Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

wanna-b-rich

Afternoon all. Just popped onto check all is well with everyone and see what you've all been upto.

Had a really nice end to a carp day yesterday, when I found out I'd made the top 5 over at Crafty Cardmakers and also managed to get into the Crafty Ribbons challenge (amazed to have got selected as I didn't see the email from them til about 5pm and almost didn't bother applying). I've never done one for them before, so not sure what to expect, but have ideas running through my head, just hope I don't make a complete a*** of things.

Congratulations to Melissa and Furrypig and thanks to Choccy for setting the last challenge.

PONR - thanks for the link to the Promarkers, I need to order another pack of skin tones, so it will come in really useful.

Ali - your bee card is lovely. I have a left a comment on your blog I hope you don't mind.x

just popping on to say hi, have updated my blog and commented on yours (hopefully!) i need to get some more promarkers, it is an expensive hobby! i keep thinking if only i had this a shade lighter/ darker, dh doesn't get it at all!

I know exactly how you feel about the promarkers cg. I feel exactly the same.
Your cards are lovely, you have been very busy!

Choccy - The wedding cards and accessories are really lovely. I have to make one for a friend, so will try and get it made in time for the challenge.

Ali - they did - they said they were getting more stock in soon - so I'll keep checking back and I'll let you know when they arrive. I was going to order the two types that they sell but they've raised their free postage band to a £30 spend and they don't really sell anything else that I want.

Wanna-b-rich - congrats on your top 5 place and getting on the ribbons challenge.

Congrats to Melissa and furrypig!!!
Craftygranny - that is so bad of Royal Mail - sounds like the bag carrying your parcels got completely lost. My mum's friend sent her a birthday card and saw the postman empty the box so knew it had gone but it never arrived. Where do all these lost items get to??

Off to blog hop - see you later!!!

Thanks Melissa - hmm might just go with the ebay ones - Does anyone know if £16.50 is a good price I've googled them and that seems to be ok - but just wondered if there might be a superduper bargain somewhere.

wanna b -congrats!!! (might not be my bee card though??)

Our Hobbycraft is still out of stock of the promarkers - boo!!

Well Done Melissa & Furry! I'd forgotten about the challenge on here.......

Well done Wanna B on getting Top 5. (Think the Bee card is CGCockcroft on here) I get sooo confused with all the different names,

I've also been chosen for the Crafty Ribbons thing! I didn't read it properly, commented, & went out Only when I got back did I realise you had to email them as well! Gormless! I'm a bit scared now!

:wave: Thrifty - How are you?

Choccy - I like the Wedding theme as I've got a card to do before the end of July so may try to take part.

Re - Saveapenny she is on facebook so I messaged her to say you'd been asking after her. Harry is 14 months now!! and thriving.

Best go - am in middle of spring cleaning the kitchen:eek:

:beer: Craftygranny for the Craftyribbon note I got selected too so thats 3 of us MSE ers so far I havnt done anything like that before so will have to put my thinking cap on

Joana Sheen has promarkers at 1.69 with no postage. I ordered a few yesterday along with some stamps (EEKKK) well having seen them on C&C I just could not resist the sheep and the dog and the pig oh and I needed (!) 2 more TH ink pads and some ezi mount and some..... OK I well and truly ordered stuff... but... my OH told me to go ahead as its my birthday next month, now how do I get hold of them before the end of July. Ideas on a postcard please:rotfl:
away to blog hop now.

Back again with another question - has anyone done the bottle top squashy thing with a Big Shot - or was it only with the Cuttlebug??? One would be ideal for my brothers birthday card wondering whether to pop to Wilkinsons tomorrow???
