Newbie First Post :)

Inspired by a crafter on the MSE forums, I've decided to try my hand at card making. Though I have a fairly well stocked basic craft kit, the concept of making 'proper' cards is completely new to me and I'm really eager to get started. 


I've signed up for a three month subscription to Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine, which I hope will arrive soon with 25 free Promarker pens. For now, I will have to make do with what I have around the house....


My priority project is to finish my wedding invitations (23rd June - not long to go!) and I hope to be able to post some photographs of those within the next couple of weeks.


Far more familiar to me is the art of baking and sugarcraft. I have been baking for at least 15 years and discovered sugarcraft about 2 years ago. I have a batch of chocolate cupcakes in the oven right now as part of a commission for a 40th birthday. Will post photographs as soon as possible.


In the meantime, if you'd like to take a peep at the blog of the person that's inspired me to start this, flying fresian, you can find it here


Thank you FF, and thank you all for visiting.
