Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

craftygranny

Here's my cake for all you stylish ladies to share . It took me all day to decorate it .

Evening ladies - looks like I'm the first of the [STRIKE]NEC15 [/STRIKE]NEC14 (no saucysecrets) to get back and post.

I had a fab day and was very good - I left the house with £30 and came home with £1.71 - and didn't put anything on the card! We got some funny looks with the rabbit ears, everyone kept asking if we were on a hen party, lol. We had photos taken at the start of the day, so I'm sure someone will post one up.

I'm loving all your cakes (especially the divorce cake ), and can't believe how quick off the mark some of you were with your cake cards! They're all brilliant, well done.

I had my fill of cake today - I made chocolate brownies, rainmac made her rocky road, her friend made an orange cake, and sylphraven made a malteser birthday cake for choccy. I had a bit of everything.

Thank you to rainmac, rusty, flourgirl, bunbun, gemm, glittermum and choccy for the fab gifts and cards - you're all so talented and thoughtful. And thanks to leia for the lovely papers I'd forgotten that you said you'd bring me some, so it was a lovely surprise.

I got home at 5, but had to walk the dogs, so I'm shattered now - I don't know if I'll be playing with my new stash tonight! I must say though, I didn't think the fair in general was as good as the November one - it seemed smaller and to have less bargains.

Fab cakes ladies I've been out grocery shopping:( so not got mine yet or done my card but - watch this space.

Great cards OAP & twinklestar

Glad you got back safe JHB & hope your dogs were glad to see you back.

Now I'll feel like that reporter in the Falklands "I counted them all out and I counted them back in again " until you all report arriving home happy but tired.:rotfl:

Oh dear I ended up with a smoke filled kitchen as I set the oven wrong and totally burnt my fab cake (will take a picture and post it on my blog!!) So sorry no cake to share after all.

Fab cards from OAP (love the 'happy cake day' sentiment) and Twinkle (so many cakes on one card!!)
Wow that red cake was amazing Dragonllew looked like it had been made for you (I assume you do like dragons??)
CT your night sounds great no kids + wine + take out = BLISS!
CG that cake was amazing I have never seen anything like it before my neice would love it as she is doing a fashion course at Uni
JHB welcome back looking forward to seeing the pics, discussing the stash and welcoming everyone else back
have failed to make a card so far but will try tonight... wot a failure!

Waves at Furry and everyone else!
Fabby cakes and cards everyone sorry I've been missing have been baking this:


Fortunately it was out the oven before DD's bed arrived as it's now taken up all the space

I have been a very busy bear today - couple of things on my blog but spent most of my time on my DT card - wish I could take decent photos though
Although I did do some housework - unfortunately I couldn't clean the kitchen windows as I had (conveniently) run out of kitchen roll and didn't fancy cleaning newsprint off the upvc :rotfl::rotfl:.

I have my cake image at the ready and will make my card once DD has gone to bed - OH says he's tired and is going to be in bed for 9 so peace and quiet for me this evening as he's sat here yawning his head off at the mo

Hi hope everyone who went to NEC had a fab time. Had a delivery today from create and craft, my forever friends pick of the week. I was so excited, nearly hugged the delvery man!!! DH did laugh at me bouncing around! but i'm so excited there's loads of stuff.
( i can't seem to post the picture, i must be missing something! brain isn't working, but i'm putting it on my blog if you want to see)
Can i ask how you join in the challenges? Can anyone join or is it a group of you who do them? Am trying to do more cards, stop watching tv in an evening and relax doing my cards.
