Jailhousebabe - congrats on your marks!! I'm not sure about the copics, but that's a really good price for the promarkers. Online they're about 1.80 each - and that's the cheapest that I've found!! In fact they work out at a better price than buying the packs of them!

I found another shop that has the 12inch guillotine for 19.99, postage is 2 quid. I am so very tempted. My new stamps arrived this morning along with my new black ink pad - I need to buy some white card now and I'm waiting for my new batch of promarkers to arrive! I can't advise about the cuttlebug - the only die cutter I've got is the quick squeeze and I never use it.
Kim_possible - I've seen the woodware one and liked the idea of being able to cut with different lines, but I can't justify buying both - aahhh!!!!!

Hi Melissa would you let me know which online shop this was as I went on craft superstore last night spent ages getting all the bargains in my basket went to add the guillotine and it was out of stock so was cross!!

thank you xxx

Mookybar - Welcome to the mad house we are all lovely here really

Some fabulous cards on here and also on the blogs, everyone has been working hard Well done to you all. (sorry I can't remember everyones :eek:)

Melissa - your scrapbook pages are fantastic! you have some amazing papers and know how to use them! I wouldn't dare try to use papers like that but you really know what you are doing with them! well done!

Well I have had a rubbish day today, have been in so much pain that I have struggled to get everything done However something has cheered me up .. I was messing about trying to work out a card for the GREEN challenge and decided to have a play with my first ever stamp and ink pad ... yay I can stamp :j :j :j (just on a bit of scrap card )



Jailhousebabe - Fantastic news on your results, well done you xxx

Brilliant marks Jailhouse! What are you studying?

Thanks npsmama - it's an MSc in International Marketing. I thought it would be a good idea to take redundancy and use the money for a second degree. Of course I didn't think about how difficult it would be to find a job in Marketing when we're in a recession. :rolleyes:

Thanks all for your congrats. I'm not sure if it would ultimately be cheaper, but if anyone wants me to buy markers for them I could post them on in recycled jiffy bags for just the cost of the stamps? Assuming they have the colours you want, of course.

Fab stamping Rusty - I'm so in love with Smirk
Do you use an acrylic block for stamping? I didn't get on very well with them, so bought the Quickutz Rockers - I can't praise them enough, they make stamping so much easier (for me anyway).
