Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

For those taking part in the August stash swap, I've posted a possible solution which means no one has to give two parcels. Please let me know if it's an issue, and I won't take part. Just a suggestion!

Mary Don't forget to wave on the way past - you'll love it. Loch Lomond is beautiful - but then I'm biased, it's one of my favourite places.

Big hello everyone. for the first time I have been able to get internet reception on my phone at the caravan site, it is also the first evening we've had rain so can't help but wonder if it is that. i will prob lose it as soon as I move my arm though. hope everyone is well and all surviving the holidays. miss you all so much and have not managed any crafting whatsoever. kids having brilliant time though and that is what it's all about. came home for friends bbq but was home less than 24 hours so computer didn't even get turned on. spent fortune at art stamps exhibition whic was fab and also at horseshoe crafts which I discovered is only 15 mins from the caravan site. so far it looks like i only have 75 pages to catch up on. hubby arriving any mo so I will love and leave you. hello to any newbies and happy birthday if i have missed anyone whilst away. ponr unless things have changed think you are flying off next week so safe journey and keep us up to date on your bargains. off to pour the wine now as for the f

Pepop -I've never been before......well not to Loch Lomond or Edinburgh so looking forward to it. We hadn't been to Eden Project either and went there earlier with same coach company.........couldn't fault them and I've googled the hotel in Scotland and it looks lovely.
So pleased about it OH is watching football and I've just made two notelets from some freebie fabric and ribbon............:rotfl: =made a change from scrapbooks and radio was good too.

Ooops..........nearly forgot........meant to put this on........found it on another board and it might be useful for cards. You can order two free A4 samples

Izzy Wizzy – if you want me to I’d be more than happy to send you some ribbons to start off your collection. I’ve got absolutely loads here, I will never use it all myself, but I am a sucker for pretty ribbons, and have a ribbon shop about 2 miles away that I am forever going in. Mainly because they have 100s of colours and sizes and sell it by the meter for pennies. PM me you address if you want me to send you some.

Melissa – so glad you have had a good time with your mum. Safe travels home tomorrow.

Fifi – your card for the August swap will be posted out tomorrow. Hope you like it.

Scatty Jan – fingers crossed for you there isn’t too long a delay for you moving house.

Fab doorhanger PONR – love the images.

Glad you are enjoying your holiday TiredMom, sounds like you had fun at the craft fair.

Went to see Toy Story 3 today with the kids and it was fab, but have also had some more time to make another card, so have added it to the usual place. Gemm we have obviously been stroking the same papers as the papers you have used on your beautiful card, is what I have used for mine :rotfl:.

I’ve fallen off the stash ban – I have 3 punches on their way from Glitterpot – oops x

PONR, love your door hangers x

kms/Mel, I'm definitely up for Secret Santa again

Mary, that trip sounds lovely x

I should be up to date here and on blogs now (about time I know)

Off to an indoor play centre tomorrow, hopefully I'll get to sit down, drink tea and chat while the boys play. Will be bliss as this week's been a bit mad

Hoping to go to Legoland at the weekend, going to leave the decision until tomorrow night and see what the weather looks like it will do.

Night all x

Mary Where abouts will you be staying? I've never been to the Eden project but it looks great, sounds like a good tour company. Just remember to pack your woolies
