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

Marg

Gemma & Rainmac - Love the swap idea!:rotfl:
Have you decided at what age you'd swap back? I've got two 15 year old cats who don't rampage any more but they moan at me incessantly & then when they've got my attention just like an Alzheimers sufferer they forget what they wanted. Love them to bits but they aren't cute anymore.

Welcome Glittermum - suppose if it was important Mrs T could post for you 'till you've built up your status. I'd love to change my name - 'cos it's boring.

You and me both Gemma!

Little Bob has been a holy terror this morning too!

I started off trying to do some craft stuff before I went to work, but I've had to put it all way now too and what does he do once I get it all away? - yep, you've guessed it, he goes to sleep!!

Arrrghhh!

they are driving me bonkers this morning Marg :rolleyes: I got up at 8 and fed them and they have been chasing each other around the whole house like 2 bullets since then, I'd have thought they would be a bit tired by now! Silver keeps trying to get behind the TV and I have had to put OH's slippers in the cupboard as she decided that she would quite like to eat them. Crafting is out of the window until OH gets home cause I can't concentrate on anything - as when it goes a bit quiet I have to get up and find them as they are usually doing something they shouldnt! :eek: T hey were golden yesterday though and slept most of they day, I keep begging them to go back to sleep today and be good :rotfl:

I take it your kids are toilet trained, dont walk in their own business :eek:, don't chew wires, don't bite and scratch your hands, don't jump on the kitchen counters and don't eat slippers? :rotfl:

Errr, maybe I'll stick with the kids... :rotfl:

Has anyone made new things with their newly purchased stash?

I can't believe I haven't had a chance yet! It's not even put away yet! I hate it when real life gets in the way of crafting (not really!!)

Hello peeps!!

Mrs Tidge - welcome as Glittermum - much more 'glam & funky' lol!! You're so right too RL is so irritating getting in the way sometimes LOL!!! ps. you might recognise some of your cards in my xmas ones I made... I think they look pretty good - what do you think? wish I had more of them!!!

Rainmac - have been using some of my stash from NEC - have used my lovely new Oval Nesties, sizzix 'Holly' embossing folder, GORGEOUS Martha Stewart snowflake punch for my mums xmas cards - ooh and just trying out some of the 'glossy accent' stuff on some snowflakes - just waiting for it to dry!!! Also used my swiss dots CB folder - hadn't used my cuttlebug for embossing before so am loving it - as well as the holly embossing folder I've also used the xmas tree one - just need to make some cards up with it - it looks fab!!

Here are photos of cards made so far - have made another 5 this morning but they're not completely finished yet!
