Making cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (part 2)

EmmaOC

Marg, Flourgirl and The Wife - I think you should all contact the BBC and see if you can be one of the diners on his Saturday Kitchen programme. That way we can all watch you swoon, with tea-towels at the ready !

Melissa - They are lovely stamps, I have been looking at digi-stamps from America and they are quite a bit dearer which I don't understand. The ones here are around a £1 and the ones there are $6 !!!

Kim-Possible - Lovely card, I am now following your blog. Apologies for not joining before x

Rainmac - I am happy to wait, anything in the post that does not resemble a bill is always welcomed with very big open arms :rotfl:

Dawnteabag - Your scrapbook is amazing - well done :T

Saveapenny - Glad you had a nice holiday - it sounds wonderful

Gemm - Thanks for asking about OH, he is having a nice normalisation week which will rapidly turn into a non-normalisation week when he is home later tonight :rotfl:

I think I deserve a medal sometimes - I am typing this with a baby bouncing on my lap sucking my arm and a 3 year old who also wants to type :eek:

Right, I'm off to blogland now.

Emma sounds like a good idea, I just remembered he owes me 60p for a packet of my lemon shortbread he used in a cookery demo Maybe not, we sound like 3 old maids having a mid-life crisis I feel a hot flush coming on just thinking about him. Must behave myself now..... slap on the wrist......

I have questions for my fellow cuttlebugglers......

Is it normal for the plastic plates to warp as you use them? Admittedly, mine has taken a bit of a hammering the last couple of days. My boy is obsessed (I think buying that cuttlekids might have been the best idea I've had for a while - just a shame we have to wait for his birthday in September.
Also, I was shocked by how small the dies were 0 i bought the flowers ones and the biggest is only about and inch or so across. I was going to buy the circles dies but am now having second thoughts. Does anyone have the funky circle frames die? What size is the middle circel on that one?

the dies for the bug are normally 2x2 which seems to be the norm for a few of the cutting machines, If you are looking for something bigger then you could buy some nestabilities? they are cheap on ebay and really easy to use I love my nesties.

your scrapbook is beautiful, I bet your nan will love it.


Melissa - Ooooh them stamps are beautiful!!! maybe that should be my 1 stamp a week next week ... where did you see them??

Saveapenny - lovely to have you back, glad you had a fab time

I can't believe Michael Jackson is dead? :eek::eek::eek: I really didn't believe you all and had to put on sky news!!! I had no idea about Farrah fawcett either! I got a txt from my mum this morning about her ... for those who don't know she was the original Charlies Angel

I am not sure if I have missed anyone?? sorry if I have?

Marg - thanks for the link - now I know who you're talking about, he doesn't do much for me I'm afraid.
Rusty / Emma - I spotted those stamps a few days ago and have been trying to find places that stock them. I caved in and ordered some last night - I ended up getting them from their own USA site. The stamps were a bit cheaper if you opt for the unmounted ones, I'll have to buy some cling stuff so they stick to my acrylic blocks now. I spent about 30 quid (including postage) and bought 8 stamps (I think!!). Here's a link to their site - there's so much choice:
