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

louby-lou-lou

Was it mcarthur glen you went to flourgirl? I haven't been there for ages. I love the thorntons shop there umm hot chocolate. I am thinking that i will need to get any last bits done really this week for my craft fair as it is half term next week and won't get a thing done with ds around. I have just had a banner made up for my business it was only a freebie but i think it looks good.

Hi Louby Yes it was. How many reindeer labels did you want?

Skiergirl

Sorry ladies, I haven't been around for a few days

Fantastic cards, bags, spares and containers everyone :T:T

Mumhug - congratulations on your new job

flourgirl - your room looks 'normal' to me. DH announced on fri evening that someone he deals with at work is coming to visit us this week - hence why I haven't been around much

Hels - glad you had a good holiday

Hi Sherie and welcome

rainmac - Glad you had a lovely weekend

MrsTidge

Hi all!

Brilliant cards everyone - will try and comment on blogs later tonight when my darlings are in bed!

Hels-welcome back - and good luck with the wedding prep. Only a little while till the NEC though - yay! I have a huge confession - I just found your SAE that I was going to fill with scallops - I promise I will do some tomorrow for you!:o

Ali - why is it that men are so hard to make for? I find myself actually saying no sometimes rather than try to make a card for someone - if they aren't into beer or football Im stuck!

Furry - I must say your weekend sounds idyllic. We have season tickets to an Arboretum near here but won't make it this year to see all the autumnal colours - must be more organised!

Re: memento I went and bought one for use with promarkers, but just can't stamp properly with it either.

Welcome sh3ri3 - your cards are absolutely lovely. I adore the snowman one on the 1st page. :T

Flourgirl- thanks for the link - and also the glitter story!

Rainmac - your weekend sounds lovely too. I agree with you about the pre-school staff - I couldn't do it!

Flourgirl - love the snowman spare parts - but just what parts of a snowman are they:D

flourgirl

His body of course. lol

Sh3ri3 - all your cards are lovely - well done!
Melissa - your easel card looks great & your notepads are so cute:T
Rainmac- glad you had a nice time on Saturday.
Flourgirl - what a nightmare with your glitter. Your Snowman spares look lovely - I've not heard or seen of those sweets - but will have to have a look now they sound yummy!;)
Mrs Tidge - lol - thought I was doing ok for boys birthday cards but now have a complete mental block - and trying to think of Christmas ones really narrows it down!!! Think will have a look for Ian stamped images on ebay to top up for birthdays and maybe have a look at the Jolly Nation toppers for hubbys christmas card - then need to think for my 2 boys - oh the strain on my brain - its not good -I know - I think I'll get a glass of wine!;)

I have stamped and scanned the snowman image I can email it if you like, it will fit your 1 1/2" punch.

That would be fab if that's ok
