I 'did' or 'tried to do' yesterday which is why I'm doing the stressing today as I'm rubbish :rotfl:... I need a craft buddy.. little Myz tries but she's only 4 and has *the* most weird ideas :rotfl:

Lovely pages on your blog... I must admit I really love the newer one more.. I think that's what most of mine will look like for 'personal' books. It gives the impression of *fun* if you see what i mean... which is what the page was all about I think

I'm sure they were not that bad! (4 year old have a tendancy to stick AS MUCH as possible on to one sheet of paper!!) Did you post pictures of them for us to see? We can be your virtual crafty buddies

Myz have you seen these they might fit the bill you get papers and some other stuff i've been fighting with myself not to buy them for ages lol

or i just had an email about these

Rainmac - Thanks for those links - I've got some beer mats lying around and I bought a pack of those calendars weeks ago, but they're still in their packet!

Jailhousebabe - thanks, I also have trouble with forever friends stamps - I never know what colour to use on the bears!

Myzdamena - have you bought any papers yet for your scrapbooks, if not it might be worth getting yourself a kit that has all the bits you need. If you're interested I'll give you some links to some so that you can see what I mean - what sort of "feel" were you going for - was it vintage or modern etc????? There's a few scrapbooking hours on qvc today - might be worth watching to give you some ideas!

Polly - I've hardly watched any of qvc - I've taped it though, I was hoping to catch the k and co hours but the kids are monoploising the tv now!!!

Craftygranny - crikey that's a lot of papermania paper for 17 quid - I'm quite tempted I've never bought any of their paper before - is it worth it????

Jamtart - your layouts are fabulous - I love your colours on your great barrier reef one.

No not yet.... but craftygranny came up with 2 ideas that look great and would do for both...I think maybe not Smirk-style if you know what I mean, she is 90 and don't want to give her a heart attack lol

As for QVC been going goggle eyed watching create and craft all morning and laughing at the presenters... Little Myz and I do like to have a little titter and a live-presenter watch sometimes as it's so funny :rotfl:

Melissa i have quite a few papermania ones and they are nice but the quality isn't the same as basic grey . I would say they are a bit thinner but they look great i use a lot of them.

I tend to buy loads when they are cheap to make cards for the school to sell and my o/h mum to sell as she sells them for guide dogs as she is blind.

Myz i'm really tempted by the 2 packs as you get pastel and vintage and you get other things in the packs as well as papers . The vintage would be great for your nan i reckon and pastel are so versatile you can use them for anything lol.

Just posted a packet to you so watch for the postie myz

That papermania stash is great value for money - I have quite a bit of it and it's great if you're starting out but if you have a Basic Grey addiction you might find it a bit flat.

Great range of colours and designs - I use lots of it as I don't have to cut up my "best" stuff then.

Check the craftsuperstore sale page as a lot of those papers are reduced - 6x6 99p!
