Ideas for card craft beginner

Mary - my youngest is 5, oldest is 6. As I said I have never had it so I can't get over how bad it looks. We are meant to be going to a halloween party later at their cousin's house, they have been looking forward to it for weeks. Their two eldest cousins have had it, but their youngest age 2 hasn't. Her parents told us to still bring the kids over, and that it was better for her to get it when she's younger.

i want some nestabilities
What is the size you use most? Large or small.
I mostly make small cards but the occasional large ones too. I want to be able to layer them and to be able to stamp my magnolia stamps on to them
So what do you suggest i but the small or large?
I just cant get to grip with the sizes and want to know what set is better

melissa - tis better if the kids get is when they're younger.......they don't seem to suffer as much, if at all. Judging my mine and the ones in the cul de sac where we lived.

Mary - me and the little one came back from the party early and have left oldest son and Oh there. Little one has taken to his bed, and is watching cartoons with a bag of monster munch and his cuddly toy - he is happy!
Kethry - gorgeous cards, I don't think I could pick a favourite.
Saint_Chris - I live in Liverpool, was it rennies you went to, I haven't been there for ages!
BabyKat - I'm sorry I can't help, I have never heard of them!
Saveapenny - you are a star!

Hi melissa75

no it was the papermill shop in the shopping center, next to the boots.

I did venture up to rennies later on. Bit of a old shop this one is, but it has some good stuff in.

where are you in liverpool?

Saint_Chris - I normally go to the paper mill shop to get my card. I used to get my decoupage papers from rennies, but it used to take ages to search through them all. I live in Toxteth.
