A question about : Scrapbooking thread

Hi, at the minute I make greeting cards and I want to get into scrapbooking. I thought it would be nice to have a thread similar to the card making one where people can share bargains, tips and photos of their work. As a complete novice I could do with a bit of advice and inspiration. I was thinking of subscribing to scrapbook inspirations magazine as you get a free gift. I wondered if the magazine was any good, and whether this was worth doing?

A question about : Getting a bit arts and crafty...

Hi!

Bit of a random one…. But I'm thinking of getting in to arts and crafts but I've never done this before so I wouldn't know where the best place is to get a good deal. Does anyone have any tips for a beginner who wants to create quality items to give as gifts to family yet without breaking the bank?

Thanks

P.S. Wasn't sure where to post this so please move if in the wrong place?!

I've volunteered to make my younger brothers birthday cake as my mam and dad prefer home made...I'm fine at making a standard victoria sponge and icing cupcakes but never attempted a themed large cake. He asked for a Liverpool shirt. How do I go about making the shape and icing? Any tips or advice? Xx

A question about : Cake pop decs

Hi all,

Very random question, but I've been googling all night with no luck.

I'm going to be making some cake pops which look like little people and I'd like to use some pre-made mouths and baseball caps to decorate the faces. Ideally they would be icing or candy like the little eyes you can buy but happy to consider alternatives e.g. chocolate.

Does anyone have any ideas where I might try?

Thanks for your help,
Sam

A question about : 13 Projects in 2013 (cross stitch, knitting, paper crafts etc.)

Hi everyone, this was an idea we had on the cross stitch thread last year, but after discussing it we decided that it would be a good idea to include other crafts as many of us in that thread did other crafts too.

The idea basically is to complete 13 projects in 2013. These projects can be cross stitch, cards, jewellery, knitting, anything that you make really!
You can also 'carry over' projects from the previous year, so any WIP's can count!
