    TSL definatly CRAFT, I love your distressed card the sugar nellie stamp is soo gorjuss!! I bought that one last week but have not used it yet

    I was at Funky kits real shop on Saturday for a promarker/prismacolor pencils demo. Totally engrossing an hour passed before I had noticed. I ended up buying a box of pencils, paper stumps and a bottle of Sansodor to blend the colours with.

    I did two cards last night whilst OH watched the football

    Feeding squirrels I used promarkers

    and Demure I used prisma

    not sure which I prefer but since I had fun doing both I am happy

    Right now I have to peel spuds :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    WOW, they are stunning OAP :D:D:D

    Cheapy subscription here to Cardmaking and Papercrafting :p Well worth £5 if only for the free gifts you might be able to get cashback as well. Other magazine subscription sites are available :rotfl: - can't remember who mine is through but I pay £16 something for 6 issues that was after I got 3 for £1.

    oops crossed post with rainmac - that'll teach me to go off and look at other links in the middle

    several freebies here

    The nesties from quickutz aren't individual dies its just a solid block which you have to separate its called ungrouping, by the time I had written down all the instructions (printer friendly page not working) I had just about lost the will to live:rotfl:I do know how to download dies from the online shop though:rotfl:

    I will work it out I'm sure its not rocket science, my problem is I need step by step instructions preferably with pictures lol. The instruction book is carp!!

    Don't know about autocad DH said he used to have it :confused: but we have something else now :confused:

    I have made some leaves this afternoon from basic grey paper and they look lovely:j

  • Hello Everyone - Well Ive been reading this thread for soooo long I thought I would join! (I am normally found on the cross stitching forum!) I finally stepped through to the card making world today - Although I cannot post any pics or links I will be popping the card pictures on my blog later on (when OH can do it for me! hehe) I made my Valentines day card for OH - Two mother's day cards - Dads Birthday card and a Happy Birthday card for a good friend - Cannot believe how quick the time goes my cards!

    Happy Card Making Everyone!

    Hello all :j
    Back from seeing the 'boffin' at hospital - xrays done and though the shadows still on OH's lung its not as dense as it was -I didn't think so and nor did the boffin !
    He still wants OH to have another scan but not for 6 weeks so seems there's no urgency -relief and hoping it goes on as it is.
    Thanks for all the 'inside outers'...........:j

    craftygranny
    Carly got a call from the hospital today her first implant will be switched on on the 15th feb and the second one on the 16th feb so fingers crossed they work.
    Definitely be 'inside out' days -hope everything goes ok:o

    rainmac - hope your young ones get better soon x:o

    sally - I'll be thinking of you and your OH............best get the girls here to do the 'inside out' thing........you never know, stranger things have happened.
    Sciatica does take a while so tell OH to bear with it, painful as it is. x

    Bound to leave someone out so well done for all the super cards :T
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
