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

@Gemm - ouch ouch ouch. That's really icky.

@Glittermum - well done on your sale!

I've made a start on my parents and in-laws cards today. Think I need some advice so will grab the camera in a bit.

Also spent ages deciding which of my cards will be going to who. It is soooo hard choosing. Some I don't even want to give away because I like them so much!

Aside from finishing my parents & in laws, I just need to make 5 more for work and I'm done for this Christmas. I want to finish them tomorrow, write them out and then start a production line to stamp my "handmade by" stamp on each one!

They're great HH - how about this freebie digi from Pollycraft? You can make it any size you like then. There are loads of other freebies on there as well but thought that one would kind suit your vintage card.

Couple more cards on my blog - one is very pink again but that's what happens when you get a pack of paper for £1.50 lol!

Wow! Some wonderful creations lately, you've all been so busy!

I just wanted to mention that if anyone is in the Huddersfield/Leeds/West Yorkshire area, perhaps they might like to pop along to the Overgate Hospice Christmas Fayre which is being held tomorrow (29th Nov) in the Piece Hall, Halifaxx. It's also the first day of the opening of the ice rink - not that I'll be going on it - LOL.

Anyway, I've ran out of time now to make anything else for the stall, so hopefully I've not forgotten anything important.

Here's the latest makes I did today:

Melissa, what fabaroony time we had at Steph's Make and Take, she is such a kind, thoughtful and very very generous lady. We absolutely loved it and the time just flew by. We made 3 cards and a cute little box that was for a cakey bar (in my element there!) All of the bits and pieces we used are gorgeous and we just had the best of times. (I went with my friend, Melody) Steph gave us all goodie bags as we left with beautiful cards and paper, embellies and stamped images and chocs.

Melissa, thank you so much for being so kind as to post the link to Steph, we wouldn't have known about it except for you.
