    Npsmama - your tilda cards are gorgeous - can I ask what papers you've used for both of them? Your scrapbook pages are lovely too, and I'm sure your friend will love her card.

    OK< this is in answer to this question posted like 6 pages ago :rotfl:
    the papers are from the For Him Papermania Colossal pack for the anniversary card...
    and the blue card...the papers were from one of the various swaps on CP!

    Having kittens at the moment

    ...not even been making cards for many months... decided to do a scrapbook for my Nan's 90th in November... WHY???? ... Why did I do it?

    Sitting here hyperventilating hehehe.... why did I decide to do it? Surely you start small with playing about with family photos before you decide to do something this...this.... *huge* ..... this could all go terribly terribly wrong...

    Managed to sell a few things on Ebay so bought a couple of scrapbooks to look at

    here and here

    It's a start...right?..... lol I'm such a plonkah

    i got some small ones to practice on and still find it scary haven't even opened the pack yet .
    Got some bigger ones ready for when i do and i had a loads of scrapbook stuff from here and 20% off everything until midnight tonight .

    Kaitlyn wants to do a scrapbook page for the kids challenge on crafty place so i may have to jump in at the deep end so to speak. Grandad's going to print her some pictures and she's chosen some paper and has loads of embellishments on hand lol . She has more courage than me. She has seen everyone elses and wants to do one.
    She did her first atc the other day and all i can say is it puts mine to shame. Pic will be on her blog soon but she needs to know it's reached it's new owner first.
