Flourgirl - I was just having a look at those stamps that you are after and they are lovely!! I was having a little search for them myself and found a forum where a lot of UK crafters had said they just bought them direct from their swedish site. The site takes paypal so you can always check how much you have spent before you confirm payment. I don't know if I dare have a closer look in case I end up buying something!!!

Mumhug - maybe your OH will be after something for himself soon - so then you can bargain for your cuttlebug if he gets what he's after!!

Oh Mumhug what a shame I'll cuttle some stuff for you if you want though I'm more prone to bu**** things up!!!

I've just had to get DH to sort out my threading water punch - I thought I'd broken it by putting a double thickness of card in it! Not only did he fix it but also explained, patiently, how it had managed to jam up. He's in credit! Sadly the card which I'd almost finished is damaged beyond repair:mad:

Mrs Tidge Your space card is fantastic Good Luck with your starlight walk.

Rusty I was in a craft shop yesterday & they were saying that the stamped image of the bear on the magazine I think you've got looks a bit rude I couldn't see properly but check it out before you put in on a card just in case. Hope I'm wrong & it was their minds!

Hullo ladies it has taken me hours to catch up with all the posts from Wednesday to today!
So sorry I can't do any individual comments as I can't remember anything!!

Lots of good tips and great cards as per usual.

Does the fantasy card end this monday as I haven't done it yet???

Flourgirl I'm glad you liked your pink card. I got my card from you today it was lovely thanks will put a picture on crafty place later.

I ordered so promarkers after lots of changing my mind with what colours to buy. Also ordered some basic grey stamps and some flowers can't wait for it to all arrive now.

rusty the papermill at Royal Quays sounds fab. I will have to have a trip there - will have to go through the tunnel won't I - or can I go round like you do when you come here:rotfl: sounds like you got some fab stuff. your two boxes are fairly full though so you will soon need a third!!!

flourgirl fab anniversary cards - I love the colours:T did you buy a cuttlebug? I succumbed and ordered one earlier today. do you think they have noticed their sales of cuttlebugs have increased?!
