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

Jessica_Rabbit1

Thanks Craftygranny! I still feel like it's a fib doing my craft and trying to pass it off as a business.....seems to work with hubby though hehehehe ) I'm just so glad to be able to be doing creative things again, before this it had been about 7-8 years and then it was just cross stitch. I prefer the card making and things as you can get the results so much quicker, and it's lovely to give someone a "made" card instead of a bought one. I keep trying to convince myself I'm saving money making cards for people, but the reality is it seems to cost much more but then I love it! I get so excited when I get a parcel through with gems and trimmings etc, it's like Christmas!! Maybe if I stop buying so many pretty new cardmaking things then I will save money!

Have a lovely trip Rusty, safe journey hon.

Off to bed now I think. My parents and little brother are coming over tomorrow so housework and roast dinner are order of the day. Taking the eldest and my little brother (ironically only 8 months between them) to alton towers on Friday. MIL is looking after the youngest, so will feel like quite a grown up day not having mountains of nappies and supplies with me and a pushchair to push!
