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

Myzdamena

Ok I have been totally thrown now.....

My ribbons for the crafty ribbons challenge have turned up today... but I said traditional and I have been sent contemporary... :rotfl: oh goodness I had enough problems trying to think of what to so with red ribbons but green ones and orange ones (???)

Oh noes.... they're going to be wetting themselves when they get my 2 efforts



..I knew I shouldn't have sent that email but I got all excited

.................aaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh................

Hello all :j Been trying to get through all your blogs -super cards........where do you get the ideas

More of the white stuff today but the milkman made it and so did the young girl to hoover up the mess I made taking decorations down ...........bless her. Wonder what I did without her sometimes.

So, haven't done a lot except cover a cappacino box with Easter paper............idea being to do a white flannel bunny (same as reindeer just different colour and with mini eggs inside instead of soap -hope it works) and pop bunny in the box............just need to punch holes in the top for the ribbon to go through and got sneaky feeling it'll be too thick for my bog-standard hole puncher....:rolleyes:

rainmac - OH not too bad.............had off day on Monday with bad stomach but apparently there's been a bug going round and he's ok now. Looks much better and seems good in himself though he thinks this 'mass' of something or other is still there and has visions of a CT scan after next visit to the 'boffin'. Still, at least he's planning little shopping expiditions to coincide with appointments -weather permitting.........next appt. if Jan 20th so hoping we're rid of this snow by them.

jamtart -thanks for that link.........got loads of offcuts I could use up as backgrounds for photos..............it's just making a start thats the hard bit..........don't want to mess it up:rolleyes:

Ooops -forgot to say.........take care if you go out and stay warm.........hugs (((( )))) to those who need them

Myz - I bet you do something lovely!!! I Like the pics on your blog - loving the owl paper!!
Jammy - nightmare I have fallen at the first hurdle for your Being your... challenge - I just haven't got anything sorted - being quite thick and cant seem to find what I need. However, in one of the goodybags they sell in hobbycraft - I have kept 2 sheets of 12x12 double sided papermania card - would that be for scrapping???

Finally has anyone used sizzix.co.uk before - placed an order on the 29th still not received it - know they werent back until Mon, but order still being processed but they have taken payment - aargh!! Its prob. just me being unreasonable - I NEED my order NOW!! So to cheer myself up placed an order with Craftie Charlie for some papers -ooh hope they come quickly.

Also, done a quick card for a party my little one is going to.

rainmac - is it your little boys birthday today????

Thanks Myz. thats stopped me placing an order. When I order something I usually want it yesterday!!

Has anyone got their ribbon bags from Crafty Ribbons and been dissapointed?

Evening all - I've been working while DH has been home sledging with the boys! My day off tomorrow and school is open - not sure about pre-school yet though.

Got my ATG gun today - gosh it's a monster! Any tips from those who've already got one?

Oh, it's not fair! I'm gonna cry!

I bought a Cuttlebug before Christmas, the normal green one.

My friend, who hasn't got a computer, asked me to order her one on Saturday. I got a phone call today to say they're ready to send the order but have only got pink. Can they send a pink one at no extra charge :eek:. What .............. she gets a pink one and I have to put up with a green one. Waaaaahhhhh .

What a pity I've already used mine.......... or is that mean? :rotfl:

Jamtart - I put my link on your blog for the old skool stash thingy, got all mixed up and put the wrong thing down as title so my link says "Old Skoo Stash......... thingy.........." or whatever I put . Sorry, I'll change it if you tell me how. I'm useless at these things. My card's done though :T. Just couldn't resist. I wont put it on my blog yet though, will wait until 1 Feb, TD's birthday that is!
