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

JailhouseBabe

Here's a few freebie sites I've come across - not sure if the links have been posted before?

Grab Some Stash - from what I can gather they regularly post links to different free downloads.
Raspberry Road Designs - the latest freebie link on the above site is from this shop.
Freebie Friday - has a new download every week (I think it's always an image). They're also featuring a link to a new sketch challenge.

:eek:Hi all my daughter can join the ill club she has just been diagnosed with swine flu:eek::eek: I am just trying to get some more info on what to do about the rest of us. She has been given the tami-flu drugs but obviously I have a little one (3 )so am a bit cncered about him. Also I fall into the high risk category. A bit of a nightmare all in all.

I was just coming on here to say the same thing as mumhug. I just collected my sons from school and they both have letters about confirmed cases of swineflu at their schools. 1 is primary and 1 in Comprehensive. The comprehensive its effected 2 boys and a teacher. The primary school is a girl. Both schools are on high alert and have zero tollerance now for ill children. :eek:

Sending mumhugs daughter huge hugs and hopes that you all escape this nasty flu.

Oh My!! :eek: How awful for you and your family! How do you think your daughter got it? Do you think it was from school? What are the symptoms like? How is she? Sorry for all the questions, but it would be useful to know what to look out for. Sending virtualhugs to all your family.

Hi yes i think that she has got it from school. The symtoms are just flu like symtoms. Hope this helps.

I'm so so sorry for those of you affected by swine flu - how awful!! _pale_

I know very little about it (I deliberately don't watch the news as it triggers off depression/anxiety in me) but my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Just incase mumhug is sorting her poorlies out

The letter we received from school states. That the symptoms at present are not severe- much like a cold with a temperature

Couldn't wait to have a play with my new nesties, so made this ultra quick card using Basic Grey Sugared papers and the free stamp from last months Creativity mag.

That's beautiful!! :T

However this is officially the least moneysaving thread I can think of!! Everytime I look at the wonderful creations you all make/hear of how much fun you're having with your new toys I am sooooo tempted to spend money!!

So much so that I when i was in town today I bought the Woodware Fingerguard trimmer (it can do different patterned borders :j) but this now means that the Stampin Up Scallop Border punch which I only recieved this morning :doh:is no longer needed by me so I'm trying to sell it!

I MUST stop my reckless spending on craft stuff. I will spend my time feeling guilty otherwise.

Quiksave - great xmas card, its really clever how you've made the tree.

Jailhousebabe - thanks for the links.

Mumhug - sending hugs to you and your family.

Well ladies - I am panicking - I've just gone upstairs to pack my bag for the hospital and I can't remember for the life of me how much stuff to pack???? How many nappies/ baby grows do I need - aahhhh!!! Its stupid really as I only live a 5 min walk away from the hospital.

Just wanted to pop on and send big hugs to mumhug and also to choccy, hope your littlies are on the mend soon. I am so shocked by hearing about this but like npsmama I know very little about it. So sorry if I seem ignorant.

Flourgirl your card is beautiful.

Skiergirl - I love your new christmas card! Very funky!!

Melissa chill out a bit!! ... you will put yourself in hospital sooner if you don't calm down!! When I had DD I packed 3 sleepsuits, 3 vests and I forgot my nappies but we werent allowed to use our own in the hospital anyway unless they were washables so you ought to just ring and check. I also took 2 blankets and a going home outfit for baby. Remember most hospitals won't allow you to leave the hospital now without a car seat.

Hope this helps you ... I was on a 6 hour discharge, I had her at 4:19am and was home by about 11am :eek: I did however use all my sleepsuits and vests ... she decided to pooh whilst I was trying to get her clean from the poo before :rotfl:
