Hi all has anyone ordered from mad about cards before I am thinking about buying myself an x-cut impress, but their delivery times seem to be quite long.Any opions or advice (on site or x-cut) greatly appreciated.

Hi just wanted to say I have used them and thought they were really good and efficient unlike artymiss who I used once but will never use again (unless I thought it was an excellent bargain I couldn't live without!!)

wow I have just caught up on the last few pages and there is so much info I'm gonna have to re read them when i'm back home!! Some really fab cards there!!
Saveapenny just wanted to say I have not managed to go craft shopping at all here in orlando so have no Disney chipboard/embellishments. Do you still want me to look for you?? Still not sure exactly what you want style and colourwise?? Bought some Disney scrapbook papers so might be something there that suits you, do let me know as I will try and look when I am on the coast.

must go to bed!! tired as have been wondering around Disney places all day!!

Hello crafty girls.

Another online craft shop bites the dust - think melissa has recommended this one in the past

http://www.carolinezcraftz.co.uk/catalog/index.php

60% off everything if you use the code on the front page. There was a post about yesterday from caoline that said there was a free geift if you quoted the code 'EXPERT' in the additonal info section. Can't find it now though.

Paypal accepted - damn - there goes all my hard earned ebay cash!

I ordered some things from there too:eek: I think the post was deleted as I saw it then it disappeared.

marg your pram card is great. I love the colour of the pram and the background paper.

Thanks furry it was the delivery that worried me I am not good at waiting lolol. I ordered 3 days ago and it still says awaiting packing:eek:
Enjoy the rest of your hols i showed my dd your pics and she says you are sooooooooo lucky (she is dolphin obsessed):rotfl:

Thank you for nice comments about my card - it looks better in the pic than 'real life' because of my poor cutting ~ note to self ~ must get some dies for cuttlebug!!

St Chris - just depends what & where the image is!!!

If it's a computer image ~ This is how I do it.....click on it and when/if the 'box' appears round it, rt click on (usually) the bottom rt hand corner hold and press the shift key at the same time & drag your mouse to the size you want. Make sure you have a spare copy before you start just in case!!!

If anyone knows a better way please tell....Thank you!

Furrypig - hope you're having a great time, I wish I was there.

Dawnteabag - I've ordered from carolinezcraftz once before, she was a bit slow on delivery but said she had had a problem with her emails, so she sent me a free gift with my order to say sorry. I think the postage is about 5 quid at the minute because of the sale.

Marg - beautiful pram card, I love the yellow!
