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

bunbun2

just popping on very quickly to say thank you to dragonllew for my christmas pressie which arrived yesterday.
I am spending today catching up on all the things I owe people then will have a trip to the post office.
I did plan to spend the whole day crafting but then remembered I offered to walk to the cathedral with the school choir so that is the afternoon gone.
well better get on as i have loads to do!

:eek: you ladies can gas!!

I still haven't caught up on the past week or so sorry but I think I am going to have to start from scratch!

Well done to those who did well at fairs!! Good luck to those who still have fairs to come!

Louby - What date are you due? Is it you who is having a section?

BunBun - Enjoy your walk, remember to wrap up warm!

Well OH and I were talking last night and he wanted to throw me a couple of suggestions last night for christmas just to see what I thought ... they were all big ones :eek:

First - A sony book reader (I said I wasn't sure I would use it!)
Second - A Wii and Wii fit!!!!! (I would use this!! but he has always said that I was not allowed one!)
Third - A Cricut expression :eek: (we saw one at a craft shop when we were staying up in aberdeen!! looks fantastic but not sure I would use it?)

So who has a cricut expression? (probably no one as they are expensive :eek: but are they any good? he was going to get the computer software aswell so I could do it all off the PC!

Mumhug - Haven't forgotten your Christmas present swap I have only just started to get back to being busy!

Padster, have you seen this teddy? and he's a freebie too. Looks like some nice stuff there

Morning all!

Rusty, a Cricut expression, wow! I have a cutting machine, can't remember it's name that sits on the worktop and I've never even used it.:o
:o it's a Craft Robo that I once desperately needed but don't have the time to learn about :o

Yes i am having a section on monday :eek: I am getting nervous now. I have all my xmas cards done but i am waiting to write them so i can add the baby's name on them. I have just got to finish this handbag card then i am sorted up untill the end of jan for birthdays.

I hope your feeling better and not in so much pain now.

Louby, if it can help I have some pretty silver elastic cord that you could use to fasten your card perhaps with a button? Just pm me your address and I'll pop it in the post.

Have spent the day making more cards which I have loaded up onto my blog.
Have been reading blogs but just not got time to comment at the moment as my to do list seems to be getting longer each day.
Can I ask what everyone has made as teacher presents? as need to do for 8 teachers! so any suggestions of quick things would be good.

Dragonllew - I have 8 teachers/assistants to do as well. I have made pots of gold using tea light holders 69p for 4 in Ikea, filled up with a selection of chocolate money, ferrero roche, eclairs, gold rose and quality street chocolates, and a scratch card, wrapped in gold cellophane, will post pictures on my blog late. The ladies are getting post it holders, and will also do some snowman soup for each of them next week.

Making up the pots of gold and snowman soup are relatively quick and easy, compared with making 7 (didn't think the male TA would want one) post it holders.
