Oh my...

My Crop-A-dile arrived this morning. I have been utterly riveted (lol) by it, took me a few tries to get it working (Ooh, you have to punch a hole first, do'h) but i've been punching holes all morning. Ordered more stuff this morning, yes after my new box of goodies arrived, its got that bad. Weighed up whether to get Promarkers or watercolour pencils. Decided on watercolour penciles as I was a mad fanatic about watercolour paints as a kid and have a lot of experience with them. Got my blender markers too, even some paintbrushes so i'm all ready to go.
Plus i've got a baby girl of a close friend on the way in the next week or two. I feel a card coming on!

And so it begins...

I've recently fallen head over heals with card making. So, i'm starting this blog to kind of give me the kick in the a**e that I need. I wanna see how I progress and have swore to myself I will update as soon as I put my craft scissors down.

I recently joined http://cardznscrapz.com/store/ and have fallen in love with the whole shops selection. I want to buy EVERYTHING. And i'm sure the lovely girls there will support my habit :D

So. About two weeks ago I made my first purchases from the store, I forget some of the essentials, like glue for instance, but I did buy a lovely Papermania set 'touch of pink'. I wanted to make a birthday card for a dear aunt of mine. Of course, i also forget to buy any birthday supplies >> (I need to write a list of essentials and order them soon)

These are my first two attempts at making some cards.

As you can see I will give nobody a running for their money! But that's what I love about this, mistakes sometimes make a card, and nothing is more personal than a card someone put time and effort into. I hope to be making alot more soon. As soon as Tuesday and my new Crop-A-Dile arrive!!!!

Thanks for reading.
