Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Angelcrafts - I have no idea if she does hacks (or even what that is )
To me horses are just big things that someone else sits on :rotfl: I can ask her if you like? Whereabouts do you stay?

Enjoyed Nanny McPhee but cried much to DD's embarrassment - sneaked out before the lights came up. Cinema was very crafty though you can't just go somewhere to buy tickets you have to queue up at the popcorn and sweet counter - I had a rather large bulging handbag so just asked for tickets and girl said is that all? and looked at me funny

Struggled back to car laden down with new duvet covers and curtains most of which came from Wilkos. TJ Hughes have a warehouse clearance on so got 2 pairs of curtains for the lounge for £40 - bargain!

Hello ladies, I am trying my best to keep up, I do read just don't post as much as I should! I'm hoping I'll be up to speed soon!

I'm not sure my husband knows what to think of my new found hobby I've had a few things delivered papers, flowers and my pro-markers and I sit by my desk looking at them, to scared to use!

I've got a few birthdays coming up all children and the thought of buying cards is a no no for me, Just wondered if you all make your own for children? I have one Toy Story fanatic not sure how I would incorporate that in a card, the others are girls so I'm hoping they will be easy enough! Your thoughts and advice would be appreciated. xx

Just popping on a pic of a few cards I made last week at the crop. The turquoise one is for my daughers friend for whom she made some super gifts, her first memory wire bracelet for one.
Sorry I don't have or plan to have a blog yet!

Hi ladies, I've been awol for a couple of weeks, down to the in-laws (yes I did go to the glitter pot again ), and trying to catch up on jobs since we got back . I'm 40 pages behind with the thread :eek: so am not going to try and catch up but have read back to yesterday

Well done Marg on winning the challenge, and thank you for organising the list, mine arrived today too :T

Evening ladies!

We're back from a lovely holiday in West Wales - just the washing mountain to sort out now.

I'm not going to attempt to go all the way back through the thread - so I'll throw out a general 'Well Done on your lovely makes' and 'Hugs' for anyone that needs them and 'Happy Birthday' for anyone who's had one!

Thanks for the list Marg.
