Minimacka - that is absolutely stunning. What papers do you use?

There's a one hour show on qvc at 6pm today - "crafting with k and company", hopefully I'll be able to watch it, (probably online).

Hi Melissa I actually bought a box set from qvc when i first started scrapbooking/card making for £30 I thought it was a lot of money but you got lots of patterned/plain 12 x 12 papers, brads, paper flowers, chipboards ribbons etc and I also subscribed to the next 2 boxes and they have been lovely well worth the money, so all those papers are from them.

Rainmac - the glazed brads are back in stock at the glitter pot, I might get them, I think I've already got the boxer ones (I'll have to check). They are 1.87.

I've seen mention of 'glazed brads' recently, can anyone tell me what exactly they are and how you use them. I've looked them up on glitter pot but can't work out what they are. Want to know if I need them! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Ct19720 - the glazed brad has a sort of ceramic top on it, so its shinyish! Does that make sense, I don't know how else to describe them?

Thanks, do you just stick them onto cards with glue then?

I thought I'd describe what a brad was in case anyone doesn't know. Its the same thing as those brass paper fastener things that you get. You make a hole in your card push the pins through, separate them and then its attached to your card, A lot of people use them to attach flowers to projects, but they look pretty on their own too.
