Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

THE-WIFE_3

Morning ((hugs)) to everyone.

:DWell, I managed to sleep in till 5.30am when I received that alarm call you can never put on snooze control, the cold and wet nose. Not bad for me!

I've posted a photo on my blog of the beautiful birthday cards I received from the bestest cardmakers ever, MSE'ers. Just off to walk Mr Sticky Beak, that nose of his gets in everything.

I'm not sure if anyone's posted this link but Janet of Pink Gem has a beautiful 'Milly'digi image on her blog here, there's a challenge too with it.

You know the bestest people Wifey :rotfl: Absolutely gorgeous makes from everyone.

Well I have just managed a mega blog-hop (3 days worth :eek:) and hopefully managed to leave comments for eveyone. If I've missed your blog, give me a nudge - I do like [STRIKE]stalking[/STRIKE] following everyone.

Hugs to all, Thriftyxxx

Morning all, hope everyone is ok and had a nice weekend?

I am annoyed as DD started with conjunctivitus again yesterday, managed to find a chemist open last night and got her some cream but has woken this morning in a terrible state with green stuff sealing both eyes and also other green stuff sealing her nose!!! I can't win it was only about 4 weeks ago she had it!! then about 4 or 5 weeks before that! It makes me think I am doing something wrong even though I know I am not!! anyway she is off nursery today and hasn't played with anything she is just curled up on the settee with her blanket and tigger!!

Anyhoo I popped on for a quick question.

I know Rainmac makes a box of cards for her mum, I presume others have aswell? Well what I would like to know is what cards do you put in there? and also how many??

i.e
3 x birthday female
3 x birthday male
1 x get well soon

etc etc

Can anyone give me an idea as I have a box with cards in but thinking I would like to make a box of cards for me!!

Marg

Hi Rusty - No idea about the card box really but think I'd include a 'Thank you' card, a sympathy card, ('cos I'm a pesimist) and one blank to cover everything else!

More seriously, sorry DD is poorly I think you should ask GP for referral to a specialist as it's not right that the eye problem keeps happening and our eyes are too precious to wait.

Hi everyone i have had a busy weekend as i had a craft fair and it went really well. So i thought i would give you a update of things that sold well on the card making side.
Paper-clip bookmarks (i was shocked as to how many of these did sell 75p each)sold well as did the teabag holder (£1.50 each) cards post it note holders (again £1.50 each) i only brought 2 home made about 15 the best sellers where the little treat things ( £1.25 each) that i have on my blog with the lollipops and pencils in they all sold out and i made loads of them easter one and all sorts of other ones. So i just thought i would let you all know in case any of you are doing fairs and wanted an idea of what the best sellers where

Rusty Poor missymoo.. Hope shes feeling abit better now. As for boxes i made a few for gifts at Christmas. I put 2 female birthday, 2 males birthday, 2 thankyou, 1 just because, 1 get well and 2 blank cards.

Not going to be around for a little bit, just had a phone call to tell me my gran has died I only saw her last week and apart from being a little bit cuckoo she was fit and healthy I am absolutely gutted. Not sure how I will tell DS
Mean nasty wicked world :mad:

Well done to dragonllew and sorry I can't comment on anything at the minute.

Rusty so sorry to hear about littlies eyes again. I agree with Marg, it might be worthwhile just having a second opinion. MyDG 2 is only 2 and keeps getting tonsilitis and the Doctor has said she may need to have her tonsils out when she is 3

As for your card box just try and cover every occasion and include a couple of blanks, male and female and 1 kiddies

Birthdays.... Male. Female Kiddies and a Teenager
Well done
Thankyou
Just a note
Sympathy
Birth
Maybe a couple of Easter ones in case you are caught on the hop!!
