Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Lou05

Hi everyone!
Hope everyones well!
I've not been on here (or stalking!) in so long, time seems to be flying by (think working and having a 3 and 9 monh old has caught up and leaves no time for crafting lol!)
I've only made a couple of cards recently, dont even think I photo'd them for my blog which is annoying! I've decided that I'm going to make my daughters birthday invites which isnt until August but thinking I better get started and do them a few at a time.
I've got my cricut but hardly used it (dont telly hubby!) and am not really getting on with my promarkers either!
Does anyone have or know of any stamps that are suitable for a 1 yr old and then 4 yerar old (they were born on the same day!) - if so could you please point me in the right direction!
TIA!

Quick bit of advice making a thank you card and which would look better 1, 2 or 3 I kinda prefer 1 but also like 3 as well.

Great cards - I like one and 3 too, but if I had to chose one of them it would be no. 1

Mumoffour - Sorry the turn out for the fair wasn't great. They can always be a bit unpredictable. I'm sure your goodies are fab, and as others have said, you have more to sell at the next one.

Marg - how did the opticians go today?

Rusty - hope you have had a restful night/day.

Been so busy making other cards, that I just realised I need to do my OH one for next Monday. Since I am paying for us to go on a ghost tour/walk in August I thought I would have a go at making a Haunted House themed one. A long shot I know, but does anyone have or know where I can get a haunted house backing paper from. I've done a search on the internet but not found much.

Thanks

Right I've blogged my card that seemed to take all day and I'm not sure even looks right! I'd like to enter it for your MSE challenge please Rainmac and I have also entered it for the Magicial one and Creative Craft one.

Right off to get tea for DS before swimming.

Are these any good, haven't time to look now for anymore but if you google halloween as opposed to haunted quite a few seem to come up.

I love all of them but that's no help is it, I would say number 1

Help please so I don't look a numpty on the challenge.

I have been having a mare of a morning as I am using papers, colours, sketches etc that are all new to me. Basically I have ended up spending the last 4 hours making one card. I want the card to be for Rusty was my main objective but it has ended up looking anything but a get well card, didn't have suitable picture or words etc but C'est La Vie I'm sure it's the thought that counts anyway. Sorry rambling...

The point is if I have followed the sketch from Magical challenege, but done it in an easel style for the other challenge is that allowed or should the magical challenge not be an easel one as it doesn't state it?

Sorry not sure that any of that makes sense I think I seriously need some lunch......

As Choccy says you can enter more than one challenge and an easel card is absolutely fine for the MC challenge

I've got lots of ideas for cards running round in my head for ones I need to make but not much in the way of inclination to get them made
