & come across an old email from a friend with photos of a baby Panda growing from tiny new born (think Padsters budgies) to recogniseable Panda. I think it's too big to put on here but if you pm me your email addy I can send it direct - I've also got one or two images of 'cartoon' type pandas if you'd like them.

Talking of budgies - we have 5 at the mo - 2 of them are going to be green so will try and take some more pics but mum is a moo and bites :rotfl:.

First lot are now in with the big ones and getting on ok - having to get used to the pecking order (literally!)

Ohhhh dear Mrs Tidge I'm really sorry your name was missed off the list :o:o

WOW!! Rusty your pocket card is fab :T I really think I need that
stamp

Npsmama I have posted your stuff this morning

Marg I have posted your ATC too


Got my papers and stamps this morning from the Craft Emporium and the Cute Whimsical images from ebay, just need to stop making pocket cards NOW. Honestly they are so easy and so pretty they really are addictive, I made 2 more last night.

I could easy over spend on crafts, I was trying not to spend more than £10 on papers the other day and ended up spending £22.20 plus £6 on ebay :eek: I don't really feel guilty though I don't do anything else and DH goes flying once a month so my spends are quite minimal in comparison to his.

I am jealous as both of my swappees for the card swap and the stash swap are on holiday! :rotfl:

Flourgirl thankyou for the kind comments, if you would like me to stamp you some for now then I don't mind, just send me a PM with your addy again if you do please

I am desperate to make a couple more pocket cards and OH has suggested I make one for his dad for fathers day

flourgirl

Thanks for the offer Rusty but I think I might buy it. I have just got these

cazcarol - hi, great challenge card :T

flourgirl and paddington - thanks for the link instructions, you wouldn't believe it but I did a html and javascript programming course a few years ago, but seem to have forgotten it all

New card on my blog here (hope it works :rotfl:)

Congratulations to EmmaOC for winning the challenge.:T
Sorry I missed the it (again ) I have no fairies, unicorns etc so will have to skip this one too

Can I ask - what do you ladies do your card making on ? What I mean is, do you have a special mat or board or anything ?
At the mo I use the dining table, but its got a cloth on so things don't lie flat. My cutting mat is only small so not much use, so I just wondered what you all did ?

flourgirl - sorry to hear about your shoulder and neck problems. I had similar symptoms when I had a car accident and had a trapped nerve in my neck so I can sympathise. Thanks for the pocket card instructions,I've saved them to try it

npsmama- sorry you're having a hard time - sending ((hugs))

louby-lou-lou - fab pirate card :T

Rusty - gorgeous fat card :T

Hello everyone,
Rusty your card is fab well done, I can't wait to try it out!
Skiegirl Your card is stunning, is that difficult to do?
I made my "New Home" card thanks to The Wife for the image I'll post some pics later.

I hope this doesn't sound cheeky but I was wondering if anyone would fancy selling me some 12 x 12 papers I'm looking for boyish colours and 2 pinkish colours, all the sets I seem to find in craft shops are for 18sheets plus! I am more than happy to pay the going cost and arrange payment for postage, I just know if I do it through someone on here I'll be chuffed with what I get, if that makes sense! If anyone of you could help could you let me know!
