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

Pinkladymel: Congartulations on your win.

Got 2 sets of nestabilities, and another set on order as they didnt have them in.
Got some papers (2 big packs and loads of individual sheets)
Got some gorgeous card that i will cry when i have to cut it. And
a few more embellishments. I would have bought more but didnt have the time as we had other stuff to do.

I'm hoping to sit down tonight and make a few cards to see how they turn out, providing the kids behave themselves and go to sleep.

The house wasnt as big as we thought it would be but we think it will work, but we've fallen in love with the garden so it will have to do. BUT there is no room for my office which im a little gutted about. So it looks like it is the shed for me after all.

And i bought my final christmas present from my list, so that's everyone sorted present wise, and i wont be buying extra's like i usually do i have a crafting addiction to pay for now.

Thanks Rusty for the offer but i darent take you up on it - i really want to meet you all so i may see if i can twist my sisters arm into taking me down, we can stay over night and i can have my head out of the window all the way there and back (plus lots of stops since i cant even get into the centre of Durham without hyperventilating lately!!) :rotfl: Do you have a place where youre all meeting, namebadges etc just incase?

Thank you for all of the lovely congratulations.. it feels real now

Mel, the secret millionaire episode was the one with the Scrap dealer. I drive past that building in Blackpool every single year and never knew it was where they take care of terminally ill children. I am going to take a bag of toys with me next year when I next visit.

Whoopidoo - Totally DID NOT know that my blog was on the front page of UKS! Thanks for letting me know you beady eyed lady xx

Rainmac - I know exactly what you mean about your OH being an extra kid - I took mine plus DD to Tesco on Saturday and was just about ready to knock their heads together by the fruit and veg and that's right near the door :eek:.

Congratulations PLM and thanks for the info on the freebie Gemma - I didn't have enough change for the parking machine outside Sainsbury's so couldn't tell the lady in there that I "knew" the star of the mag as I didn't want to get clamped .

Have added the button to my blog Craftygran and will get cracking with some stuff I got a couple more diaries in the £1 shop this morning when I nipped in for sticky pads couldn't believe I was almost out!

Now off to supervise DD running the bath she went to an outdoor pursuits centre today with the Youth Club to do quad biking and ropes and zip wires I've been a nervous wreck all day but she had a fantastic time - the best bit was the price - a whole £1 :T:T and that included coach travel and lunch.

Will take pics of yesterday's makes and stick them on my blog later

Sounds like your DD got brilliant value for money today, usually they charge a fortune for those kind of activities. Must have been heavily subsidised. Leaves more money for bears though! lol

Flourgirl Love your fab goodies from rainmac . She makes some gorgeous things and is always very generous.

Rusty Your cards are more than good enough you need to start believing in yourself like the rest of us do in you iyswim. But if you could spare a nappy cake i would be delighted if you need me to send you anything just shout or i'll happily send you the postage or whatever.
Oh and if i was getting that lot i'd want it to be xmas too. lol

Rainmac Thank you so much. Pegs will be great i think they are fab.

pinkladymel congratulations on winning you deserve it your stuff is out of this world.
