dragonllew - lovely makes your wallet is fab!! Aimees card is gorgeous big round of applause to her!

Can I just ask what do you find best sticks buttons to cards are sticky pads strong enough??

lol

re the buttons, I use the larger size of stiki dots, either that or PVA glue. Sticky pads would be strong enough I reckon, it just depends whether you want them standing up off the card a lot as buttons are quite thick to start off anyway

I like collecting the same colour too!!!

I use sticky dots for buttons, tend to buy them from Hobbycraft when they are on offer at £1.49 a box, they come in different sizes to stick different sized things.

Dragonllew, your cards are fantastic, love Aimee's card x

No haven't seen them, will have a look later. I do have a dino stamp and some dino digi images somewhere. I hadn't thought of trying to colour in Paint - thanks ladies, I am pretty sure I would be rubbish but may ask OH if he could have a go

Playing catch up on posts but just a thought could you not colour one image in if you have digi stamp image and then scan it in and copy it however many times you need it

I saw someone mention the craft show at Harrogate can anyone tell me when it is and/or share a link for it not having much luck finding it. Is it any good.

Sorry not been around much lately seem to have lost the craft mojo what with one thing and another since Christmas. The past few weeks have not been good for me. I don't know if you remember me posting about my friend finding out she was expecting twins in June well sadly she lost them a couple of weeks ago and it was there funeral today. in between had Dad's birthday and the anniversary of losing him two years ago so just seem to have been miserable one way or the other for about a month.

I want a craft room and have had a quote for the little bedroom to be made in to one with shelving and worktop all around. £455 ouch so trying to work out how to afford it. Now hubby is due a bonus in a couple of weeks but the gas bill has arrived as well. Am trying to persuade him to lend me the money and I will pay him back but not sure he believes me - can't think why lol
