I made my 1st card using a Magnolia stamp and yes im now hooked i will have to get some thats not christams ones. I have put a photo on my blog of it not happy with the face yet but working on it

Lovely card, can I ask if the snowflakes are punches or dies and if so what they are? I have a stamp for christmas cards and sentiments but my small snowflake punch is rubbish! what colours are you using on the skin tones?

:j:T:j Yeah fingers & toes crossed for you

Giggle - your card is gorgeous :T I'm loving all these images, I feel I need to own some too

Right I'm over today....I think I have my mojo back for crafting :cool: I've just gone through my Facebook shop & Folksy shop & edited each listing stating that the jewellery will come 'Gift Boxed' & change my P&P alittle as I found with the box & bubble wrap it was classed as a large letter so wasn't charging right amount :eek: so would be out of pocket....glad I realised sooner rather than later :rotfl:

I'm contemplating making something tonight...hubbys gone to mates for beers...so when kiddies are in bed maybe I've got so many ideas floating around my head right now, thats why I think I have my mojo back x

I know I am a complete pain in the bum but has anyone seen a reasonably (cheap) priced harlequin pink and black design?? like this?


I have a pink and white one I could use if not which the lovely flourgirl sent to me but thought pink and black for a female golfer as OH's real mum is coming tomorrow :eek: means I have to craft tonight!

Giggle that card is lovely - the face looks fine to me?

Rusty - Does it matter what size the harlequin pattern is? I've got Pink Petticoat black & white & can colour the white pink IYSWIM? Then send it as an attachment? If that's OK what sort of shade of pink - like you've shown or paler - is it critical?

Happy Birthday Jowri - hope you have had a lovely day and been spoilt.

Thanks for the links to the papers Lei - just bought the 180 12"x12", that should keep me in papers for a while.

Crafty JuJu - sorry to hear about the blood test and you've done something to your foot. Hope it gets better soon. I can't give blood easily either, and once when I had an anti-natal blood test the nurse was new and put the needle straight through the vein - there was loads of blood and she didn't have anything to stem the flow excep the wrapper the needle was in, so she put that on my arm whilst my OH walked out as he was about to faint.

Bunbun - hope you feel better soon.

:TWell done on winning Incy Wincy Choccy x:T

I'm so happy I have sold 7 cards today, on top of the sparkly girly ones I did for my mums friend at the weekend. My childminder asked me to make her up one for a friend of her mums who is going through cancer at the moment, so I took the box of cards I have been making up for the car boot sales I want to do and she bought 5 and the grandmother of one of the children she minds also took 2, and will ask me to make some more up for her later in the year.

Just got to pick my youngest up from a club, so will blog hop later.
