Paddington do you recognise this

I sure do - my house is in the far left of the picture just above the little white square thing with the pointy roof which is the neighbours garage :j The pub is at the bottom of the picture so you see we don't have far to stagger :rotfl:.

Fortunately you missed off our very long untidy garden

Yep, made the tags on the PC and then stuck a stamped image using 3d foam pads above the text. I have coloured them with pens. Thank you for saying you like them x

Hi all , I havent been able to get in making any cards for a while, I also havent had any sucess in selling for ages. Anyway long story short I am considering elling everything I have pens, stamps ,bug ,folders ,card, papers embossing stuff ..........blimey I really do have alot. What i was wondering is if I do decide to pack it in where would yo suggest I try to sell it.

I too was into card making, then not, then restarted :rolleyes:. I made the huge mistake of flogging loads of my stuff on ebay. I would pack your stash away and then see how you feel in a couple of months.

Flourgirl Fab pictures on your blog, looks like you had lots of fun!
Dragonllew Your card is lovely
PLM Lovely to see you back
Saveapenny what a lovely card!
Craftygranny awh sounds like you had a nice trip to Hobbycraft.
My OH finished work early yesterday so he asked me if I wanted to go to the Range to pick up my Do Crafts Magazine so we went there and he treated me to a crop o dile, a set of lovely dovecraft chalks and some christmas stamps :j
Rainmac I found the robin calendar, I've got that stamp so I think I'll be making that!

Just wondered do any of you use CD cases when stamping or do you just use the blocks? I haven't got big enought blocks for some of the stamps I bought!

Wow beautiful cards on your blog TheWife :T

Saveapenny, your Popcorn Christmas card is fantastic!!! :T

flourgirl, love seeing your pics from flying, you must be so proud of your OH to be able to fly a plane and how exciting to be able to go up in amongst the clouds with him

dragonllew, your shutter card is gorgeous, your cutomer is going to be very happy :T

Have added my CCC card to my blog. I am impressed, I've made 4 Xmas cards so far this week

rainmac

PLM, so lovely to see you back here :j, your new Christmas themed blog is fantastic and the giveaways are gorgeous :A

Thank you so much for the advice on my stall, when I do Xmas ones I am not going to have anything in cellophane, after you said what you did on my blog I realised that was what I didn't like. Thank you lovely lady

Yay Hels, so are you going to be making calendars for presents too? How lovely of your OH to offer to go to the Range and also buy you some craft stash :beer:. Mine would have to be dragged there kicking and screaming :rolleyes:

Oh I've just seen the most gorgeous Starburst Placecards in the do craft magazine, does anyone have a die-cutting machine with the starburst Quickutz Silhouette?!

Thank you everyone, it's nice to be back I'll just be popping on in the morning and at night so i'll try to keep up but forgive me if I fall behind.. you lot chat more than me!!

The Christmas word has still not been guessed! I don't know why I thought of this word because I wouldn't ever touch it...



There are two small kits of bits and pieces including glittered papers, Doodlebug brads, Speciality ribbon etc. It was late last night when I took the photograph so it isn't the best
