    Ordered a book from Amazon with lots of different ideas in it. It doesn't give much detail on each technique but gives me more of a clue what to search for on youtube :)

    Could save more- I think it can but I haven't got one so hopefully someone who knows will answer you!

    Giggles- sounds like you're having lots of fun

    Mad-frog sounds like you had an amazing time. What a great place to spend Christmas

    Hi everyone :wave:, seeing as Mad-Frog asked so nicely for the oldies to say hi I thought I'd respond :). I was just on the tax board (oh, I do have trouble with HMRC :() and thought I'd pop along and see what's happening.

    I made very few cards last year so hadn't really got anything I could contribute to the thread. I did get around to making just a few Christmas cards and will get around to blogging them at some time.

    I've got two 40th birthdays coming up, d-i-l first later this month, then son in April. As I'm hopeless at men's cards I might cheat and buy a card for my son but will put my thinking cap on for my d-i-l.

    Hope everyone had a good Christmas and new year.

    Another oldie here popping by to say Hello. I hope you all have a very Happy Crafty 2013 xx.

    I actually made 2 cards today...yay!!! My shoulder is getting better, after a year of agony, and I felt like having a go at some cards for the birthdays on my calendar for this month. Not blobbed yet. I ordered some stash too from ebay... ATG tape (10rolls) and some Hi-tac glue as mine had set in the tube! both essential :-)

    It feels like ages since I made anything, life just seems to have got in the way plus I'm working full time 3 days now, it helps hubby's pension stretch to holidays :-)

    Are there any challenges going?
