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

Thanks for that! Hope I can find one! Would make an excellent present for my sister for her big birthday next year!!

So... just wanted to say Hi to you all! Haven't made a card in weeks but I've been scrapbooking a lot. Christmas scrapbooking. Very good, very nice to look back on, but to be 100% honest I'm fed up of Christmas pages and I've got another 9 pages to go until the class finishes. It's been hard to think of a different layout each day especially with limited stash to play with. Next year I'll be making one digital template and using it for each day. I like the concept of journalling about christmas but its been a struggle this year.

Still feeling poorly but well enough to scrap to day I'm up to date (finally) with my Christmas journal. Did a digital page about Christmas day to go into my "Christmas Memories" book and then did another page called "Seven Days" (with a digital template by Cathy Zielske) where you have to take a picture each day and scrap it in one layout. Not sure how long I'll last with that, but I've made a page at least

Anyone who missed the post about the scrapping stuff on my blog, join in the fun HERE if you are still interested.

By jingo! I only went out for supper and you've filled 2 pages between you!

Mary-op - I haven't got nestie plain circles or I'd send you some but I can do scalloped circles if you pm me your address I'll get some off to you.

Congratulations! flourgirl.

Sorry You, DD & OH are poorly Rusty hope you are feeling better very soon Think OH is just a man thing!! My DH says he knows when he's ill 'cos I shout at him.:rotfl:

"I think I'm ill - I've been looking at the sales and don't want anything - I need new cuttlebug B plates but nowt else at the moment."
I know that feeling - I'm sure you'll be better very soon!:rotfl:

Hello Lucy :hello:, of course you're welcome. Sorry to hear things haven't been good lately xxx

Mumhug, glad you like the sketch

Padster, fab card and well done for being first :T How could you not find things to buy, give me your cash and I'll easily spend it

Rusty, great news about the dummies :j

We're off looking at paint and beds today for DS2's room. We were supposed to be going to my nan's today but with the weather report last night said we're in for a loads more snow this afternoon so we're going to go later in the month when the weather is clear, don't fancy being stranded in the car with two little ones and a grumpy OH :eek:

Thinking of a new card swap idea for Crafty Place. Would people mind if it was another sketch???

Take care xxx

I don't have a board but do have a couple of precut ones left that I bought off ebay if you still need one will dig them out and see what colours I have left.

I think another sketch challenge would be great as I seem to have no inspiration at the moment.
