I liked the monkey name for you earlier too. Probably just me but it took me ages to find the right place on the page but got there in the end . Good luck

Evening ladies hope you are all enjoying the sunshine not getting any cards made though while the sun is shining!! Even did some gardening today and oh started the lawnmower for me while he sat and watched - said I'd done a good job he wouldnt of dared to criticize!!!! lol

Congrats to our latest winner !!

Thanks for you comments re the ink pad after wasting 2 sheets of card finally got a decent image I'm wondering as well if its how Ive been storing it I read somewhere to store it upside down but I'm just going to store it the right way. As wondering if that is why its so wet.

Good Morning Ladies!

It's been a long time since I posted on here, but it's good to see all the names that I knew from before, still posting! Hope you're all well?

I've just been busy working, but am currently at home ill with a chest infection (yeugh)

However, I wonder if I could perhaps ask for a little bit of help with something. I've been asked to do some beach themed wedding invites. I've obviously had a look online to get some ideas etc, but wondered if perhaps some of you lovely ladies might have something better than I've got in mind. I was thinking along the lines of shells, sand coloured paper, perhaps gold hearts etc. The bride to be is having gold, chocolate and blue (ocean) colours.

Anyway, I'll crawl back under the covers for now and leave you in peace - lol.

I'm off out in the garden today to do some tidying and stuff, got a couple of bushes that dies over the winter and I need to chop them down. I haven't had a proper craft session for ages and am missing it, just don't seem to have the time at the minute

Congratulations to the latest winner :beer:

Hi Sal, so sorry to hear you are poorly, hope you feel much better soon. I think your card ideas sound lovely, could you make a picture using coloured card/paper with a blue sky and sand for the err sand and then pop a tiny shell or two on the sand? I'm thinking a small picture maybe 2"x3". Not sure how to add the chocolate colour, maybe a sheer ribbon bow? Sorry that's all I can think of...

SallyUK - Hello good to 'see' you here again, sorry you are poorly hope you feel better soon. Here is a beach image 'freebie' that you could perhaps use?

Busy day here so far, and more of it this afternoon Roll on Easter for a break.

Could use orange glitter to represent sand to make it sparkly?! You can buy some sand coloured glitter paper from Hobbycraft, it WAS on offer a few weeks ago and worked out really good value.

At the minute I'm just making more stock in the hope to do a craft fair during the summer although I have no idea about where there wil be one, I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled! Loving the weather!

SallyUK

Thanks Rainmac for that suggestion and for the freebie Marg, good to "see" you again too!

That's a good idea about the glitter too Fozzeh, thank you for that!

Afternoon all
Hope you are all having a good day, another lovely day here. I love the sunshine!

Congratulations winner!

I am trying to figure out what text to use on my craftrobo for cutting out names. I remember someone on here did some cards with names. Was is CT? I would be very grateful if whoever it was could let me know what text you used and what size. There are just so many fonts!
Thanks xx
