Rusty - I think it was either npsmama or furrypig (sorry - I can't bear to go back through all the posts again!) who suggested that we give you an honorary entry for this challenge. I'm sure everyone will understand with what you've been through in the last couple of weeks, so if no-one objects your name will go in the hat.

Does anyone have a fiskars shape cutter?? I have just seen dawn bibby using one ... it looks impressive .... but is it actually as impressive as it looks?

I saw that too, she made it look so easy. I must admit I've got the previous model to the one she showed and I couldn't get it to work properly. I found it ripped the pages so if you do try it (Rainmac) make sure you practice on rough paper first. When I used it I didn't use the Fiskars cutting mat - although I've got one - so I am going to try that next time. Also, the depth & direction of the blade seems to be important, maybe thats where I was going wrong...? Or maybe that's why they bought out a new, better model? I do not need it, I do not need it, I do not...

I had the old Fiskars shape cutter and couldn't get on with it - put it down to being left handed in the end as my right handed friend had no trouble with hers.

I sold it on ebay in the end

I am trying to log in ... I have been all morning but when I log in it shouts at me and that magician sits there looking all smug :mad:!

Could you be so kind as to tell me what my username is please? i.e is it RustyFlange like that or rustyflange? I might just have to try and rejoin or something!

Awww thankyou, now you have mentioned it I do seem to remember someone saying something like that! (sorry things are just a blur at the minute!) I am desperate to get back into my card making but I just can't be bothered ... I tell you though they say it is terrible 2's ... jee whizz Maddison woke up on the morning of her birthday with the worst temper in the world!!! ... I can't see where it has come from, she had it bad before but now !! whoosh! I am running around after her this morning as I have to get a sample for the docs as I think she has an infection ... but this little madam refuses to use her potty even though we have sat and stuck pooh stickers all over it!! I feel like I am fighting a losing battle! :rotfl:

I think craft beautiful are offering one (shape cutter) as a subscription offer tog with a fiskars punch & a cutting thingy £9.99 for 3 issues.

https://secure3.subscribeonline.co.uk/esubscriber/offers.sol?mag=ACECRB&cmp=CRB0609

I'm still!! thinking of going for it but I bet they make me pay for a whole year up front. I think someone on here got a subscription a bit back, sorry, can't remember who? If you read can you let me know if they want a years money now?

Rusty - Yes, you were given an 'honoury' entry 'cos we know if you'd had time you would have been in.

My entry is still in bits on the desk! Sorry JHB - glad you're back - hope things are now better for you.

Hels102 - need your address to send the blog candy

I was really impressed with it to be honest, I am so knackered today though ... it was 2:30 before I went to bed lol .... I think I need to wait and see if they do them as cheap at the craft show, although there are a couple on ebay finishing in about 4 days which have no bids and are 99p starters .... we will see...
