Why is card making so addictive?:eek::eek:
Why cant I sit and watch the telly without thinking about my next card,lol.:rotfl:
I think I.m going loopy in my old age.:D
I do have a Clint Eastwood card to make for a friends husband ,so I've been downloading some pics for the front of the card already.
|Is it ok to print out images and put on a card ? Hope so ,or I,m in a fix ,cos he's a great Eastwood fan .

Evening all. I have spent the day putting all my new cardmaking goodies into a storage unit I bought in Ikea when went away for the weekend a few weeks ago. It's full already:eek:

Can I ask how you all decided on what to use on a card ie. do you lay everything out, draw it out etc. I have spent hours just laying papers on to cards trying to match colours. Then of course I find I don't have the right colours of Promarkers to colour in my Magnolias to match the papers, need snowflakes, glitter glue and sentiments just to make my Christmas cards:eek:

I have also found all my receipts......do I add them up or just throw away?:rotfl:

Glad the move went well Scatty Forgot to mention it earlier

Sorry Marg but I'm a Chelsea fan

My challenge card is in the usual place - you'll have to scroll down past the one that looks like it has hopped over from someone else's - you'll see what I mean if you nip over and have a look :rotfl::rotfl:

OH has died my hair (and my face and ears )tonight - I've singlehandedly died the bath and the tiles :A

I'm glad it's normal to think about cards when I should be doing something else :cool:

well done to all the winners on here!! I've had such a busy few days so havent had much time to comment on blogs but will try and get caught up tomorrow and tuesday. Was occupying my mum yesterday, we were sorting all her photo albums out, and today we've been up to see my in laws in Durham. only a 5 hour roud trip, we must be bonkers!

Peppop, I watched paranormal activity a while ago and thought it was quite tame! hugs to you as you got scared though! xx I love horror/thriller films though, I really want to see the new one 'Devil' thats just come out, the adverts make it look quite good!

I saw that movie and hated it lol - didn't find it scary just was extremely bored with it!! My friend had recommended it to me and he thought it was fantastic and very scary and raved about it - funny how people all have different thoughts on movies. Glad you enjoyed it PepPop - I reckon they will make a sequel soon if they haven't done so already as it had that type of ending!!

My card for the cow challenge is now on my blog, feel free to take a wee look. There's also an owl-themed card I made yesterday which I feel very proud of

I spent a good chunk of last night organising my small stash and then spent some time stamping and colouring Christmas-themed images. I hope to use them on cards over the next few days and upload them for you to see.

Have a good Monday all!
