Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Addams

Happy Birthday Rusty. Hope you have a great day (Sorry I'm not one for images, its enough for me just to get all the text done!)
Thanks Marg and pointofnoreturn - I will have a look at the tutorials.
My DD and me have been playing with the embossing kit that OAP sent. Its great, so thanks again.
Its alot cooler here today, hopefully it will stay dry until my washings dry, then I have a date with a great huge pile of ironing which I'm not looking forward to, but have to get the kids uniforms done for Monday.
Hope everyone has a relaxing, enjoyable day.

PONR - Marrakech sounds fantastic, you lucky thing

Melissa - glad you enjoyed Gullivers world and the zoo in sunshine. Thank you for the recipe, although after you're report I'm not sure about trying it :rotfl:

Rusty - gorgeous cards on your blog, they are definitely worth looking at

Padster - lovely cards, the shells on the shorts one are fab

Congratulations Giggle

Marg - the stampamajig doesn't have any measurements on it so I'm not sure it would be any use for lining up layers. I have to admit I'm often very lazy and line up by sight - not always with good results though :rotfl:Glad you enjoyed your bbq

Louby and Scatty Jan- belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Lei - fab male card. Hope you had a great time at Thorpe park

OAP - great news on your test result, you must be very relieved x

Flourgirl - sorry to hear about your dad, hope it goes well for him at the hospital . Gxorgeous baby card on your blog

Mad-Frog - fab cards especially the image and sentiment on the male one

Nici - Sorry you've been feeling down recently. Hope you've got your child free day today and can get some crafting done.

THE-WIFE - lovely cards. I'm in a daze today as I got woken up by the birds at 4am. I'm definitely not singing 'cos I don't want it to rain again :rotfl:

Glittermum - very pretty notelets and fab card by your DS. Hope you've had a lovely weekend

Hassy -my parents love the south lakes zoo, they keep telling us to go but its a bit too far for a day out. Sounds like you had a fab time at Dawns

Gemm - sorry you've been feeling so carp. Its good the gp has given you the chance for some 'time-out' and give the new dose chance to work. Others on here have given some good advice already, but if you want to talk, feel free to PM me xx

Tired Mom - thank you for the offer of transport. I can now drive as far as Alty so can get to the supermarket, its just the craft shops I can't get to :rotfl:Hope you have a great time at CP

Scatty Jan - congratulations on your win

Rainmac - fab card on your blog, very funky. Glad you're enjoying your big shot

Crafty JuJu - hugs to you, its definitely the other woman who has a problem, maybe she's just jealous of your gorgeous stuff

Louby - what a lovely thing to find on your doorstep, enjoy it

wishfulcomper - hope your m-i-l is ok and you get to the range

Hi folks, just having a quick catchie up:

PONR - Thanks for freebie links
Mel - ooh you sound organised christmas pressies already!!:A
The Wife - my hubby & yours should get together - honestly he is weather obsessed - always on internet checking out sites i.e. "Is it going to rain today??" - so so sad!! Cant wait for 2012 to see you in the Olympic diving squad!!

RustyFlange

Wow thankyou so much ladies!!

I have been completely overwhelmed with cards from you all and also gifts!! I will blog them all later on but MIL & FIL have just taken the kids to the circus so think I will drag OH to hobbycraft!!

So far the weather is rubbish and I am in a bad mood! which is always good on my birthday! OH and the kids didn't bother to even wish me happy birthday, but they gave me card each OH bought me some sandals which I chose and paid for (not sure how that works but they are for my birthday! ??) :rotfl: Even my own mum forgot my birthday!! Anyway enough moaning, I am off to see if I can spend some money that I shouldn't really spend on craft stash just to cheer me up.

Had some beautiful cards from lots of you and lots of lovely gifts! You all made me cried, but I did it upstairs in my bed when I was reading!!

Rainmac - Thankyou for the lovely cake!! wow must have taken you hours!! ... hurry up The Wife, have a dive and then share it out, save a crumb for me though as I am not allowed cake! (Eeee what a foul mood I am in lol)

Snap...that what I'm planning this yr too I got the mugs out of the last xmas sales & found a seller on ebay for the whisks but not yet got round to buying them....better get that done really before theres a mad rush for xmas hope u don't mind me asking....but which seller did you use? thanks x

craftgirl1960 - Gorgeous makes

Thankyou everyone for your support today over what happened last night with the lady at work

I don't mind you asking at all! I used Andrewandlizzy and they sent the whisks out in their box, recorded delivery. Admittantly that caught me out and I had to go and collect them from the depot. They probably did say on the listing it would be recorded but of course I never thought to check! They sent out very promptly as well so I have no problems passing on the name. The whisks aren't exactly supreme quality but I think they are more than adequate for snowman soups!

Hope that helps x

Sorry Rusty, I forgot to post your card, dunno how I thought it would get to you. I'm off to the post office in the morning and I'll blog it when I know it has arrived. I could have got one of those blasted wood pidgeons that woke me early early this morning to take it up to you, going to look on ebay for a cap gun, sending sympathies Skiergirl, I know how you feel.

Right, let's not leave the old girls waiting for their cards too long:eek:
