I really really want some does anyone know where I can get some for a reasonable price?

Cheapest is probably direct from letreset themselves, unless someone happens to have them on special. www.letraset.com . Just need to make sure that you get some skin colored ones if going to be using tildas etc.

The coffee card is my May card swap with friends in the US and the second is a birthday card is for another swapper or is it swappee?????? I got the Laura Ashley papers out and I thought it went well with the big flower.

These cards are beautiful, my favourite is the flower one too!

my OH is exactly the same saveapenny, if it were left up to him we'd never go anywhere as he just cant make the decision, always finds something wrong with my suggestions but never comes up with anything better!

we're off to dubai in may, just over 2 weeks to go now I can't wait. he hated egypt cause of the heat, I'm hoping he wont realise its probably going to be hotter in dubai....!! :rotfl:

Thanks for the feedback guys...the card is destined for a swap and I was feeling really bad that it didn't look good.

The Wife - I love those cards - especially the 2nd one. Was the big flower pre-made or did you make it?

I've had guests almost constantly for the past 3 weeks and although it's been nice I haven't had much time to craft so I'm looking forward to some more craft time...once I clean up the house and catch up on laundry!!:p

cgcockcroft - did you buy anything at the show??
Jailhousebabe - fabulous card, I love the colours, and the hanging beads look great.
Hamish - I wondered if they were promarkers. I really can't get on with my whispers pens so yesterday I ordered 10 promarkers. I'm now wondering whether that's enough!!!

yes thanks, some already cut out black cats and different sized black and white flowers to layer up with. from the same stall i got some cards with shapes cut out, and some shiny thin plastic sheets with lots of holes cut out of, to weave ribbon in. you then put it behind the cut out and it shows through. it looked good but i'm waiting for my friend to come over as she got some and we are going to try them together.
a paper nation reduced stamp- girl in dress with cocktail
a die cut sheet from lilli of the valley- cartoon cats
and some black and white backing sheets.

there was so much there it was quite overwhelming. i thought it would be more suppliers/ makers but was shops from the surrounding areas.

what are the other shows like do they have suppliers or are they all craft shops? the problem we found was that the prices for the same thing- stickles glitter glue was a different price on each stall which was annoying for my friend.
i'm quite looking forward to the show at harrogate has anyone else been there or to any big show around yorkshire?
sorry it's really bitty!
