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

THE-WIFE_3

craftygranny you have to believe just about every word that little one of yours tell you as that is truly how I am. Purple, red, feathers and BLING!! How I love bling!

mumhug I do hope you are feeling better soon as well as everyone else that's one degree under. What was that the slogan for? Was it Andrews Liver Salts? Just getting over some pretty heavy hayfever stuff! There's about four of us in the building sneezing away and we can't work out what it is as it seems some are worse that others on different days.

I've just had to collect friend's son from school as she has swine flu. Would it be cruel if I made her a get well card with pigs on it? :rotfl:

You are soooo evil :rotfl: however it is something I would definately appreciate :rotfl:

My 2 packs of promarkers arrived today :j ... but OH asked what arrived and I said it was my log book for the car ... think I need to hide them til he goes again!!! .... however he said I could buy a pack this morning ... so I did (this would be another pack

Can't stop, I'm not dressed and in court in 1 hour 50 mins :eek: I think I need to pull my finger out!

8x8 wild asparagus is out of stock at the moment - I had a really friendly email last night - she should have it in either today or tomorrow - offered to send the other bits separately but thought I was being cheeky enough with free postage

rainmac

saveapenny, hope you feel better very soon x

paddington, love your Christmas challenge card!!! I made my ATC for the swap today, rather than noses/beaks mine has trunks on it - hope that will pass as 'noses'???

Rusty, you obviously couldn't decide between the MME ranges so bought both

I've been making a few pocket cards today, well got as far as making the pockets, they need decorating now.

I see no posts from Mel today, maybe today is baby day???

I've had a PM from greenpixey to say I have won an Amigurumi over on her blog - how exciting!!! If you haven't seen her creations go and have a look as they are fab... http://greenpixey.blogspot.com/

If she has a good sense of humour I'd say go for it

Chocolate.orange - no - I haven't tried jumping up and down yet. I still don't feel ready - so he's more than welcome to stay in my belly for another week!!!

Rainmac - no sign today, so it looks like Leo was wrong and he wont be joining us on the 10th after all. I've still got your phone number, so if I'm not too overcome with exhaustion I'll try and text you a pic when he arrives!! I'll probably be posting on here when I'm in labour anyway to try and take my mind off the pain. Those cards that you made with the "my minds eye" papers are gorgeous - I love the decoupaged flowers. Your "blue" card is fab too, I love the flowers from poppycrafts - its such a shame that she's going to stop selling them.

Flourgirl - sounds like you had a fab time at the concert, "time after time" is one of my all time favourite songs.

Whoopidoo - welcome to the thread.

Jaihousebabe - I think the get well card with the pig on it is a great idea!!!!

Paddingtondoo - great challenge card - I love that stamp - its so cute, and your altered container is fabulous - it looks great with all of the gifts in it.

Rusty - I hope everything goes okay in court. It looks like you've caught the promarker bug - I was in a craft shop this morning and they were selling them for 1.99 each!!!

I had a look in a few craft shops this morning (well two - that's all there is in Liverpool), and I was so good I hardly spent anything. I picked up a couple of rolls of double-sided tape, some glue dots and some really pretty packs of paper flowers from "the works". They had quite a few packs of embellishments for a quid on a stand. My bargain was a set of 3 acrylic blocks for stamping from "the paper mill" for 2.99. they should have been 9.99. The largest one is massive, the medium one is perfect for most of my stamps - I'm fed up of using cd cases, so I'm chuffed now.
