I've been enjoying myself (again) with some crafting. Looking around on various blogs of card makers and crafters I get a tad frustrated as there are so many people who have obviously spent huge amounts of dollars/euros/pounds on their crafting supplies - stamps, cuttlebugs (whatever they are!), embossers, heat guns, sparkly bits etc etc. Because it's only a sideline/hobby for me I can't justify spending huge amounts of money on supplies: most of mine come from Noz (discount store) or are reduced Arteis (craft store, a little like Hobbycraft, but a lot smaller). Mum often brings me supplies when she comes too. So I try to make do with the bits I have and my small skill as a calligrapher to make my cards.

Here are some of the cards I've been making today and yesterday[gallery]

As usual my photos aren't very good, but if you click you can see them in a bit more detail.
