Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Gemm85

thanks for the freebie link rainmac, that kitty is so gorgeous

wanna b rich- pleased to hear the event was a success, enjoy your new promarkers!!

Marg glad to hear you had a fab day at the football and would have loved to have spotted your car zooming down the motorway with the tangerine ribbons on

bunbun what an awful time to get a migraine, although the extreme heat might be a contributing factor? sending hugs and hope you are able to enjoy some of the sunshine today xx


I am feeling much more human today after the mad garden finishing yesterday! the next stage is tomorrow, we are going to look at sheds, yay....


any other Lost fans on here? the finale will be broadcast at the exact same time as the USA, tomorrow morning at 5am on sky1! I will be getting up at this insane hour to see how it all ends

Marg

Bunbun - hope you are feeling much better today - take it easy....

Rusty - My brothers who have 'Pool season tickets are looking forward to coming to Newcastle again though your OH may be the one laughing!

Gemma - Can we pics of your garden please?

Gemma - Thank you - my ribbons were very modest - nearly every vehicle going South on the M6 & M1 had tangerine scarves, banners etc & I feel sorry for anyone visiting the service station on the M6 toll road yesterday morning - you couldn't move for Seasiders. I was out of the ladies a good 10 minutes before the men who had to queue to get in and out!

Sorry - for being off topic - still buzzin'

I'm going to settle down to some card/ATC making later but it might all be Tangerine - oh! not the ATC 'cos that's not a fantasy anymore:D

Just a quickie from me - is too hot to go anywhere near our garden as there's no shade at all!!
Glad you got back ok Marg - they did brilliantly :beer:

I got my cello bags from here Rusty - can't remember what P&P was though as I bought them over a year ago and still have some left Their cellophane is also good but don't need any more of that either :rotfl:

How very exciting!!!

Gemm, I love LOST (don't understand it but still love it) but will be watching it at a normal time tomorrow night

Wanna-b-rich, what a fab total, so glad you had a good night xxx

Rusty, I would say ebay for cello bags too. Wilkos sell some sizes and their prices from memory are good.

Congratulations Marg and Mr Marg, how exciting

Hi I have just ordered a cricut expression and the cheapest we could find is from www.smartcrafts.co.uk, you can also choose what cartridges you want with it, you dont have to have the standard ones that come with the machine. I ordered mine on Friday and it should be here Monday.

I thnk that was the cheapest place when I was looking too. £295 for machine and 3 carts is very good value. I bought one second hand for 320 but it had 10 cartridges with it so I was happy with that as it meant I didn't have to save up again for carts. I'm currently deciding which ones I want to keep, then will sell on the rest to buy the carts I REALLY WANT - accent essentials, storybook and everyday dolls.

Which carts did you go for?
