Hi

Dd and I finally did some card making this afternoon, DD Molly would like to enter her card for the challenge



It took her ages to do as she hand drew all the stalks and punched out most of the flowers. We were going to send it to a friend's mum, thus the get well message but she decidd she wanted to keep it as it had taken so long so the message isn't fixed!!

Very beautiful. All the colours in the flowers go really nicely together and I love the 'opposite to girly ' silver message very nice Go Molly!:T:T:T

Oh my word abusybee, you've posted even more - you're on such a good creative roll . I think my fave is the middle one cos I love how you've placed the frames one on top of each other. Did you cut those yourself or buy them?

I cut it out on the cuttlebug using a frame die and the paper I used to do it on was a girly one with handbags lipsticks etc that polly got me for christmas.

I would just like to say that there are never any "RUBBISH" cards on this thread. Every one is extra special as it is made by ourselves from the heart and because of that it looks fab and means so much more so no more putting your creations down. The only rubbish cards are the shop bought ones (unless they are handmade of course:rotfl: )

Hello Abusybee Can you tell me which frame die? Was it a Cuttlbug die or a Sissx? I'm on the verge of ordering some Sissix dies from their sale as recommended by Paddingtondoo on the Cuttlebug thread.
Thank you

abusybee - I agree - no cards are ever rubbish on here - they are all special.
Rustyflange - I really like your green card, the picture on the panel is really pretty.
I would be happy to take part in a card swap, give me time to make a nice one though!

Furrypig - can't wait to see your daughter's next creation.

Abusybee - another fantastic lot of cards. I think my favourite is the cupcake one, is the flower one of the papermania ribbon sliders, I kept meaning to buy some and I never got round to it?

Thanks all

Rainmac, the idea in itself is fab, however not one for me as my cards are rubbish in comparison to those on here! not one I will be partaking in

Abusybee, wow your cards are lovely!! I love the cupcake one!

Rusty' I loved your one with the busty babe and the glass of wine and it would have made me laugh out loud if I had got that in the post!! :rotfl: so don't feel like that, I've only made a few cards and to be honest I'm pretty much in awe of lots of the people on here. Many just seem to have a natural ability and I have to work quite hard and my results are fine but no where near as good as many from this forum. Having said that I think everyone is really supportive and generous with ideas and advice etc etc and noone seems to be judgemental about the calibre of my cards so I enjoy coming here and sharing with you all.

This thread and the gifty thrifty thread are my favs as I feel I'm amongst friends and call you all my friends which makes DD laugh and most people think I'm mad with all my virtual buddies (well you are all real to me!!!)
:beer: to you all! xxx
