Another follower for you CPS.

Well done on your win Rainmac - gorgeous cards as aways.

WBR - I was going to charge £1.50 for my cards at the toddler group my friend runs, but she told everyone they were £2.00 each, and people seemed happy with that price. I'm making up another basket of cards for her to try and sell next week and hoping that all 40 sell, as I need to raise £2,500 for our holiday in the summer - got about 8 months to do it through card sales and car boots. Just booked to go to florida for 2 weeks - so excited.

Love the card PONR, your brother will love it.

Giggle - haven't got any photos on the PC on the sweet table I had at out wedding, so will look through some actual photos and see if I can find any for you - it will take me a couple of days though.

Just updated my piece of the internet, with a very quick and easy card. I've managed to blog everyday since the 1st, but not sure I can keep it up!

I've finally finished the tutorial for the newspaper style cards. I'm trying to work out a way to do a link to a word document on my blog, because it is quite picture heavy, but if anyone would like a couple pm me your email address and I'll send you a copy over the next few days. PONR has tested it for me so it works, but be warned that the instructions are for Microsoft Office Publisher 2007, so if you have an older copy they some of the instructions won't be correct for you, so you may have a bit of figuring out to do.

PONR - haven't forgotten what I promised to send you, so hopefully I'll get something in the post to you by the weekend x

KMS26 - thank you for the Christmas card, that arrived here today.

Hug to anyone that needs them.

PONR- love your card, I bought the cheers beer stamp months a go for £1 and so far have used it all my recent male cards lol. They also had the full die cut set of all adult range and it sold out so quick i missed it.

I haven't blogged for aged so need to get back into it and also to comment more on other people's more too.

Evening all. Just a quick visit from me while I wait for glue to dry - yes I've been crafting . Think my mojo has the hump though it's taken me all evening to produce one card, but now I'm on a roll

Rainmac - congrats on your wins, very well deserved

CardPaperScissors - I'm following you.

PONR - fab card, those stamps were a complete bargain.

Thanks for all the links that everyone keeps posting, but I'm now going to have to ignore them. DH has agreed to buy me a craft robo and I'm then going on a stash ban as I need to save for my hols. Can I be cheeky and ask how people price their cards that thet sell?
I keep getting requests for cards but have absolutely no idea how or what to charge - any advice would be hugely welcomed. TIA x

Thanks for following me and reciprocated.

Re. card sales, I've sold a few at £2 and three or four at £2.50 but they were more detailed/had boxes. HTH.

Thanks - I have ordered some of the die cut/decoupage ones from there as well but they've not arrived yet. They looked nice, some are in colour and some sepia but good for quick cards. You can get some good bargains on that site!!

Thanks CPS & CT. I'm going to have to start selling some of my cards to make the robo pay for itself. I've only sold a few cards, but have left the price to the person buying and have always been more than happy with the price. However, a few people DH works with have asked if I can make/sell some of my cards and I don't want to appear greedy, but equally don't want to be out of pocket IYSWIM? I think I'll try the simpler ones at £2 and my other more detailed ones will try for a higher price.

I'll say nite nite as I want to finish this project and he who thinks he must be obeyed is here tonight so no early hours crafting for me

Yes the newspaper cards are fab and fairly easy to do with the tutorial although I had an older version of Publisher so not quite so easy for me lol!!!

Oooh - you booked for Florida!!! That's great, now you can start your shopping lists!!!! Make sure you sign up for the newsletters for Michaels and Jo-ann to get the coupons!!! I think Hobby Lobby might be over that side of the US also not 100% sure though!
