Saveapenny - They are fantastic cards you have been VERY busy - I love the bootees. Thanks for info about the grade of backing paper. Can I ask please - when you cut out the flowers on your cards are they in backing grade paper or card?

Sunrise - very nice idea, tactile cards, these are really pretty.

Craft Central have a new shop at my out of town shopping centre. Weren't they the ones who went bust before Christmas? I got one or two minor bargains - stuff was either 30 or 50% reduced I was in there for ages!

Do you any of you subscribe to any craft magazines?

I really like Papercraft Inspirations and I'm debating on subscribing.

I always get the Docrafts mag when I see it.

I used to subscribe to Papercraft Inspirations a long time ago but got a bit bored so stopped it and haven't subscribed to any others. I tend to pick a magazine up every now and again going by what's in the mags at the time (and what the free gift is ). The most recent one I bought was Quick and Crafty and I thought that was fab, full of ideas for all sorts of things. I do subscribe to 3 cross stitch magazines though.

I was wondering if I'd get bored if I subscribed...perhaps I'll give it a few more months and if I consistently buy the same mag I might subscribe.

My attempt at card making today, tried the pram emblishment mentioned on the thread before:







Any advise on the emblishment?

That's what happened to me. If I had endless money I'd but stacks and stacks of mags every month I do enjoy going into WHS or Tesco and having a browse and buying what takes my fancy.

I agree with Marg...the Fiskar circle cutter is brillaint I love mine and use it all the time. Keep all your scarp of paper and card becuase like Marg said it does that practice to ge it spot on

Does anyone recommend i buy the fiskar circle cutter over the fiskar shape cutter. Can you cut circles with shape cutter?
