Ideas for cards.....

I have been thinking and have just come up with an idea for a little girl card by looking at an ornament I bought in Sweden. It's a sort of rag doll with Valkommen written over the top.

Give me some ideas girls, I am running out of them. I don't want pics, just visions of things.

Was thinking about a bunch of 3D grapes for a get well card that type of thing.

Are you making the cards on spec, or for someone specific? If you know the person, can you think about them, and design a card with their interests on it?

Nah, it's just that I find I make better cards if someone says they want something specific. If I sit there and just want to make a card, just lately I am drawing a blank. Recently with the ice skating & handbag ones, they were great fun, but I was asked to do them. So I just thought that if I could get some ideas I could sort of make them.

How about a range of Funky Foam ones for kids - animals, dinosaurs etc. I love doing funky foam ones although not done any for a bit.

I know what you mean though - I just decide to make something, get all my stuff out & just look at it. Then put it away again without having made anything
