    Hi ladies need some help again :cool:

    I need some easter images and sentiments. I need about 20 so any help is much appreciated.

    My DS1's class at school are doing a easter 'drive' where they will be taking an easter goody basket to all the elderly people that live in a nursing home at the bottom of my road. My DS1 went told his teacher i would be happy to make them all!:eek: So when his teacher spoke to me this morning and said that me offering to make 50 easter cards was really kind i could hardly say no! :rotfl:So i though i would try to make 2 of each design so that they all had a different one each and as there are men and women there i need a variety of images. When i told my OH he just cracked up! But then said think of the publicity!

    One good thing i suppose is that i have a few weeks to do them all lol.

    Betterlife would you mind i used your image that you kindly sent me on a couple too?

    Oh the joys of children!

    :rotfl: oh the joys of children, check your email address, I have just emailed you 6 images that I have saved from last year ... good luck xx

    Marg & The-Wife you have PM's!

    Thank you Rusty!
  • Hi Everyone,
    I'm recently new to this card making thing... I've always made cards for friends and family but i'm now looking at venturing into a wider market. I have set up a little facebook page but this is about all I've done so far. I'm looking at trying to do a fair too but i'm struggling to find out information about where there are going to be fairs. I live near Manchester/Cheshire.

    Any advice at all would be greatly recieved :)

    Check out this post and this one I think it might just be card stock that she uses - if you ask her she'll let you know - she's great at getting back to you. :)

    Have been busy cleaning the house, we are having a party for OH on Saturday (only just remembered to order his present online oops :o) It was supposed to be a suprise until he announced he had arranged to go out with the lads and I had to tell him to unarrange it :mad:

    Louby Glad your niece is improving

    Betterlife Great images you are very talented

    KMS That was nice of your son lol :p

    Welcome to the newbies

    Can't remember what else I have read sorry

    Going to go food shopping tomorrow morning then determined to do some crafting, we might have OH daughter to stay over Saturday which means I need to tidy up my craft room as it's the small spare room :eek: It will take me days!
