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

Lyndach

Melissa75 - The Jumperoo is quite big it talks up all the walking space in our living room! I do use the bumbo everyday while I'm doing housework she sit's wherever I am, or just when she wants to stare at the tv as it's easy to move around. Though we got a highchair last week and she's using that alot too. I think it really depends on how much he likes too sit up and where your most likely to use it.

Rusty i think they are the prima e-line flowers like these here they come in other colours to and are £1.50 a bag you get about 30 I think in a bag

Thankyou Dragonllew, I have bought Eline flowers and Gems before but mine didn't have pretty patterns on them!! ... maybe I bought different ones? it was when they first came out?

"A couple of your have got flowers on your cards which look to have embossing on them (OAP's autumn girl card has them on) who makes them? and are they reasonably priced?"

Rusty - Am at work just now but will pm you about these later tonight - have a favour to ask you!

Oooh I wonder what you want :rotfl: anything you want the answer is yes!! unless it is money then it will be no!!

melissa this is a bumbo they are considered to be very good

I had a bumbo for DD and it was great!! I loved it, even better was that I paid £3 for it from a charity shop and got £21 back on ebay :j thats proper MSE!

Melissa - I presume he likes hair?? We had a leap frog thing ... it was really good as Maddison couldn't stand on her own and sat her in this and she could turn it to play with everything ... she drove me mad with it though again expensive for what they are but worth every penny and we managed to get just over £40 for it on ebay after we had done with it (I bought it off my friend for £20


Mary - Sorry to hear about your mums friend.


Oooh meant to say POPKINS - they do the really useful boxes in PINK

Sal, can you please tell me the font you've used for the wording on that card, it's one I haven't got and I'd really like it.

Mine hasn't arrived!! although do you get a dispatch email from them?? reason I ask is that a courier has tried to deliver something today whilst I was out, but I thought it might have been my robo?? but OH said he hasn't had a dispatch email about that? ....

What was your freebie?? ... how does the gold card thingy work? is it physically a card to put in your purse?? cause it said I qualified for that?


Oooh something else ... we went in poundland today and got 3 x BIG bags of paper flowers, they are almost like they have been punched so they are cardstock and you get loads in a pack, again bunbun and I shared them :rotfl: and we got 1 x deep purple and light purple, 1 x white and cream, 1 x pink and reddy pink. Not bad for a £

Thanks TomsMum for the offer of the nurse stamp, I had forgotten I have that one but no need for it now cos he might be able to come home tomorrow!! The Dr has said if all is well in the morning he can go home until Monday then go back in to see if he is ready for his hose pipe out :eek: Today he looked really well, could have done with swapping him places for a couple of days.

Rusty those flowers are prima e-line and you can get them in white to colour with your promarkers, think I got them from Glitterpot. Will send you some if you like

Choccy how did you get a gold discount card please? sorry I'm a nosey moo

Rusty - what a bargain - wish we had a poundland......when our little woolworths closed we were hoping for something like that in its place........instead.....Herons frozen foods:mad:

Sally - what a lovely card. I didn't put any wording on the front of mine.........just a few words inside. Hadn't got any 'sympathy' stick ons.
OH is doing ok..........he had to have a lie down this afternoon but think that made up for not having one yesterday. He's certainly looking much better and is more like his old self apart -down to 4 pain killers a day which is good considering when all this started he was on 8 a day plus during the night.
Hope your OH is doing ok and managing the siatica

Spend over £25 in a single order alternatively you can buy it for £25 :rolleyes: however I prefer to have £25 worth of goodies and get it free :rotfl:

Mary I was hoping for a home bargains ... just cause I can't always be bothered to drive to the next town to go there, plus I prefer the one in Durham which is only when I go to bunbuns! We ended up with a highly overpriced furniture/electrical shop where you can pay weekly ... a bit like that brighthouse thing but it isn't them cause we already have one of those :mad:
