    Saucy - there's nothing really that I can think of that you could substitute for the acrylic - have you tried looking on ebay - I bought some cheap sheets from there ages ago, (I've never used them though - I'm too scared!)

    Just quickly anyone have any idea's how to stick rinetones/card candy I'm about to buy some but I don't think I want to use sticky glue and alot of micro dots are expensive!

    also is 500 brads for £6 expensive?

    I use foam squares for sticking card candy, you can buy these in Poundland or most cheap shops, you usually get a roll and a few packets of ready cut oblongs which you just cut down to the right size for what you need. As for gems I use glue dots its just easier for me.

    I think thats expensive for brads unless they are fancy ones, but then its ages since I bought any. So no use there am I? sorry x
  • Ooh, my TSV arrived this morning. I'm still wading through the aftermath of the PTA crafting so can't play with them yet!

    CGC - enjoy the big apple

    Lyndach - you could use pva glue to stick the rhinestones - just use a cocktail stick to apply it.
