Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

promarkers and copics are the fav amoungst most of us. I started of with whispers but they are not very good.
be warned once to start to collect promarkers or copics though you will want the lot :rotfl:

Sorry i wasn't around yesterday we were decorating then had to go trampoline hunting lol. Princess k spotted a trampoline in asda but none in stock so we tried 3 other stores before we got one lol.
Marg He got a kia Sedona it's a lot easier to get in and out of and bags of room . we can still get some of the grandkids in and the zoomer so all good. Not had one of those before we had a serena with having so many grandkids but it was quite high.

Glittermum . I haven't decided what to do yet but it seems pointless everything just sitting there . I did get rid of everything once before and it cost me a fortune to replace things so i'll give it a while yet. I can't stop buying stuff though i just bought some nesties and punches.

Hi all you crafty people out there! Have been using jelly roll metallic pens for colouring in stamping and peel offs - can anyone out there recommend any other pens on the market?

I agree with louby promarkers or copics . I have all the promarkers but daren't even buy any copics as i know i'd want them all.
I might try some aqua markers though anyone got any? are they any good ?

I had an order for a nappy cake yesterday and made an easter bonnet with ds when he came home from school which is a bit of a waste of time as i can't see him wearing it and the same people win every year anyway.:D

I have been asked to do a nappy cake, just wondered if you could give me any tips, especially to stop it collapsing before it gets to its destination !! Any other tips would be appreciated. Many Thanks

Have you tried looking at some sketch challenges, that might give you the nudge you need to get back in the saddle? Or how about going through your stash and prioritising it, keep what you like, ebay what you don't then have a go at making some bits with what you've kept? I have a set of Aquamarkers, I won them and haven't had a proper chance to use them yet, they look good though.

Whoo hoo, I won at Crafts and Me :j I think my win is 2 Krafting Kimmie stamps :beer:

Glittermum, the job is going ok thanks, lots to read and learn but ok I think

It's positively COLD here today and cloudy Need to think of something quick and easy for tea as I have a preschool committee meeting tonight, yep in the holidays, apparently it's necessary *rolls eyes lots of times*

Take care everyone x

Flourgirl made wedding invites recently, have a look for them on her blog, they were beautiful. If you are looking for ideas you could use google and look for images, you'll find 1000s but they may give you ideas about what you could do? Have you been given advice on colours, styles etc from the bride & groom?

If anyone lets you know how to lose weight fast please share the secret with me x

Afternoon ladies, quite chilly here and threatening to rain :-( been bowling this morning and then the boys have had a little bike ride - Tom is nearly 8 and a late developer riding his bike he just didnt want to learn but he is getting there now (thank goodness)

rainmac - congrats on your win!! The Kraftin Kimmie images are so cute I bought one last year and haven't used it yet - oops :-) (we're having salady type things tonight ham,quiche etc - am on a mission to use stuff up - lol)
craftygranny Have a mooch through your stuff there must be stuff you have forgotten you have or even not used just to have a play around with no pressure for any challenges just maybe die cutting or colouring in and see if anything jumps out at you???

Right catch up again later xx

Hi Ladies,

Well that missing file is still missing!!! My DS2 said the computer ate it! :rotfl:Couldn't help to laugh, but it was 4 pages long!!! Started it again now though :cool:

Craftygranny, i had some Aquamarkers, i couldn't get on with them at all, so ended up selling them on ebay and buying some more promarkers with the funds I only need 20 more to complete my set! My wedding anniversary and birthday is coming up soon so that will be what i ask him for, although that isn't until the 10th and 30th July so may just *need* them before that. When i feel i can't make anything, i colour LOTS of images, that way when you do feel like it they are ready and waiting. Also look through any magazines you have, that always inspires me.

Louby - Congrats on the DT position, we are all a friendly bunch, so if you have any questions just ask, even if you think it is silly, trust me there have been quite a few!!:rotfl:


DO NOT LOOK AT THE NEXT LINK IF YOU ARE ON A STASH BAN!!:D

I had an email from Caft Superstore for a large bag of crafty things for £25 oops £50 later! Do you think i can pass that off as someone gave it to me? :rotfl:

I have been asked to make some bookmarks, the chipboard type. Does anyone know where i can get any blanks that i can decorate?
