I've been having a root through my odd bits and I've got something called 'thickers'........foam shaped stickers called 'subway accents'..........I've not used them.......to be honest wouldn't know where t start so if anyone wants them pm me and I'll send them off.

craftfairies -love the hairgrips:T

I made my first card today :j It's one of the ones from a Christmas magazine I bought - it might have been Lets Make Cards, it was about £8 anyway. It came with lots of free things and ideas for me to put into practice, and I think that this will give me the confidence to make my own designs. I'm going to make a few more Christmas ones this evening and see how they look, then play with my designs and make a cow one tomorrow. Hopefully it will look ok!

I'm having to curb my spending for a few weeks - I have bought a few bits of Ebay this week and finally got myself a craft knife and cutting mat. I'm unstoppable now :rotfl:

Mary OP - you have a PM

Craft Fairies - they look really pretty and I'm sure they'd sell well

Flying Fresian - well done on your first card, do you have a blog? I'd love to see it.

I don't have a blog yet, but plan to set one up this weekend once I figure out how to do it. I am going to have an operation next week and wanted to get my cardmaking stash and blog in place for when I'm recuperating and can't go out!

If you use blogger it's really easy. I'm sure someone on here posted the basics, but I can't remember who. If you get stuck just shout, someone will be able to help you out. Hope your op goes OK.

I'm off to shower as I'm going out tonight and am covered in alcohol inks and distress inks atm which isn't the best look:D

craftfairies they are gorgeous! they will sell really well.

I've really neglected my card making the past few weeks, sewing, door hangers and bracelets have taken over! I really want to make my own Christmas cards this year so I think it's time to make a start!

WBR - can't wait to see what you've been up to with your alcohol inks -I've got a fewbut hven;t been that pleased with my efforts so far. I have to say that your distress ink backgrounds are lovely - I'm goign to a workshop at the Artisan shows so hope to be able to improve my efforts(couldn't get on the alcohol inks one).

Craftfairies - love the hair clips.

Flying Friesian - you do realise you are now on the slippery slope to stash addiction don't you!
