Good Afternoon Ladies

Just a quickie, does anyone have the tutorial link for the lovely pocket fold cards that have been done lately?

Thanks

Hels102 - Glad you are feeling better today.
Yes, apart from the gold stars & line. I make so many mistakes when I hand craft things 'cos I'm ham fisted I prefer using pc - also I think little ones don't really appreciate lots of fancy so I went for the bold approach. I got a free poster with the 'Thomas' stuff on it, scanned it, then sent the poster to gt nephew.
If you pm me your sons name & age I'll have a go at making him one the same or I can email you some pics if you want to have a go yourself. Haven't forgotten your stamps - just not remembered to take your address with me.

Sorry furrypig only just saw your post. It's on the 26th/27th september and you can buy the tickets cheaper in advance here. List of exhibitors here.

Can't wait - will be my 3rd time this time and for once I actually have a list! (and not enough money! )

I'm contemplating a trip down south for this too. Is it worth a 3-4 hour drive?

Thanks a million, that's exactly the one I was looking for.

By the way, those were fab notebooks you made for the teachers, can I ask did you cover the inside of the notebook too, or just the front of it??

Thankyou I didn't cover the insides just folded the edges over neatly and stuck down with strong double sided tape.

Hello Everyone

I wondered - if money were no object, would you purchase a Cricut machine??

Personally nope - I watched a demo on create and craft last week and it looked great but not for me .
Give me a bug any day plus unlimited money to buy all the dies embossing folders and nesties

I've borrowed my friends cricut expression a couple of times and if money were truly no object then yes I would.
I've considered saving up to buy one but the cartridges are quite expensive. That said - because the size you're cutting out is variable then you do get a lot of variation for your money.
