Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Marg

Thank you Dragonllew for the heads up about the magazine.

Welcome Bolton 214 Defo the best help you'll get anywhere is on here.

Rusty - Well Done with weight loss and fabulous cards. Love those new images & think to colour might spoil them (especially if I did it)

Well Done Rainmac on your new DT I think it's a great opportunity for you and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make. (might have to pinch your ideas though......)

PONR - have a great holiday.

Tiredmom - hope you feel better soon and your son has some good pals in his class.

Welcome back Nici - don't hide away when you feel down come on here & we'll help you through it.

Gemma - Glad the uncertainty is likely behind you and all goes well when you go back next week. x

Wanna b rich - Well done on winning the challenge & setting a new one. Off to put on thinking cap - for yours & still not done second ribbon thing:eek:

Bolton214 Welcome to the thread

Nearly finished a card and altered picture frame for my niece, need to get ready for work now so hopefully I will finish that tomorrow or Thursday, I need to give it to her on Friday so I need to crack on with it

rainmac

Thank you very much ladies, I am now super freaked out, not sure I have enough male themed stash to make mens cards

Padster, I blame you entirely for my Elzybells splurge, I spent nearly £30 but it is all half price I am thinking of selling a few cards somewhere - ebay, folksy, facebook not sure yet... I've been thinking about it for months, need to pull my finger out and just do it really.

Crafty JuJu - I didn't realise it was afternoon already:eek: And 2 cards in a morning how do you manage that?:rotfl:I'm still struggling with my 1.

Rainmac - Don't freak you CAN do it. If you need male images/papers please shout as I seem to have the stash just not the imagination to use it.:rotfl:

Scatty - got both pm's will do asap.

Thank you Craftygranny - I also had a little spend @ Ezybells yesterday.:rotfl:

Almost done my Crafty Ribbons cards - they are really bad but I've spent days & some sleepless nights over them so am sending them off before it gets any worse. Never Again!

I bet your cards are beautiful Marg

I am at one with myself once again, the house is clean and the ironing is done (well, nearly all of it) . Need to cut the grass later as Mr Lazy aka rainmac's OH didn't do it at the weekend . Come round to mine after 5pm and see what a tip it will be as DS1 has got a friend coming round after school

Juju lovely cards!

Marg I am sure your ribbon cards are fab! Don't be so hard on yourself.

Jowri well done to your children! :j

Tiredmom enjoy London!

Ponr enjoy your holiday

Wow quite big post for me where I actually remembered people! Lol hope everyone is ok?

Just a quick heads up £land have some fab animal stickers and also home bargains have lots of various stickers including glittered alphabets for 29p a pack, I sort of bought all of them from the cramlington store today whoops! I can take a pic If anyone wants to see whT they are like?

Hoping to make some more simplecarss his afternoon if dd let's me, she ain't well, not sure if it is just a cold or hay fever, she is really bad though and she fell out of the car and have grazed her knee so has 2 bad knees so the world has ended!
Ds has appt at docs on Thursday as he has a mole on his back which is very raised and feels like a scab, hope it is just me being a bit panicky and not anything serious, thing is this mole only came up since his real dads cat clawed him!

Anyway hope everyone has a good afternoon, I am off to craft and following in juju's footsteps and saying s0d the ironing/housework!

Think I have some male stamps that I can do you some images of somewhere - if in doubt add a football LOL :rotfl:

Not completely my fault about Elzybells - was Craftgranny that posted it - I only mentioned it :A

afternoon all, my posties just been, thanks to the lovely Rainmac for the card, its gorgeous

will I break the record? I made 5 cards this morning for my fair :rotfl: however they are all very similar in layout and colours (I hate making exactly the same card more than once!) I also made a little set of 3 small notecards to go with the rest! my 'team' (my mum and auntie) are coming round this afternoon and I am going to set up a trial stall on my dining table to see if the display looks OK! they're going to help out talking to people as believe it or not i'm very shy and if left to my own devices I doubt I'd sell a thing

still waiting for an online order that I placed last monday - they have now sent me an email to say that one of the items is out of stock and they hope to send out my order in the next 1-2 days. I just wish they would have told me this last week at the time I placed the order as I could have bought the stuff from elsewhere by now :mad: grr rant over lol

rusty hope your DS is ok!
