Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

paddingtondoo

I hate unrestrained birds in the house - we had a starling come down the chimney a couple of years ago that OH got out. The last one was in our bedroom :eek::eek: heard the cat thumping and jumping about and there it was - have no idea how it got in unless it got under the tiles and down through the hole in the ceiling where the shower cable goes through (OH has been promising to fill said hole for last 3 years)

Did find a poor little dead sparrow under the spare bed once too but think he must have come in through the window Wouldn't mind too much but ours is a house cat so never goes out :rotfl::rotfl:

Stash free update - will be ending next Sunday maybe as I'm going to the Doncaster show LOTV and Little Claire are there so will deffo spend something :rotfl::rotfl:

Has anyone had any luck getting into the Letraset site?? I can still only get as far as the front page but it won't let me any further.

Try this . I tried yesterday and found I couldn't get in by clicking on Craft Store but could by going to Manga Store. Didn't buy any as the ones on offer were, I think, £144 + VAT which doesn't make them a lot cheaper that a lot of other places.

Thanks - managed to get in on your link. I thought the singles were on offer also. They don't seem to have much on offer do they, I wonder if the offer has finished already. They are not cheap even with the 10% off code so I will wait until something else comes along!

bunbun - lovely cards!

My DS decided today that he wants a halloween party for his birthday which is fine as his birthday is in October, I'm hoping to be organised and do the invites myself, do any of you use any packages like powerpoint etc to do stuff like this?

I think they had them on offer in Wilkos when I went this week - I know they do them in Lidl but don't know how much they are - best go yourself though - I remember the tea bag mountain ...................:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

If I can get blogger to play will post pics of a couple of cards and update on my stitching blog (click eeyore pic from main one )

I think i will go myself i asked him to pick up post it notes from asda as i paid £2.00 last time and my daughter said they were £1 when she went in. I picked a couple up and they were 70p so he went next day and thought he'd bring me some more. I now have 20 packs in the craft room. :rotfl:.
Maybe it's a hint to make more goodies and get rid of some stash. lol.
I think the kids take after him i asked sam for beer mats he brought me about 1,000 and i asked my daughter to get me some pencils and she brought 100. I suppose it's better than them not bringing any and they will get used.
now i have 2 summer fayres to make things for for the girls and my dil and then it'll be stuff for the xmas fayres :eek: oh and goodies for carly's hospital to raise them some money.

Sorry, PONR, I missed the . out, it should have said the singles that are on offer are £1.44 + VAT. Those not on offer are £1.69 plus VAT. Not sure how much their p+p is. There's places cheaper than that and some with free p+p such as Joanna Sheen (off the top of my head).
