Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

JailhouseBabe

Twinkle - is this what you're after?
Saucy - I use Sizzix dies in my bug, I'm fairly sure you can use Quickutz ones too. There's a blog that explains all things bug related (ikkle something?) - I'm sure someone can post you a link. She explains how you need to sandwich your plates to use different makes of dies.
Rusty and Macma - loving the pink cards! Pink is definitely my colour.

Hi everyone hope you've all had a great day?
Hope anyone up in Scotland/Irland are coping ok with the horrible weather is shows your having on the news

First of all I'd like to Thanks Flourgirl for the lovely surprise I had in the post this morning, its so nice I've blogged it

I've managed to get my housework done today, found £5 in my wallet I didn't know about & made 3 new bracelets, so I'm happy :T hope to make more later.
Alex had his parents evening today & he got raving praise from his teacher, 'he's a pleasure to teach, sits & gets on with his work, very clever for his age & is a good candidate for Uni!' me a very happy mummy
After that we nipped to Sainsburys & I let Alex have a little lego kit as a well done present, they have 25% off toys at the mo so it only cost £3.21, Emily got a little doll thing too (you can't leave one out can you!) got these with the £5 I found Just had pizza for tea (nice & easy for me) & a donut for pud, sainsburys do the best donuts.

Right I'm going to try & catch up on today, if I miss anyone sorry

PONR - hope you get home safe & well. Can't wait to see pics of all the crafting goodies your bringing back with you

Rustyflange - Do you have any of those stamps left for sale please? I'm loving the princess one on the 1st photo (top right) if its still up for grabs?

Marg - Would love a copy of the list please

PepPop - fantastic picture of the plane :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Tired Mom - Great card, love the sweets idea :T

Flourgirl - hope your shoulder is feeling better

RustyFlange - WoW you made a 'Pink' card I'll have to go see

SaucySecrets - Welcome :j

Rigth off to blog hop now, didn't get round to it as I needed sleep, I've got 2 days to catch up with :eek: hopefully my PC will behave for me tonight!! x

Twinkle - they're called mats - loads of ebay sellers do them put something like circle die cuts in the search.

Saucy I have a revolution die that works in my cuttlebug but I have to put a bit of card behind the non cutting side to make it work (your's might be fine though)
The blog is Ikkies Cuttlebug cupboard

Thrifty big hugs - don't worry about venting.

Probably won't be about much until after the weekend as I have to go to dratted work again and then we are off to Scotland - OH heard from his daughter today who is in Fife and she said we don't have much snow only about 4 inches :eek::eek:

PS Great makes everyone

I love this image and have a picture in my head of PONR on the plane covered in bags of stash PONR, hope you have a good journey back but you may want to stay on the plane and head back as the weather here is grim

Thrifty, I just want to go and shake the people you are having to deal with, or give them a good slap. Sending you huge hugs xxx

Gemm, how are you feeling now?

Skiergirl, did you buy anything from the Stitching Shed stand???

So, anyone got any plans for the long Easter weekend? We were thinking of going to the safari park but I don't really fancy going if the weather is carp. We've got some serious garden tidying to do so need better weather. Fingers crossed it will change for all of us as we head to Friday x

feeling OK today thanks rainmac, last day of tablets too! I'm not often ill so I think my body has been saving it up for a while and decided to wallop me all at once :rotfl:

[STRIKE]we are[/STRIKE] I am going to be painting the kitchen over the long weekend and then I have next week booked off work as holiday, yay!

flourgirl

Glad you are feeling better Gemm, dont over do it at the weekend, you should still be resting and playing with your new stash

Gemm85

rusty you should enter your pink card into the creative cottage challenge

Gemm85

Wanna-b-rich - Where is he flying from? hope he has a safe flight home!

I managed to make a card since I picked up DS from school. I think it is nice .... only problem is .... IT IS PINK!!! :eek: I don't do pink!

He's flying from Newcastle and should be home very very soon.:D

Pink card is gorgeous - for someone who doesn't do pink I think it's pretty fab
