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

Marg

Craftgranny - Yes! That sounds about right! Only difference with ours no toys - but boxes & boxes of papers from DH's work and machines for cutting EPS plus gardening stuff that I hope to get in the shed - when we get the shed! 'Hoarders 'R' Us' is the name of our house!

Ali b - I've got some images that Popkins sent me plus a few ideas for new home cards I've done - pm me your email addy & I'll send them to you. Going out this afternoon but will do when I get back if not done before I go.

CGCockroft - pm'd you

JailhouseBabe

Woohoo - exam over!! Think it went well.
choccy - a bit late to wish you luck, so I hope all went well.

Does anyone have these Manga stamps? I feel a new addiction coming on!
My Tesco voucher came yesterday for the NEC; can I be good and not buy anything until then? I doubt it!!

Craftygranny - lovely cards for Maddison - my favourite is your tri-fold one, you are very clever - I didn't dare attempt this one.

Mrs.Tidge - hope you have a fab time! I noticed they had some dl scalloped card blanks the other day - I was tempted.

Myzdamena - hope you feel better soon.

Rainmac - those houses are so cute.

Also Cazarol : Has your postman brought you your card ? Appologies if you have already posted and ive missed it [/QUOTE]

Hi Choccy, Mr Postie has delivered !! I did post a message but you know how quickly these messages disappear - it might even have been over on CP. The card is gorgeous, thank you and also thank you for my images, I can have a play colouring them in. I love these card swaps, even if they are quite a challenge at times !!!

Hiya Ladies,
Thankyou all so much for your kind words of encoragement yesterday you all cheered me up thankyou.

Well we don't lie you know... if you make a crud card we'll all tell you :rotfl: I really liked it because even though it was 'full of fun' it wasn't too much... I defo don't like cards that are too much

Popped in to catch up cos I got up to go to the loo (yeah TMI but what can you do, Myz is Myz - I'm just so addicted to you guys already! Like rays of sunshine in my boring life lol )

Thanks for all your get well messages for me, I didn't really want to make it A Big Thing it was just so that you could all make your own entertainment for a few days and not keep going 'hey it's quiet, where's Gail?'

I must be quite run down though as I don't like actually resting in bed... sitting on the sofa is usually as far as I'll take it... and my Papermania papers and other stuff came this morning....and I haven't even opened it yet! :eek:

:rotfl:

...yeah must be bad eh?

/Ninja *h*u*g*s* everyone and runs away again

(ok walks slowly )
