Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Marg

Well Done Wifey hope your back is feeling better now.

Bunbun & Toms Mum - I'm with you on the DT thing, I couldn't do it either, it takes me sooo long to decide what to do, as I can't visualise, then it usually goes a bit pear shaped @ the last minute - I couldn't risk it. I so admire all those who are on D T's.

Dragonllew - Oh I thought it was just me! The ribbons I got were too big to do what I wanted so I'm not happy with what I've done and still one more to do. Think I should have done the ironing instead.

can't get to sleep so came down for hot choc, put the milk in the micro and went to get the choc and there is none so i am drinking hot milk which i'm not that keen on

Well done The wife

i am thinking of getting a new score board and was looking for some advice on what to get, thinking of going for either the Scorpal or Martha stewart

also which wet glue do you use, i want it for sticking gift boxes together

I have a metric scorpal but it never seemed to have the right lines iyswim so i bought a martha stewart one from joanna sheen it's great .

Some lovely stamps here and half price too as they are closing down

Snipped you - sorry. " I know what you mean about having to make things to order its so much harder than just making what you want I been doing some bits for the crafty ribbons thing today and have been completly uninspired by the ribbons this time and it so shows in what I have made I'm really not happy with them.

Glad it wasn't just me then! When I opened my ribbons I thought OMG what am I going to do with these!!! The weird thing was, when I saw the post for the challenge I was quite inspired, but I seem to have got slightly different ribbons to those shown and some of them were a different size/texture/fabric to what I was expecting. The only good thing was it made me crack on and create something even if I'm not thrilled with the end results. If I'd left it, I just know I would be stressing and panicking and would probably have ended up making nothing and sending the ribbons back.

The-Wife - well done and hope your back recovers soon.

Flourgirl - welcome back, glad you had a nice break

Tomsmum - congratulations on your win.

Lizzy & Babyfreckles - gorgeous cards.

It's still way too hot here, no rain and no sign of it either and I have got to clean the house this morning and do my ironing.:(

Have a good day everyone. x
