Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

THE-WIFE_3

Marg, I changed it to something else now as I like the pale green centre of the one I have now, it makes it easier for me to read and find the spelling mistakes.

Someone needs to look here as well - lottery ticket anyone? :j:j

Feel rubbish (well too rubbish to iron ) so am going to craft - just have to work out how to stop my nose running on my projects :rotfl::rotfl:

Artydoll - your cards are lovely - love the big present one, but you easel card steals the show - it is gorgeous - I love the colours and all the flowers!!!!

Wanna-b-rich - congratulations!!!!!! I haven't forgotten your prize - I am just rubbish at getting organised - I'm going to try and get it sorted today so that I can send it off for you tomorrow!

Soma - hi and welcome! I love your layout and your cards are fab - my favourite is the hedgehogs on the sea-saw!!!!

Morning all, well done winners and welcome to the most expensive thread to the newbies!

Can someone point me in the direction of where the best place to buy sweet pea stamps from is please? I know glitter mum has some and I love her cards, but think I might just buy 1 to see how I get on with it?

I'm waiting on my elzybells order but think someone said there would be a delay? OH managed to win a competition on sky for some Terry pratchett disc world items and much to his surprise one of the books was signed so he is over the moon!

Not had a chance to make any cards over the weekend as we have started decorating toms room, I need to buy some star wars canvas for his bedroom and wondered if anyone had a specific seller from bay which they could recommend?

Will try and catch up later, engrossed in the grand prix so shouldn't be here .... Hamilton or button to win! :j

Welcome Soma, I love your cards. Thanks for the link to blog backgrounds. I need to sort one out, but havent found one I really like yet.

Hi everyone

Gosh that was a mammoth catch up. Cogratulations to all the winners aren't we on a spree on here. Welcome to the newbies hope you've lots of money for other people to spend for you! Read lots and it seems to have gone in one eye and out the other ear.

WBR - Hope outcome at hospital is a good one.

BunBun - I think it was you giving up dairy. I have dairy intollerance and find the Tesco's soya milk the best. It is the one in a blue carton and is sweetened. Different makes of soya milk are all very different and some of them are disgusting.

Gemma - Like Marg said, now you know you are leaving hopefully work will seem manageable. Glad your craft stall was a success.

The-Wife - Thanks for heads up re blog, I too have lost my background and don't understnad from their site whether I can get one back from them or if they are now no more.

Rusty - Think I've missed a page, can I ask what you are using the test tubes for? Congrats on your weight loss you are an inspiration.

Not managed any card making last week as had a manic week. The next two weeks seem hellish as well with so many school activities and then the children will be finished for the summer. I will be spending most of the holidays at the caravan so need to sort out crafting stuff to take with me.

Thank you for all your kind words with regards to DS moving to Junior school. It has made such a difference to him knowing he is with his two main friends and I hope the rest of you with children moving schools have just as good outcomes.

DS and I have had a super two days in London but it was just tooo hot. Over 30 both days and 20 on Friday night. We are both shattered as have walked so much and the heat really takes it out of you. We saw so much and he thoroughly enjoyed it but I think we are going to have fun getting him up for school in the morning!

Right housework beckons I'm afraid.

Catch up later.

Dragonlew I could kiss you - but I'll give you a virtual hug instead! Thank you so much - DD is having a party and I'd bought some of those notebooks with the intention of doing a similiar thing and DH pointed out the spiral binding and asked how I'd get the paper to fit properly! I thought I was going to have to paint the edges to get it look right and had all but changed my mind about doing them. You know what I'm going to be upto this week:D

Your notebook is stunning - did you use the Crafty Ribbons challenge ribbons on it? If so they look fab on there. x

no problem can't wait to see your notebooks and yes it was some of the crafty ribbons challenge ribbonw.

TiredMom it looks like someone has come forward and offered scrapping blogs another server to use instead of Photobucket. It will take a little time for them to upload all the layouts that they had. Watch their space!

Hello all :j
Been trying to catch up -fair wore me out........it's so hot and half of you are doing housework while I melt in my chair................lol

Made some little notelets more male orientated as one of the lads who used to live here wants to keep in touch by letter and this morning made a little holder for a handbag charm I'd done.........6 more to go :eek: Everything seems an effort in this heat plus I've got a sore throat Never mind........rain forecast tonight and tomorrow -much needed and maybe it'll clear the air

Hope you're all ok and hugs (((:o))) to those who need them
