Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

craftygranny

Just had an email from little claires . They have the martha stewart fence and the grass edge punches for 7.50 each . They have the loop and the flower corner punches for 3.99 each and embossing folders for 1.99 each . Not that i'm encouraging the elves but they just ordered mine. lol. Even my oh thought at that price it would be rude not to.

Right can someone please come get my spendy elves - they are out of control!!! Thanks for posting the link Craftygranny just ordered the fern cutting die, would've had the rose one too, but it's too similar to the one I bought the other week.

That's it now, I'm not looking at anymore links posted and I'm not going to buy anymore goodies for a while.

Morning everyone.

Welcome to all the new posters - it's the friendliest and deadliest(for spending) thread on MSE!

Suma - you naughty girl posting that link - it's a good job I'm at work and can't actually buy anything at the moment.

We came back yesterday from a lovely weekend camping in the New Forest - we normally go May Bank holiday and I think this was actually the 1st time I've been camping on lovely weather!

I've actually made my swaps for June (hangs head in shame!) - just need to post them now! DTB - will get your stash swap out on Thursday when I can get to a PO. I think I'll give this month's swap a wide berth - I hate being late!

Congrats to all the winners on there - I think entering challenges is going to be a bit beyond me in the summer months - just can't get organised enough! But I can see myself beavering away in the winter months!

I bought some of the new Born to Shop range and will hopefully be making a few cards this week- they are going to be perfect for girly cards and will make a change from my usual alcohol based cards for friends!(think cocktails rather than beer though!)

Have a lovely day all - we've got a semi social afternoon at work with some 'fun' activities planned - think sports ady for gronw ups. Fingers crossed that the weather holds out!

The rain has arrived here, not complaining really as the garden needs it. Off to work in a bit so no time for crafting today.
I have been sorting through some of my photos of all the animals we have taken on our travels with the intention of getting some scrapbooks done, does anyone know of any animal type papers I could get please? Thanks

We finally have a lil bit of rain - yay I can here my garden shouting

Thank you for the MIL comments. OH's family don't really do compliments so it's negative or nothing. I am used to it but it still winds me up sometimes

Hi all, Are you still talking to me?

I would just like to say a big thankyou to Marg for her lovely card. I've missed you all and it was so nice to get this at the weekend.

I haven't had any access at home for ages cos the laptop and everything else has been packed up cos we were decorating the whole house and my boss blocked MSE in the work. I've persuaded him to let me use it at lunchtime and I'll unpack the laptop tonight. So hopefully this is me back.

I don't know what you've all been up to but i will try to catch up so I'll send you all hugs and thanks again Marg.
