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

Skiergirl

I went to Sainsburys yesterday (first proper day of the holidays here) - the lady in the queue behind me had 2 kids with her (about 5 and 7). The LO was having a tantrum and the mum was saying ' roll on september' :rotfl:

OAP - Happy Belated Birthday :beer:

Rusty - do you want to come and kick my rear into action too . Good luck - I'm sure whatever you come up with will be fab

I'm still having some pain in my back, but can at least drive and walk again now. I'm wary of lifting or bending too much though and my craft box is very heavy :rotfl:

Rusty - I promise I will definately take it apart - I'll just leave it a few days so that I can admire it a bit more first. Great news you've dragged your boxes out - now get crafting!!!

OAP - a belated happy birthday - sounds like you had a lovely time!!

flourgirl Willow's party will be in full swing now hope they are all having a good time and the weather has kept fine.

Willow your thank you cards are lovely. the images are so well coloured and I love the flower ones. your friends will be so pleased to get one of those:T

melissa so glad you liked your baby presents. huge thanks to Rusty for organising it all:T I love the cards on your blog - the colours are gorgeous:T neither of my two have had imaginary friends - that must be hard. it is hard giving them a bit of independence. ds1 goes to secondary school in a year's time so we are doing it bit by bit otherwise he will be in for a shock!

rainmac congratulations on winning the challenge. you deserve it you have been so generous giving prizes for other challenges. well done also on getting another card in a magazine. will have to look out for that one:T hope you managed to get your wedding cards/bows done today. i think a baby card challenge is good - I have to make 2 Christening cards for my cousin's twins and need to get my act together!

JHB thanks for the reminder to vote for PLM - have done it. fab thank you card - I love the image:T

Mrstidge hope you have a great holiday. we have always talked about doing Eurocamp with the boys but haven't yet. I used to camp in France with my parents and think French campsites are great for children. I have some good memories of camping in France. I posted your card today so hope you get it before you go away. I love the layout and colours of your wedding anniversary card:T hope your ds is better today

cgcockcroft happy wedding anniversary! fab cards on your blog:T

salesadmin fab cards on your blog:T I love your Christmas cards and the ballerina is so cute. love the thank you card too

gemm fab thank you card - I love the hedgehog it is cute:T

padingtondoo I LOVE your pocket card:T

Kim fab cards I love the duck one:T

marg great cards I love the Thomas one. my two have now outgrown Thomas but he was certainly a favourite:T

rusty ds was fine. I went to pick him up and he insisted on walking 10 paces in front of me! well done for getting your boxes out - so you aren't going to be giving me all your stash then:rotfl:

Happy belated birthday Gemm and OAP:j

Rainmac - no purchase of wabbits as yet (but might be needed for this challenge - lol)! and congratulations on winning the challenge.

I daren't buy anything as I've just got 2 more sets of nesties and a box of goodies from Every Moment Matters - fortunately delivered when OH was out - glad it didn't rain as postie had left it propped up by the french doors .

My DD is 9 and walks to school on her own but saying that we live in a little village and there are 4 of them that meet up on the way and school is only about 10 mins away anyway - I won't let her come home on her own though as I would be worried where she got to

Thank-you ladies for your comments on Willows cards,:T she was absoloutely thrilled when I said we could put them on my blog for you all to see. As well as decorating the cards she wrote a thankyou message inside each one.
The party started off great, the trampoline a deffinate hit, my DIL had decorated the living teepee in the garden with flowers and put a quilt and cushions on the floor inside and they all sat inside to eat the bbq followed by strawberries and ice-cream. After 2 rounds of Pass the parcel it started raining, so we quickly sang happy birthday and cut the cake, just then the heavens opened luckily it was 2 minutes to home time (no chance) they all piled into the house for a DVD. We snook out and left them to it:D. Hopefully we will get a piece of birthday cake tomorrow

Melissa I'm so glad you liked the gift Rusty created for you on our behalf. All thanks to Rusty for organizing everything. We just need a baby now!!:rotfl:

I have made my challenge card and will post a picture later.

This morning I received a beautiful pocket card from Popkins for the CP swap. I love it Popkins:T and can't believe its the first one you have made. I will post a picture on CP later.

Rainmac glad to hear you have been able to make a start on the Wedding order. I know its early days yet but have you had a response from the florists?

I always prefered Children to be in the trolley at the supermarket cos once I went to Sainsburys with my 3 minded children, 2 in the trolley and the 3 year old walking. When I turned round the 3 year old had a huge jar of Beetroot clutched to him shouting "here you are Karen" OMG I nearly had a fit. Very calmly and gently I told him he was such a good boy helping me do the shopping, took it from him and lifted him into the trolley with the food :rotfl:Can you imagine if he had dropped it OMG...
