Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

paddingtondoo

Morning all!
Rusty there was absolutely no reason for you being a linky for Penny Black stamps - just me being dim :rotfl:

OH had me digging out one of the beds so he could plant out his tomatoes and chillis and stuff - was so shattered I collapsed into the garden lounger to listen to the football and today I'm a decidedly pink bear :rotfl: So no more outside for me today (phew)

Glad you liked the images Flourgirl I meant to send you an uncoloured one of the tea party as well but have it sat here

We have to go out for budgie seed today and it's right next door to The Range - not sure if I'll pop in or not as have bought so much stash this month maybe will start my stash diet from payday next week :rotfl::rotfl:

Hope everyone has a fantastic sunny day was woken this morning by the cockerel 2 doors down - hadn't realised how much noise the windows shut out now

Big thank you to rainmac for the linky. :jThink i'm getting addicted to digis and best part is nothing to get past the o/h . He doesn't see them coming. :rotfl:

That's a huge advantage to digis isn't it, nothing to drop on the doormat for your OH to see You should have seen my OH's face yesterday when 4 of my orders from last week arrived yesterday while he was here. He didn't say a word, he didn't need to

Morning everyone.

Thanks for all your lovely comments on my card and also the wishes for a good night. I had a fab time and definately wasn't orange. The event raised in excess of £2K for McMillan Cancer and I've come home laden with goodies too. Following the usual discussions with DH re getting taxi vs one of us driving, I agreed to drive. Part of the deal was that I could have more Promarkers, so I've also got another 12 Promarkers coming for the fab price of £12.81! Thinking about it though I should've driven a harder deal as the taxi would've cost about £35

DTB - glad your back is better. Hope you had fun at the Maypole Dancing.

Farmville - I was a little reserved and wore a simple black Ben de Lisi dress (kinda hoping that I get more than one wear out of it that way), but blinged it up with sparkly jewellery. Oh and of course you need a blog, how else are we going to see your fab creations?

Tired mom - LOL @ the lobsters comment - you were so right, one poor lady looked like a Christmas candy cane and there quite a few sore looking pinkies too.

The Wife - love your card that you made for Scatty's challenge

Choccy - I received 20 in the post yesterday too - if you've not already ordered more, don't forget to use Google checkout and the code (not sure I'm allowed to post it on here, so if anyone wants it PM me) to receive another £2.50 off of your order. Good luck with the DT card, I'm sure it will be fabulous.

Scattyjan - congratulations on the houses

Ali.b - welcome home, glad you had a good time.

Nici - sorry your not feeling well, hopefully this nice sunshine will help

Rainmac - thanks for the link

Right, really must dash now - I've got to whizz to Mr T's and then we're off to two parties today (well I use the term we meaning me and the kids - think DH is feeling a bit sorry for himself and will be staying in bed for the day!).

Hope everyone has a great day and that those who are poorly feel better soon.

Morning, Lovely day again not gone back over whats been said but will do in a min just hope everyone is ok

We did it!

Little old Blackpool FC in the Premier League! We had the best day out ever! Left home at just after 7am and got back about 11pm. DH forgot the tickets so we had to go back after 15 minutes driving!!! Numpty. We got one of the last few parking places at Stanmore tube station car park which I can recommend if you ever have to go to Wembley. Am very tired today, no hangover but then no voice either I jumped about & shouted far too much for a mature woman but it was soooo exciting!!

The [STRIKE]orange[/STRIKE] Tangerine ribbons I got from Crafty Ribbons in the sale at Christmas made a bit of a streamer for the car & I tied one to my handbag but other than that DH & I were fairly subduedly dressed compared with some of the other tangerine sights we saw! So doubt we would have attracted the TV cameras. It was 106 degrees according to the temp gauge pitch side & we baked but so 'Glad all over' (Blackpool's song) we went.

Can you tell I'm still buzzin'? Best go & do some work..........Catch you later......

Choccy - I'm about half way sorting your stash out - the stamped images and paper are done - just got to pick the embellishments out now - I promise I'll get it to you soon. I ordered some more promarkers from creative craft world too - I don't think I've got many left to get now!!

CraftyJuJu - I love your new bracelets - I think your chocolate pearls one is my favourite, I'm glad to hear your ankle is feeling better.

Rusty - which shop did you use for the flowers??? The roses I ordered from mulberry crafts are huge (I ordered the 2.5 cms ones) although they are really pretty.

Ali - welcome back!!!!

Dragonllew - thank you so much for my gorgeous swap card and stamped images. My card is so pretty - I love the stickles around the edges - it looks really effective.

Lizalloareds - sorry I can't help you re the cricut - I've only just bought myself a big shot.

Nici - sorry to hear that you've been suffering, hope your tablets start working soon.

The-Wife - your music card is lovely - I love the gold scalloped ovals.

I bought these flowers from creative treasures which was one of the sights I thought you had recommended? I can vouch that part of my order was sent seperate and arrived next day, which concerned me to start with but the flowers arrived the day after :j they are sooooooo beautiful!!

:rotfl: sorry I thought you were tempting me again :rotfl: I have clear penny black stamps and don't like them I prefer wooden backed ones by them but I think that is personal preference!!

I meant to tell you in our local disneystore they had mini pheneas and ferb/n skateboards (leeeetle finnger ones) reduced to £2 from £5 not sure if it is nationwide but noticed it on friday night when OH and I dumped the kids at his dads and we went accesorize & Paperchase sticker shopping :j ... I only spent £20 on stickers ... well actually he did I didn't pay a penny!

Nici - hope you feel better soon.

Rainmac - hope you are feeling better? thanks for the link, I have emailed for my stamp :j

Craftygranny - thanks for telling me cause I wouldn't have thought to check again!

Lizzaloreads - personally pay the extra and buy it in the UK. If buying from america then the likely hood of you getting an american plug for it is high, but also have you thought about the taxes when it enters the UK? a company will state its value and then you could very well be stung for hefty amounts by tax in this country. Look on UK scrappers in the market place and keep an eye out as there are always machines like this which go up for sale, many simply due to not being pink (unless it is a pink one you want?)

Ali - glad you had a fab time

Marg - WOOOHOOOO!!! I read your post out to OH and he just laughed!!

Right can anyone help me please, I need cello bags, I dont want to pay a lot for them as trying to keep costs down to be able to sell these cards. Main card blanks I will be using for them will be Anitas 5x5 card blanks, 4x4 card blanks and the Tall ones which Anitas does, but mainly the 5x5 and 4x4 with the occasional craftwork card one thrown in which are just short of 6x6 but ideally could do with getting them from same place to keep postage costs down.

Hassy - I haven't forgotten about your prize, if you could see how full my boxes are and how heavy they are you would understand, but please I will try sort it out this week. xxxx

Flourgirl - I haven't forgotten about your email, I plan to do some of them on monday morning whilst DD is at nursery :j I hope you don't just expect a few though as I have a box full and planned to try and use most of them :rotfl:

Marg - I'm so chuffed for you that Blackpool won - fingers crossed they do well next season!

Bunbun - hope you feel better soon.

Rusty - yeah that was one of the sites that I mentioned - I always worry when mentioning a new site that I haven't used before that it might be carp. Sorry for confusing you it was just that I mentioned 2 sites for flowers. I ordered loads of the cherry blossoms from CT - plus some of the gems on the stems - they are huge!!! The last time I bought card bags it was from ebay - I bought loads of 6x6 ones.
