Making Cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (Part 3)

myz now this is going to sound daft i know but could you use the hinges on your scrapbook pages or your cards to put a kind of flap over an image or a photo or some journalling kind of like they do in kids books.

The things that look like clock hands could you fix them in each corner of an image or a pic to look like they are holding the pic in place.

Told you i was crackers. goes back into her dark corner lol.

rainmac - me thinks you fibbin' I've seen your blog! you even have your craft boxes all lovely labelled - how do you get organised to do everything!! Do you have a set time that you do all your beautiful crafting or do you do bits as & when?

Honestly, I have one labelled craft box and that was for a challenge over on Crafty Place that finishes at the end of the month. I have recently tried to put a few bits in containers cos my stuff is actally getting damaged as I have too much crammed into a small space. I really am Mrs Disorganised

Wow what a compliment It's was on a recipe card I think from Sainsbury's ages ago, the recipe is very forgiving as you can leave bits out or chuck other things in. We all love it but I can't make it often as we eat it all

Rainmac - thanks for the link for the magnets - those look perfect!

S_Micheals - I can only see the bottom 1/3 of you card but it looks lovely - the petals look fab!

I hope they will be ok, I was thinking of putting one each in the top 2 corners. Ebay also has magnetic tape that you cut and stick in lengths, that was much dearer so thought I'd go for the cheapie option and see if it works

Skiergirl, if you go to a route finder on a site like the RAC and tap in the postcode of where you're staying and the postcode of the Glitter Pot it will tell you how far away you are and give you door to door directions :j
