Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Tired_Mom

Evening All

Once again I'm posting and running I'm afraid.

Rainmac - Glad little one better and hope you have fun tonight.

Addams - My other half has used Promarkers alot in the past so he also likes them which is rather handy.

Padster - Congrats on the I Did It Creation DT

Lei - amazing weightloss

Scatty - Glad feeling more positive about the house and hope you get a good outcome.

Rusty - Your new food intake sounds much more realistic, you stick in there you are doing fab.

Artydoll - Welcome

The Wife - Sorry to hear about your friend, life is so cruel. My friend's husband has just been diagnosed with bowel cancer a year after being made redundant. They have 5 & 7 year old girls and you just think WHY?

Marg - According to the oracle (OH) Escallonia's like warm weather which is why you get good and bad years. They don't like to be over pruned and late summer is the best time for cuttings. HPT

Congrats to the two winners, sorry not sure what you've won but I know they will have been great creations.

Made my friends nappy cake, Rusty the instructions were great, today and really pleased with it for a first attempt, think the hardest bit was getting the cellophane right!

Change of plan this weekend and we are not going to the caravan. We are instead doing the 2.5hr trip to Portmadog to give the kids a day on the beach which they love. It also means I will be about on Sunday Skiergirl so am trying to grovel to Shirley to fit me in on Sunday evening as registration has closed.

I will actually update my blog on Sunday as well hopefully and manage a blog hop.

Take care all off to look at these sale sites now.

Morning all, just keeping up to date ...congrats to the winners:T:T, not had chance for a blog hop yet - hopefully later when football is on. Had a nice night last night at Angelas - made 4 easel cards with her Stampin up goodies - will hopefully blog them later.

Thanks for freebie links.

Will be back later - swapping bedrooms for littlest son - so making a start getting new bedding etc -off to Dunelm mill this morning - I noticed their bassill (sp) card is half price at the mo - so I think a few sheets of that might fall into my basket while oh looks the other way:rotfl:

Paddingtondoo - your list is quite respectable - hope you manage to get everything that you want. I definately need to buy more nesties - on a card I've just made the die border was too small so I've had to cut a few out and stick them together.

ScattyJan - your purple card is so pretty - love the butterfly, and your music card is fab too, thanks for taking part.

Congratulations to ******!

OOh just had a look - what a shame the postage is so high on Angel Crafts. It really puts me off ordering even when there is a sale on. She'd do better to reduce her postage abit!! I am loving the craft shops that give free postage and post the same day!!!!If you enter the code saving at the checkout and hit redeem, this will give you free postage and is valid until 1st July - any problems, give me a shoutIf anyone has placed an order within the last day or so and paid postage please contact me through the site and I will refund that for you.I cannot guarantee that I will be able to post same day though as there are loads of orders to get through and the kids are now on their summer hols!!Am away to get a coffee and then going to get packing orders

Morning all. Going to post and run today - the sun is calling!

I've blogged my challenge card for Melissa's Purple Challenge - thanks for setting it. I was a little shocked at just how much purple I had in my stash! Plus it forced me use some new goodies, so all good.

Gemm - thanks for nominating me for a blog award, really nice of you to think of me. Silly question, how do I accept it??

Have a great day everyone, hope the weather's still being kind to everyone. x

You just have to save the image to your computer and then add it to your own blog, like posting a card picture, and then nominate 12 people you'd like to pass it on to

Morning all - lovely sunny day it is too!!!

ali.b.123 - wow 4 easel cards in one night - that is brilliant, well done!!!
papillongirl2 - many thanks for the free postage code, will be having a look over at Angel shortly!!!!! I shouldn't spend anymore but free postage and a sale, well it would be rude not to!!!! Cheers!!
ScattyJan and WBR - will be posting your bits off on Monday - forgot it was Saturday today and I never get myself out early enough to catch the local post office before it closes at midday!!!!

I was making some chocolate cake with fimo last night - sorry The-Wife you can't dive into this chocolate cake!!!! LOL!!! Will blog some photos later, hoping to make a bracelet with it today so will blog that also.

Craftygranny - my 'handcrafted' stamp came today - very pleased with it and the superfast service, but didn't the rubber smell lol - it was like burnt tyres!! I guess that is because it is freshly lasered!!!!

I had an email from Craftmaking World with a £1 off coupon - so I went and ordered a digi stamp set for £1. I'm not sure if the code can be used by anyone but if you'd like to give it a go PM me for the code!!!

Not sure why it is doing this for you - I press quote and it brings up a reply box with the word QUOTE in [ along with the person's name that I am quoting and a number along side then closed ] - should work as the brackets bit is the HTML code.
