Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

melissa75_2

Evening all - I've finally managed to catch up!!! We've had a few rough days here!! Yesterday Matilda seemed to sleep all day whereas today she's hardly slept at all! Plus Elliot has been a nightmare - continuously crying so as you can imagine the house is a right mess! I've been getting really frustrated because I can't tidy up but I suppose I'd better get used to it! To cheer myself up I'm planning a bit of a splurge - I've got my eyes on some of the new CC designs stamps and some new paper pads!

CT19720 - fab easter box - love the cute image and the pretty papers! I use this glue to stick on my flowers - it sticks really well and you don't need too much either.

Soulie - Lovely Tilda card - love the sequin border, and your altered notebook is fabulous - love the colours!

Mad-frog - that's great news about RBK - it would be fab if she joined us on here!

Carmin - fingers crossed you get the job!

Flourgirl - Stunning Tilda card - love that doily punch! Gorgeous anniversary card too - the lace is fab and the colours look lovely together!

Tomsmom - Beautiful anniversary card - the paper is gorgeous and I love the touches of yellow!

Mary - sorry to hear about your OH - I hope he is feeling a bit better now!

OAP1945 - Great cards - you are brave trying new techniques - and the effects are fabulous - love the autumnal colours.

Viclspence - I'm glad to hear that your insurance money is sorted now!

Dragonllew - Gorgeous easter card - I love how you've done the corners of your paper - it looks so delicate. The inside is stunning too!

KMS26 - Really pretty card - the colours work really well together and your flowers are lovely.

Congrats to our latest winners!

Paddingtondoo - Your baby card is lovely - I realy like the blue and green together, and your flowers look really pretty with the buttons in the centre. Your "celebrate" card is fab too - the teddies are really cute! I really like the choccy cake and teddy image on your third card - the ribbon finishes it off perfectly!

PepPop - well done on walking that far - I don't think I could manage a mile let alone 16!!!!

Ali.b.123 - Lovely easter cards - love the image and the pastel colours that you've used on the first and your bunny card is really cute - can't believe the paper is from some packaging!

Cardpaperscissors - Lovely easter card - love your punch too - that's another one to add to my wanted list!

Flying_fresian - Great birthday card - I love the matching dress and bag!

Craftygranny - HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I hope your mojo returns soon!

Ocentric - Welcome to the thread!

Artydoll - Fab gorjuss card - the butterfly is really pretty and the sentiment is lovely!

Glittermum - gorgeous neverending card - love the lilac - did it take you long to make - it does look complicated?

Louby-Lou-Lou - Huge congratulations on getting onto a DT.

Lizalloareds - £324 - ouch!!!! Like you said - its a good job you paid for your big shot first!!! Good luck with the beans!

Rusty - I'm so sorry to hear about Paul's Grandad and that your kids are giving you trouble - I hope they settle soon. The nappy cake was stunning - the pink and black looks lovely together! I love Matilda's Minnie Mouse too - I was saying to the OH just the other day that Tilly hadn't got any teddies! Everything arrived safely - it was all so well packaged I couldn't believe the size of the box when I saw it - my poor postwoman was struggling!

Julie03 - hi and welcome to the thread! Your cards are fab!

Well I thought I was doing well keeping up todate and then spent last night in A&E with hubby, who has dislocated with a poss. fracture (will find out today after more xrays) whilst playing volleyball in p.e. time at work!!! nightmare!!!

Melissa - hope things settle down at home and Matilda gets her days & nights the right way round (hugs).

right off to pick the kids up from their Nannas who kindly looked after them last night before I try and get ready for work and explain I'll be needing more time off - gulp!

Sorry I've turned into a bit of a lurker. I've been off work on holiday for 3 days but it's turned into a card making nightmare. I was up til silly o'clock last night finishing an order for today. Off to get some more done. I'll hopefully be back on again later, and I'll try to multi-task and blog hope too. :wave:

I have completely lost my voice today, which has been interesting at work when trying to speak to patients an the phone! My hubby has ordered me a big shot, this one, which I thought was a pretty good offer. Please don't correct me if i'm wrong though, I may cry!
