OOh dawnteabag i bought my grandaughter a cuttlekids for christmas it's fab and keeps her hands off the bug . Added bonus is all the dies fit in the bug too. The fairy alphabet is great. I bought loads of dies for hers on ebay from a seller in the us .

Thanks for the info Trisha - that's the reason I've bought my son one too. It's not brand new - I'm buying it off a lady on ukscrappers. Its coming with some kids dies including an alphabet + an x cut alphabet for me too.
Don's suppose my boy will be that interested in fairy alphabets but the dies she's sending are transport and robots so that will suit him down to the ground. Can you emboss with the cuttlekids? Was wondering whether to buy him a couple of disney folders too.

She has the transport ones too she loves the 4 x 4 lol. I haven't tried embossing with it but the folders for the bug wouldn't fit the plates are only half as wide as the bug ones. Quite a few of the impress dies work on it or they did for us so their embossing ones should fit.

Am i too late for this weeks challenge? Here is my card anyway. I had done one before for my neice so just did the same. She is a rock fairy.



After such a hetic last week i am chilling a bit this week. I have started to get a bit of nausea I can't believe it as i haven't had anything before now and i am 15 weeks.
I love that challenge rusty, I might join if i feel ok. i have an idea for it, nothing thrilling but we will see.

Morning ladies,

Louby Lou Lou I love the rock fairy, she is so cool.

Gemm, yes they are brads on my pocket card. It just needed a little something!

Dawnteabag - I posted your stash yesterday. I just got an email to say my bug is arriving today - yay! Good jo I'm working from home this morning - hope it comes before I have to go in. I won't be able to get my hands on it until the weekend unfortunately though.

Debsy - welcome back. Hope you had a good time and got some good bargains. Now get some rest!

npsmama, glad to hear things may be calming down for you. Make sure you take of yourself as well as everone else.

Right - off to get on with some more work!

Have a great day everyone.

Morning everyone,
fab card Louby
I've put a new card on my blog for my Nan http://helsbelswork.blogspot.com

I've also been looking at the cropodiles but can't decide if I actually need one or not, any experiences? or good offers about?!

Hels, it's one of those pieces of equipment that you think you cannot live with out and you buy it. Mine has been sitting with me for some time now, since they brought out the pink one in a box with loads of eyelets thingies. I use it now and again for making holes for ribbon etc which is brilliant, shop around for the best price or deal or look for someone selling on on UKS www.ukscrappers.co.uk in the 'market place.

Mornin' everyone, I hope it's a sunny day where you are, the Essex backwaters are looking good!

If anyone on MSE loves 'Forever Friends' please pm me as I put some 6 x 6 papers up on the Craft Place as a RAK. I'd be happy to send them to you, nixiepoo's, gratis, free and all that. My grandchildren are now too old for them.

THE-WIFE_3

Happy to send them, Louby. Forgive me, I thought I had posted a picture in the Crafty Place (I know I darn well took it!) I'll send it over tonight.
