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

mary-op

Hello all :j
You are a busy lot.........job to keep up with you - super cards -where do you get the ideas from ?

melissa - thanks for the link on the other page........had a quick look but most of what I would love is out of stock Typical !
Oh well, not to worry. Been covering shoe boxes today and don't know whether it was the boxes, paper, paste or me (probably the latter) but I did get in a mess and it seemed to take an age just to do two :eek: Fed up I was !
Still, tomorrow is another day, as they say.............and we had snow today -OH went to chemist to get our tablets and couldnt as the the chemist was snowed in (wherever he lives)...........they got one in later from somewhere else so at least we're all 'medicated up' - own fault for leaving it till last minute.
Not quite been my day............still, comfy sofa awaits - some half way decent tele and a good book;)
I'll put my other brain in tomorrow............:rotfl:

Sorry haven’t been around this week, been really busy at work, and just had no time for any crafting.

Just caught up on the last 7 pages, and have to say there is some amazing cards as always so well done to: mad-frog; sally; peppop; flourgirl; rainmac; dragonllew; padster; thrifty; lei; lou05; DTB; Lyndach; Sunrise27; bunbun; Carmim; Babykat; and Ali.b.123

Lei – hope everything goes well for your granny on Tuesday. Good luck with transforming the jelly belly dispenser.

Flourgirl – hope your dad is recovering well from the op and is enjoying being home for the weekend.

Sally – good news about your OH, hope the pain of his sciatica has eased a little.

Mary – sorry to hear of the loss of your mum’s friend.

Have a great holiday Padster – really jealous you are going off for some sun

Popkins - Stunning ‘Little Musings’ of you and your OH.

Just want to say a big thank you to Bunbun, Choccy, and DTB’s for the beautiful cards they have sent me.

Well, I’ve been at it again bargain hunting. After Gem’s beautiful cabinet, I wanted to sort out my card, as the pizza box it is in is looking a bit battered. So in Poundland today I found some A4 plastic box files, which are perfect and look really great. I ended up buy 12 of them, and am really happy after sorting my card into colours. I’ve just got to work out where I am going to put them! Have put a picture on my blog.

I also managed to find the bag of flat back gems that they were selling, so am really happy.

Hopefully, will manage to make some cards tomorrow.

Dawnteabag - sounds like you've been having fun with your letters!!!! I used to be a Leicester City season ticket holder so I feel for you!!! Living up here though I have had to defect to Liverpool!!!

Mary - sorry the stuff had sold out - it was selling really quickly last night, I had to delete a lot of items from my basket as they had sold out. I'm sure they'll be loads more sales on soon - shops will need to make room as there's loads of new releases on their way.

Oh dear - borrowing that cricut was a very bad idea- I sooooo want one. All lettering now cut out so tomorrow I can stick it together and then have a play with the other carts I borrowed with it. As a teaser, here's a little bit of what I'm making

WOW Gemm how brave of you to go for the fringe after 14 years, would love to see a new piccie of you. My GD has just had a fringe cut and it has changed the shape of her face totally, she is only 6 but now looks much more grown up. The thing with hair is if you dont like the cut it soon grows again lol.

Carmin Fab Wedding Card. I love the shape of the card, its so different

Just finnished putting my next challenges card on my blog. I must be on a roll with challenges at the moment, sometimes its so much easier when you are told what to make!! lol

thanks flourgirl - I will prob update my blog pic soon some amazing cards on your blog :T
