Afternoon Ladies i used to make lots of crafty bits and cards but unfortunately due to lack of time i havent been able to do anything for ages (at least a year ) anyway i would like to make a card that could hold a gift card for a 10 year old girls christmas present to make it look a bit nicer than just a gift card. If anyone has any ideas/tutorials and pictures could you please post it on here. I would be very greatful and it might inspire me to get my !!!!! into gear and start crafting again. I had a cupboard specially made for me to house all my crafting bits and i havent even got them out since i bought it :eek:.

I cant wait to see what you make with your new stash.

nannyboo - you sound a lot happier today
Paddington - only one word - wow!! v. organised. (oh thats three !)
rainmac - some of the other forums are a bit scary - I cant believe some of the things people say and are so rude think I'll stay over the crafty side its safe & warm.

Just tried to make hubbys xmas card using a template of 2 penguins from papercraft inspirations website - what a disaster my cutting out is a mess -I am sure I was going about it in the wrong way!Back to the drawing board!! :rolleyes:

Hello glittermum - you definitely sound younger now Hope you didn't think you had to change your name because of the NEC 12 telling you it made you sound old. It was a compliment really as you look so young in real life!

Here's the tattoos (pics are not very big though, sorry!):

Ths one is a pair of cherries, but close-up they're actually skulls.


This one is me, DD's daisy on her arm, and my two friends with tattoos on their wrists. We totally took over the tattoo parlour - I was the only one who'd made an appointment, the poor guy didn't know what had hit him!

I then couldn't resist getting another tattoo, so had this daisy in my ear:


I'm already planning my next one.

Right you lot I have to jump in here for a mo!! (Nice cards btw popkins)

Do you realise that in just 3 months you guys are already over 6,000 posts on here:eek:, and that every time I click on the New Posts button this thread is always in there?? :eek::eek: (And every time I see it it makes me think that I must crack on with my Christmas cards asap, yet still I don't find the time :rolleyes: )

I wouldn't mind betting that this is one of the most popular threads on the whole site anyway no panicking, we're allowed to keep the threads going for longer thanks to many upgrades!

Arrhhh, we are lovely people here nannyboo :A. Not like the people on the comp board :rolleyes:. I posted a comp on there today that I found online and someone has said my post is a dupe (means to deceive - looked it up on the web to check ) and told me to change the format of my title. I was trying to be nice but not going back there again in a hurry :mad: Will stay here where people are friendly and nice xxx

Bless you why are people so horrible - guess its cos they aren't crafters

:eek::eek: I'm a comper! It's my other hobby - I spend hours in there. And definitely a crafter.... saying that I only mainly go in, enter the comps and say thank you if I win something. I gave up posting comps I found as they were nearly always dupes - think they mean it as it's a duplicate, already posted they are hot on it cos if you enter the same comp twice you disqualify yourself :D

p.s Alyssa I was trying to comment on that card but my pc is really playing up - think it's on it's way out - am desperately hoping my new usb thingy arrives in time for me to back up my photos, but anyway I didn't say anything as thought it was my pc stopping me - it's freezing on a lot of sites. Hope you get it sorted.

eta - just had a look at mine. If you click customise (top right) and settings (top left) then the comments tab - check that it is on the option to allow comments. If not that then maybe try reverting to original template but you would lose your skin then.
