Those are lovely Eileen,, I bet it saves you a fortune, the price of cards now, and also gives you something to do in the winter time.

Ah, those are lovely! I particularly like the little touch of the matching envelope.
I also like the "have just selected a few". A few?! 
Do you sell them to shopkeepers with an eye for what will do well, or do they just go to priviledged friends & relatives?

I've never thought of selling them Pauline. I just make them for myself so that I have a stock of different cards. They are sooo expensive in the shops
these days so why pay out £££'s when I can make them for pennies?!!
Here's one more that I just made a couple of days ago. It's actually just a flat card like the rest but made up to look like a book.

Oh, Eileen, good for you! They are just lovely!
If you're feeling ambitious, I would definitely put them in stores. They're certainly good enough and selling a few, would offset the cost of your hobby. A card, handmade like that, is really something special.

I'd buy a couple from you, if you could personalise them with people's names perhaps? Do let me know what you think.
Of course, you could put some in auctions (I know what Pauline was winking about) I bet they'd go like hot cakes.

Thanks for all your encouraging comments - it's nice to get others opinions.
Rosie I get most of my stuff for making cards from the net - there's loads of stuff out there that's suitable for card making. Other bits and pieces I take from CD's I've been given by my family. I've just been presented with another two from my eldest son.  They're Papercrafts (Robert Addams) 'Roses' and 'Goes
East' and I'm dying to try them out as soon as I get a new printer that is!! Here's their website if it's of any use to you: www.papercrafts.co.uk.

Have you seen any of Joanna Sheen's work? I stumbled across her website & forum recently, picking up lots of tips there as well as drooling at stuff in her online shop!
