Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

RustyFlange

Me again, Just to say a big thankyou to DTB, &son and also TheWife for the beautiful birthday cards which have just arrived!! They are all fab!! The Wife I love the inside of the card, so cheeky but so true :rotfl: Will blog them later on but I have to ask what papers you used on your card please?

Also I have just had my buttons arrive which I got off ebay, I didn't want to post the link before as I wanted to make sure they arrived and were ok etc, I thought they were cheap and they are really nice! 300 buttons for £3.44 delivered from hong kong!! Cheaper than over here and they are definately worth the money!

Am quite chuffed as last week I managed to do a mystery shop and there is another one I have got today! Makes me feel better about having to give up my job!

I need to ask ............. those note pad holders with the bulldog clips. I have a few coloured clips in my stash. How do you make them? As in how is the bulldog clip fixed onto the mat thingy, and I take it the back "leg" is kept down under the note pad. I think I'm being thick :rotfl: .

You just pop the clip on the top, like this.

I made Top 5 at Pink Gem Designs last month :T :T :T Waiting for my blog blinkie to be emailed and then it will be proudly displayed I didn't make the DT but when I looked at the cards of the ladies who did I could see why they got the places.

Our weather has been dry so far but it is looking grim outside, I expect it will chuck it down when we have to go pick up Jack from school

Thomas and I are going to make chocolate and peanut butter cupcakes this afternoon. They sounds a bit rich so going to make small ones

Flourgirl, hope your OH is ok. I had an absess lasy year and it was horrific, I'd rather give birth again than go through that again to be honest. My stuffed mushrooms were delicious, I just dry-fried a pack of streaky bacon chopped into small pieces, added some spring onions and the mushroom stalks, popped into the mushrooms and topped with grated cheese and a few breadcrumbs. A fab summer dish, my boys wouldn't entertain even trying them, mushrooms is a no no for them, little do they know they are always in my spag bol sauce

Big hugs to everyone xxx

:jRainmac congratulations on your win:T

Thankyou for letting me in on your Stuffed Mushroom recipe. My DH hates garlic;) I think he would be horrified if he knew just how much he eats:rotfl:

Rusty your buttons sound fab value can't wait to see them on your cards.

DH is at the dentist at 2pm thank goodness, this morning he looks like a hamster:eek: Which reminds me we had 3 rabbits in the garden this morning:eek: DH wants an air riffle:( that will mean no glass in the greenhouse!! Poor things they are cute and they are only babies lol trouble is they will soon fatten up on the veggies!!

Rusty I'll let you know when I get home later and have a look at the card as I can't remember.

Rusty great news about the mystery shop. I did one once, well it was a sort of survey for Vauxhall still they paid me £25 then a few weeks later I got a huge posh hamper full of fab stuff, I can only assume it came from them as there was no letter inside or anything else to say who had sent it!! Unless of course it had been delivered to the wrong address:eek::D maybe it should have been for my posh neighbours, who have yet to speak to us, bearing in mind we have lived here for nearly 19 years:rotfl:OMG I hope it was theirs:rotfl:

rainmac, well done on the Pink Gem front, well deserved.

I must get my old girls cards done when I get home, just in case!:eek:
