If I could, I would..... Thank Everyone for 10,000 Page Views!

..... But I don't know who you are. Oh well.

So,Yes. Last night, I went to sleep, and awoke to find that the toll had ticked over just enough...
This, is mainly due to CraftGawker, an absolutely brilliant site to drool over amazing art and gorgeous craft projects.

So, Here are the posts you, the viewers have been loving the most:

 I would once again like to say Thank you. I know my blog isn't like others... I don't advertise, I don't want to make money from it. It makes me feel like I've got someone to share my journey with, no matter where it's going. You don't know it,but I had a rough time back in Autumn last year. The development of this blog, and the way it has changed,and changed me, I owe entirely to those little ticking pageview numbers.

Thank you

DIY: 5 Minute Thank You


Sometimes, you don't have that much time, and you need to make a card. Fast. This doesn't have to be a Thank You Card, the greeting and colours are interchangeable. I just needed a card to give to my biology teacher, who I would have seen in approximately 3 hours, and I had to leave for school in 10 minutes. 5 minutes to make, 5 minutes to scribble something down in  the back....

This is what I came up with.

Supplies: Card of choice in 2 colours; Co-ordinating ribbon and button; Peel-off  Lines; Greeting.

Equipment: Glue, Tape, Scissors



~Start by making a card blank from your base colour (this should be the one that co-ordinates with the button and ribbon). I choose for mine to be an A6 card (an A5 piece of card in half horizontally).

~Across the centre of the card, parrallel to the fold, position a line peel-off.

~ Cut a smaller card strip from the alternative card. Make sure there is room for your greeting and your button.

~Cut an inch section off of the ribbon and fold it vertically. Cut an inverted triangle towards the fold to create the pennant shape when opened.

~ Using the tape, adhere to the back of the alternate card, positioned to one side.

~Flip the card so that the rough ribbon is at the back, and attach the button above it. On its other side, place your greeting.

~Glue the alternate card to the centre of the card blank, along the horizontal line.


And, Tada! I know it seems like a lot of steps, but it's very simple, and quite effective. If you ever make a card like this following my instructions, please comment and link to tell me.

Toodle Pip!
