Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

kiss_me_now9

Made my OH a card last night for his birthday, nothing fancy - pretty good idea as when I told him what I was doing he went 'Oh, I don't really care for cards you know...' Yes I know but it's nice to make them

Congratulations Julie03 :T:T

Padster LOL at you typing one-handed - I know exactly how that feels :rotfl:

Picnic or should I say Happy think you've lost the plot :rotfl: Now I'm singing it too :mad::D

ArtydollGlad you're home safe and sound. Here's to a speedy recovery and not too many strange dinners (if your OH is cooking )

Rainmac :eek::eek: ouch at the glasses bill - have you thought about contact lenses?

Marg Ooh exciting - I want lots of pics if you do take the plunge.... oooh will it be a baby kitten... oh I want one!!

Skiergirl Have you tried the tissue stuck up each nostril method - I can recommend it... works wonders when I've got hayfever :rotfl::rotfl: just don't answer the door without checking you have removed them.

Finished another card last night :T and got another one to do tonight for an order - I think OH is feeling neglected Can someone find me another say 5 hours to add to my day please???

The_Wife, I use picassa photo albums, then edit the picture and add text. It is the easiest way I have found so far

Had a fab crafty day yesterday, lots of die cutting and stamping done, posted lots of cards to friends today, so once they have received them I can update my bloggywoggydoodaa.

Hope we are all keeping cosy, it's freezing and foggy in Glasgow this evening brrrrr.

Shocked myself and made twenty christmas cards last night :eek: Well, they're 90% finished as I just need my bigshot to arrive so I can die cut the 20 circles I need for the sentiments lol!! Speaking of which, I think I might have some how aquired a bigshot and other crafty bits for free!! :eek: Waiting to hear if the lady wants any money for it
Just another 20 to make - stamping the Papermania sleigh in black which will then be glittered and mounted on black and then on white card

Lol PepPop, I've worn contact lenses since I was 16 but need glasses as a back up and to wear at night/first thing in the morning.

Wifey, I use GIMP (free software) to get my pretty watermark on my pics. I found out how to do it on Ann's site here, hth. If I can do it, anyone can x

Get me away from the computer, have just ordered from Bunny Zoe's, new Bildmalarna stamps, they are gorgeous

Aaah I see... although that makes your glasses bill an even bigger OUCH!!

My dad has needed glasses for as long as I can remember (we're talking bottle bottoms) and he went in for his second cataract operation yesterday - when they changed the lens in his eye they put in a corrective one and he no longer needs his specs - how cool is that. He's 90 and he's got better eyesight than the lot of us now :rotfl:

Wifey Just realised you're asking about signatures. Did you download that Paint program ages ago when we were recolouring Netty's stamps? If so I could have a look and see if I can do you a tutorial for it.

I finished my card order last night so whoo hooo more pennies in the pot :T NEXT..... Why is it I can either keep up on here, blogs, making cards, or blogging but never them all at once... suggestions on a postcard please? Oh and I'm wanting to start a course in the new year but I need to do prep work for it and that ain't happening either... Anyone any good at time management??
Hugs to all

[STRIKE]When[/STRIKE] If you find the answer to good time management please let me know I've been searching for ever, and in my case it's the card making that suffers because it takes the longest.

Good for your Dad! I've read that they can do that so have high hopes for when I have to have mine done.
