My 1st Attempt @ Card Making :)

Well how is all in blogland today, seems like everyone has snow, apart from me, there is freezing fog outside and my college was cancelled today. It is very very cold but again tonight I'm snuggled at the fire with my cup of tea :) This evening I started a new cross stitch pattern which is progressing very very slowly. Then I  looked through lots of my magazine for interiors for my inspiration booklet. If you have a home interiors book of your own full of inspiration I'd love if you'd share it with us on your blog, let me know if you have :) I then started my card making, here are some photos of them, they look a wee bit amateurish but it was my first attempt. It is so simple ain't it and cheap too by recycling all the old cards. Sorry the photographs aren't great.

Suki is indoors all day keeping warm here she is half asleep on the arm cover of the chair. She is generally not allowed on the chair, bold kitty!!! She never opens her eyes for photos either!

  9. Great first cards! Most buttons and things will fit - just don't make them stand too high off the cards. I'll have a problem posting the shooting stars one here - http://crafty-mermaid.blogspot.com/2009/12/shooting-stars.html - but it'll be in a box with my brother's present so should be ok. The others should be fine and the dog sticker at the end of that post easily sticks out the height of a button. So my advice is - give it a go - you'll do great!
