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

Ok this is what I've got - I'll post links as OH pinched my camera for fishing again and I haven't got it back.

I still have the guitar sticker on my sheet of this if you can use it. It's like quite thin card.
The guitar is just under 4" tall and (with wings) roughly 6" from wing tip to wing tip.

I have this and if you scroll down to the 6th piccie of the sidebar in that link I have that one too in 12 X 12 but can cut the guitar segment off for you if you'd like. The creamyish colour paper guitar is roughly 4.5" by 3.5" and the red paper guitar is roughly 7.5" tall and 2.5" wide.

I've not got these but they might help? On etsy: This and this

If you type guitar embellishment on eBay it comes up with a couple of pages but not sure what you are after so try that

Hope some of that helps - love to see what you are up to Let me know if you can use my bits and I'll pop them in the post.

Oops just missed you by the looks of it

yey my flowers from calico came on sat i am very happy after all the messing around. Although all the really nice bright colours like pink and yellow were sold out and not included in my order. Wish i had ordered more of the two tonned colours as i only ordered 2. 1 purple and 1 pink but i am glad they came.

If any one sees any cheap baby things between now and november please post any links or pm me. i know it's a bit early to be thinking about it but i am hoping to do my own birth announcement cards may be i am mad and won't have time but i will be (fingers crossed) finding out what flavour i am having so i can make a start and then just write them ( or get hubby to)when the baby comes.

If you're looking for anything weddingy hels give me a shout I still have stuff saved from my wedding last year.

Finally got my lappy to see my phone so have updated my blog.

My thank you card for this challenge is on their but think I may have been sent Rainmac's mojo - you'll see what I mean if you look at the card .

Am still a nestie and basic grey free zone here although I could get seriously addicted to my minds eye .

Will post your pocket card during the week Rusty - Have to pick up car on the way to work in the morning as it's now all better.
Have done nothing today so shoulder was fine until I did the washing up - think my body is trying to tell me something :rotfl:

That's him, I think he's so cute! On QVC they were selling 3 packs of clear stamps for about £10, you got loads of stamps.

Rainmac - I remember seeing those stamps and thinking they were really good value - I can't remember what they were called either. I've had a look and I can't find them anywhere. I did find these though and they seemed good value:

I've added another card to my blog - this one's for the Mojo Monday challenge.
I've also added a list of 'eights' after being tagged on furry's blog; some of you have been tagged!
