Thank you gemm - it's one of the free stickers on the current do crafts creativity magazine that had Daisy and Dandelion free on it.

Have never tried rub ons - is that an excuse to shop?

definitely I like rub ons because you can apply them to a background of your choosing without having to have a border or a matt, and they don't have the shine that a sticker has, which sometimes can look strange if none of the rest of the card is shiny...if that makes sense!

you just position them where you want then 'rub' them on the back with a lolly stick, and it's transferred to the card, a bit like temporary tattoo's (remembering from when I was much younger of course.. I had some really dodgy Spice girls ones....oh the shame )

does anyone know where i could get a stamp that says 'Happy Easter'? I've tried 2 shops but neither had any.

the only place I can think of that you'd get one in time for easter sunday is hobbycraft maybe but it would probably be a little on the expensive side...

I have a happy easter stamp and I'd gladly stamp you some messages but I don't think they'd get there by sunday? if it's not that urgent and you'd like me to stamp you some anyway then PM me your address and what colour card you'd like it on and i'll stamp you a load out

hope you get sorted one way or the other!

Thank you for the offer Gemm .

I actually just bought an Easter stamp on ebay a few minutes ago.
