Hobbies and Crafts

Hello all not been about because we were away over easter, not done a lot of crafting either but am trying to get back into it. Did manage to sell a few of my cards while we were away.

Ann, you have just jogged my memory, I recall buying some books when I did the cards years ago, I got rid of the craft stuff but I dont think I got rid of the books, so I will send J up into the loft to see if he can find them , I have been printing off some insets and was able to add my own words and verses, until the flippin ink ran out, so now I have to wait for D to see if she has any.... watch this space.... btw, have you put your pics on yet, you know i love to see them...I will send you some of my card pics....

love Jean xx

Hi Jan, I am sure you are enjoying your time with the little one, taking lots of photos too no doubt?

Jean I have a booklet called Just a Word which is a great help with cards. Some of the verses are trashy but i adapt them a bit.

I seem to remember that Ninja Lady became very busy with something, was it quilting. Sad really as she was a great contributor. And, yes, where did Christina go?

Morning all, I was just wondering if Ninja Lady was still on g.r. we dont seem to have heard from her for a while.also Christina who popped on briefly, it would be nice to hear from anyone else too....
I managed to get a new storage trolley it is great, five deep drawers, now a ot of my stuff is in them , much easier to see where various stuff is, I made a few more cards, I am trying to do a selection to cover all types, what I need to find now is suitable verses for them I am waiting for a c.d. to come with many verses on, it was held up because of Easter, in fact several other things were so hopefully they will start to arrive soon....I love getting parcels, must be the kid in me.....lol....

Hi Jean
am loving making them - had a little trip to the Mall today and popped into hobbycraft, Hubby treated me to another 10 promarkers (and various others bits) - Am vey into Magnolia Tilda at the mo and using lots of diff colours and shades (some have been real bad but am getting there), and real proud of some of my cards
:-)))

Happy Birthday Sarah, hope it was a good one for you...
I have been making cards again , I promised to fill a box for sale at chuch, so I now have a reason to make them ... I dont send many cards , but so wanted to start doing them again, you could say prayers answered...lol....

Where are you all?
have done a few cards and a couple more pages on a scrapbook this week so quite pleased with myself.
Was sent quite a few digi stamps from a friend and am absolutly loving using the promarkers and turning them into cards , there very cute
Hope everyone is ok
:-))

Ohhhh Jean I dont think that was it BUT thats lovely I must add that too my ever growing want list *wonders if Daff has seen it am sure she will need some too*
I actually used my crop-a-dile today , well I tried one out lol

Scatty was it like mesh with lumps of white on it, if so I have that I did my christmas cards with it ......its on the craft sites called splatter mesh....

Lol Sarah
It looked almost see through with bits in that looked bigger than gitter
do you think I may of dreamt it?? lol

Sort of glittery but not glitter - you've got me there Scatty!
If it was flat you can get pens that give a bit of sparkle without being really glittery. If it was dimensional it could have been heat embossed I suppose. Or there is always flock... I'm not sure I should be answering this if you only want it just in case LOL

Ginnie
I sooooo needed to go to the NEC
am only slightly jealous
:-)))

Hi Jean
Thanks for that - to be honest I dont want it for anything but thought next time i was in a craft shop would get some for you know ........just incase lol.
I must try and find the example again
:-))))
