Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

jazabelle

I've been sitting out in the garden today too! Although I got too hot, so came in and then it was freezing in the house!

I'm very excited, I'm having my walking stick decorated by Glamsticks for my birthday, and I've just been sent the pictures.

It's an original design of faries and butterflies in glitter, with a gold background. I currently have a multicoloured gem one, which I still love, but fancied a change. It's not easy to see the full design, but here are the pics:



The worst thing is I now have to wait until July before I can have it!

I also sold my first few cards last weekend! I did a carboot sale and sold nine of them! And had quite a few compliments.

I'm back and have had a fab day. Went to Wilko's and The Glitterpot and visited my brother while we were out that way. Also managed a nice pinic lunch in the park. Didn't spend too much, luckily a lot of the bits I've got on my "must have" list were out of stock! Bought some Card Candy, was bit shocked at the price as I paid £1.50 and where I normally get them I only pay £1, so needless to say I only bought the one pack of Snowballs.

Tiredmom - the glue tape pen is this one. They are really good and I bulk buy them to make it worth my while travelling. There are 2 in pack for £2.50. I also buy my craft knives/blades from there as they are brilliant (my pretty pink one I had for Christmas is relagated to a drawer somewhere).

Peppop - congratulations

Dragonlew - thanks for the link

Just been for a nosey Gemm on your website, but it doesn't show me your beautiful jewellery, just what looks like a domain name page for UKReg. Is that right?
