Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

CT, I always use Anita's tacky glue on them but quite a lot, hold the flower in place for about a minute and it will stay stuck. I know some people use Silicone glue for flowers but I haven't got any of that.

Mel, hope you had a good night with your brood xxx

Thanks for your advice KMS and Rainmac - i'll give that a try next time I want to put some of these flowers on a card. I had held them in place before for a while but obviously not for long enough!

The Wife - does your Easter challenge have to be a card, or can it be an easter themed box? If you will except a box, can I enter your challenge with this please?

Me too.
I used to use double sided tape but I've found silicone to be much more reliable for those types of flowers.

Not a card but last night I posted an altered note book on my you know what.

Off to catch up now as I haven't had a PC for a few days.
It seems my hard drive has fried, thankfully I save all my files etc. on to my extrernal hard drive, so nothing major was lost, other than my bookmarks

So until I can afford a new PC I am using my son's old (but newer than my PC), computer as he uses his laptop mostly now.

Well I have been a bit naughty and have had a bit of a craft splurge, ordered lots of essential things like ribbon, flowers, stamps, ink, more stamps, glue nut I was good and didn't order anymore paper pads.

I have 4 cards to make am in the process of the very difficult task of looking through paper pads and actually choosing the papers I want to use ...... does anyone else waste ages doing this?

Forgot to say does anyone remember the poster RBK who was in hospital after trying to end her life and some of us on here sent cards?

Well there was an update on her thread from a friend who has visited her in a new hospital and she is just beginning extensive treatment and has been on a card making course :T Hopefully in a few months time she will be joining us on here :j

Yes me! I almost always spend ages making a choice (and I haven't got that many papers) then in the process of putting the card together change my mind 'cos it looks carp - I just can't picture how something will look when I start so every card is a mystery 'til it's done.:o
