Working on from the Dragonflies which are tiny, I have just learnt that you can preserve leaves in glycerin. Imagine drying one out and putting a tiny dragonfly on it. That would be cool.

Just the leaf and the DF and a nice label........ermm, something for tomorrow I think.

Here is an idea for the dragon fly wings http://mylittlecustoms.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/microsoft-word-angelina-fibre-tutorial.pdf
hope it is useful, I just thought they were really pretty.

Dawnteabag - I don't spend money on nights out, clothes, posh shoes or handbags - my crafting is my one luxury - so I figure that I deserve it, plus I make sure that my brats get spoilt too.
Jailhousebabe - sorry about your order from clever cuts, I'd go down the blackmail route and inform them that you're a member of a very large crafting forum and unless the matter is resolved quickly you will be telling all of the forum members to avoid this company at all costs.

I've had trouble with Clever Cuts in the past, took about 2 months to receive order, it was a nice surprise when it arrived as I'd completely forgotten about it

Mel, I have placed orders with Every Moment Matters - In Stitch'z templates and BG Infuse paper pad and sale papers and A Card 4 U - more sale papers, mini tag album and ribbons. Great prices :T

hello all! I'm new to this board. :hello:

Does anyone know of a tool or punch that can make tiny circles? I want to be able to make some circles in the middle of a card. The punches I've seen can only be used on the edges of the card. I'm sure I must be missing a trick?? :think: I want to start making christmas cards as I always leave it until the last minute and get stressed!

Hello Shorelines & welcome to the thread. I've recently bought a fiskars circle cutter from Hobbycraft (not very MSE) can't remember just how much it was. I THINK just less than £10. It would do what you want but you'd have to practise first!! I've only cut one circle so far! Hope this helps.
