  • There are lots of great cards on here! I made my own christmas cards but dont think i will have time to this year as have two exams to study for just before Christmas :(

    However, a friend of mine has just opened a gift shop and is letting me put a few of some 'normal' cards I have already made to sell in there. Fingers crossed!

    Essexgirl - Where did you get your holographic paper from?
    My cards are so naff in comparison that I think I am going to refrain from puttin them on here. If I get my act together and make some nice ones, I might feel brave enough.
  • rkhoo1 : I think I got it in Hobbycraft. Not very MS I know:o

    I think my cards are naff. Please post yours. I always get loads of inspiration from seeing other peoples cards, and I always think others are far, far better than mine. the Docrafts website has a great gallery of other cardmakers designs. I'm sure your cards are lovely:j

    LOl your cards are not naff theya re REALLy fab looking! I think we all think our cards our rubbish because WE cna see we made them. Putting them on here, actually, has made me look at mine a bit differently. And I freely admit to knicking other's ideas because inspiration is not a friend of mine. ;)

    I'm not in the least crafty & even the simple ones I lose patience with after repeatedly glueing my fingers together/stars to the sofa/dog fur to the card:rolleyes: BUT every year we send a home made photo card, just a carefully posed photo which we home print onto card. Here is this years photo, taken this morning :
