Thanks! choccie, that's the stuff, Flower Soft, has anyone used it all all? Is it easy? Messy? Good? I was just an idea floating around in the mind :eek:
about usuing it as a snow decoration.

I used it at the last card class I went to. Not messy really. The lady running the class said make sure you decant it into a tub as it is so compacted in the pots and then when you use it make sure you tap the card on the tub so any excess falls back in - much less mess than glitter anyway. The stuff we used is on my blog here. Looks like such a little amount in the pot you get but when you decant it and fluff it out there is absolutely loads.

Hello ladies

Hope everyone is well and those of you who are poorly or who have poorly relatives are getting on ok?

Some lovely cards made by everyone lately!

I have a question for those of you who give boxes of cards as gifts - what kind of box do you put them in, do you gift wrap it or anything? Also, where do you buy your cello envelopes from - especially the square ones?

Thanks!

oooooooooh where is the Range? going to the new forest in August:D

We were in Ringwood so Hobbycraft was only 10 minutes down the road (Longham, Ferndown) and then The Range was about 15/20 minutes away in Bournemouth at a huge retail park with The Range, TKMaxx, Dunelm Mill, Matalan and Wickes (to occupy OH ) x
