Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

mary-op

Hello all :j Quick hello to make sure you're all busy as always....................how you manage it with the housework is beyond me. I suggested to OH that we sort out bedroom out a bit.............far too much in there (blanket box full of I don't know what that could be moved to another room and give us space) so what does he do ? start to sort out CD's............and came to a full stop when he started playing some

Rusty -those papers look lovely -honest :T

Well done Rainmac and DTB on your walk/run.

That bunny & bear are gorgeous Tom's mum - if you look closely the bun has a plaster on his arm but I'm gonna use if for all sorts .

Those notebooks are lovely Rusty - my fave is the one with the birds on.

Quick question - someone who has DCVW linen closet - do you think it would be ok for a shabby/distressed style card?

CP swaps posted this afternoon - needed to stock up on stamps and it cost me £22!!!!! Ouch

Rainmac - congratulations for completing the race - you are so much braver than I am - I'd get 1/3 rd of the way around and collapse!

Thanks.

I have linen closet and I reckon them papers would look fab for that kind of card, I can picture some of the blues with a pale brown distressing round the edges, perfect!! just a shame I can't make cards as nice as I can picture them!!

Rainmac well done!!!

Mary - I dont do housework! :rotfl: I do what I need to do then have a mega tidy and sort out the day OH comes home!! :j

Melissa - Thanks. The papers are DCWV Mi casa! :eek: I actually used some of my spensive papers :eek:

Afternoon everyone

Love everyons makes today, there all fab, I've left comments on your blogs as I've gone :T:T

RustyFlange - Thankyou for letting me catch a ride with you on Friday, it will be nice to get to know some of you before we get there
Love the papers too :T

I've had one of those days when I've had to push myself! I started feeling ill last night, think I've got the cold from the kiddies again! I'd planned to start painting the bathroom today so I plodded on & got it done, I did keep going dizzy when I steped up on the stool but hay ho that was part of the fun! When I was painting the paint tin fell off the the side of the bath all over the floor. The funny thing about this is last night I had said to hubby it would be nice to have new lino flooring but what we had was still ok so had no reason to replace it....we do now!!! Theres a right splodge mark on the floor now....never mind :rotfl:you have to laugh at these things :rotfl:

Right I plan on sorting the bunnies out & the arms tonight while watching 24 & Heros with hubby, never got around to doing them over the weekend.
I will keep popping by though to see what your all up to :j x

Huge Congratulations to DTB & son for completing the mile, but so sorry to hear your sad news xx

Padster - Congratulations on your win and GD spot

Tiny - you lucky thing having your own craft room

Rainmac - Congratulations on doing the mile

THE WIFE /Marg - I know how you feel, I'm still tackling the washing mountain from our hols as we don't have a dryer, then it'll be the ironing

MSE parking tip for the nec - I paid for my parking ticket before we went in in nov, but it was so late when we left they'd stopped checking

So we're all getting bunny ears then ?

Life here is going to be mad for the next two and a bit weeks but hopefully will then calm down a bit

Eee I am terrible!! ... It is like I am scared to use them, especially as there is only 2 sheets the same ... heaven forbid I use both sheets and can't afford to pay nearly £20 for another pad :rotfl:

Heaven forbid anyone has DCWV papers at the NEC I will want them all :eek:


Skiergirl - I also paid £8 for a parking ticket and no one was there to check it! I am tempted to not buy one this year and if I get stopped I will pay it on the gate or something.

Craftyjuju see you Fri. Will email tonight with updated times and stuff Sorry to hear about your lino, but you did say you wanted a new one .... are you sure you didn't tip the paint onto the lino?
