Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Mad-Frog

Chocolate Orange please send Rusty my best wishes and that I am thinking of her

Paddington my challenge card is on my blog, can you add me to the list please

Well I am making some cards today, am supposed to be buying some more compost but I can't really be bothered to go out and the bags are so heavy anyway that I think I will leave it until Sunday when I am off and get OH to take me.

Going to have a blog hop before I get on with more cards

Monica, my SU chum on her Many Passions blog has now started us off on one of her monthly virtual hostess parties and I will be ordering SU products around the 23rd of every month if anyone needs anything.

Choccy send Rusty gentle squeezy type hugs from me.

OK ladies!!

I need scolloped circles.....medium and small also alphabet lettering.
For the sizzix bigshot......any one able to help with the cheapest possible ones?

(i have a limit on what i can spend monthly...and methinks i have maybe spent 6 months worth in this past 4 weeks!!) Plus I put in a huge order last night for payper mill.....another one today for sizzix.....oh and I know i have more stuff coming but i cant remember what it is.....Anyone else have this problem?

Oh Wifey would you do that for me? Please, I'd like the scalloped punch that matches the craftwork oval sentiments having seen them on your cards, I'm sure I could think of something every month if it helps :rotfl:

Ooh Gemm never noticed I wasn't getting your blog updates come through but have tried re-following you so hopegully that will work! You've made some beautiful things with your Robo already.

Good news on Rusty at least they're actually doing something now even if it is a temporary emasure. Hopefully it eases her pain even if only for a bit.

My Sugar Nellie Lucky bag arrived today! For those of you that are interested they still have them in stock and I got the following stamps:

Scattering Love - http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=706

Fizz - http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=711

Best Fishes - http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=750

Curtsy - http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=807

I then got four small accessory stamps - two small butterflies, a single flower, made for you with handprints and made with love.

Not necessarily ones I would have chosen but i'm really pleased with them and already have lots of ideas xxx

Huge thanks to Rainmac for the lovely stash she sent me for my prize for card swap on crafty place its fab thankyou

My pleasure, glad it arrived so quickly x

Choccy, I am so glad Rusty is now getting some help, do you think we could do something on here to let her know how much we're all thinking of her, how about a card for Rusty challenge, what do you think? xxx

I've just received a couple of stamps I've ordered (a Sarah Kay one and Fleur Anya), ordered another yesterday (Penny Black) and got 2 on order already (Princess Tilda that's taking an age to get here and another I can't remember) that haven't arrived. I may need some more white card

Wow that's a fab selection of stamps, I nearly went for the lucky bag but then didn't. I wanted to buy Daisy the little girl sitting down where you see the side of her but I couldn't find her on the site, does anyone know if she's been discontinued?

Choccy-thank for update on Rusty, glad she should soon get some releif from the pain, even if only for a short while. Hopefully the consultant can push her up towards the top of the waiting list too.

Rainmac-think your idea of a card challenge for Rusty is lovely, I'm sure knowing we're all thinking of her will help her through all the treatment and pain.

BIG THANK YOU to everyone for all the lovely comments on my blog and also on here, it's really inspiring me to make more cards anbd try new techniques too.

Hope all having good day so far, busy here, my best friend's sister was taken into our local psychiatric (sp?) last night after they had an awful weekend of her being really distressed and unwell, been at friends for a chat and lotsa cups tea, think whole family really upset, but hope I was able to offer some support( I was in same hospital with severe depression etc after both my children born.)

Hugs to all who need or want them xx
