welcome back flourgirl, its been quieter without you!!

fab cards on your blog dragonllew, love the fairy one

dawn your craft room looks so great, I love those tidy trays attatched to the legs of your desks, were those from Ikea too?

Yes they were £3.99 each I think - they fit around the leg so can swing out when you use them and tuck back under when not

Hi Ladies,

Haven't had much of a chance to catch up with the thread so briefly flicked through the pages! some beautiful cards as always and some lovely craft room pictures!!

We had a fab time at legoland, DS managed to con a gold badge off one of the staff so we have a free ticket to go back!!! (can be used for adults aswell so will save £37.50!) we are all totally tired, and OH slept through the alarms for work this morning so had the day off today, he left for Aberdeen at 6pm tonight though!!

I still haven't done any crafts I am so rubbish lately!

No problem Gemm, will teach me to read before replying lol. Just thought it may have forced me to craft cause I was going to suggest childrens cards as I have to make 2 for DS's birthday! ....

Please be gentle Gemm, I am desperate to get back into it all and I really am struggling.

Sorry Rainmac for letting you down

Have you looked on websites that sell handmade wedding cards and you could 'use' their ideas ??? Everything I make for Fairytale Wedding Stationery is white or ivory card and smallish coloured embellishments. All designs can be made with any colour embellishments so if you only had 3 designs but 10 colourways, that's like 30 choices. Does that make sense? Does that help at all?

Hiya Rainmac - thankyou that does help! Have actually been looking most of today at different websites that sell handmade wedding stationery but the problem now is all they're ideas are whirring around in my head and there's so many to choose from!! Also, think the sort of things I'd like to do would involve a Cuttlebug!! thats what I'm gonna tell my hubby anyhow!!

Can peeps tell me whats a good price to pay for a Cuttlebug - have found one for sale for £52.** - is that good? seems quite good!!

Hi Popkins re the cuttlebug a few of us on here got ours from here with the 15%off code PC22 I think it still works, you will also get loyalty points + bonus points to spend at a later date. You just need to open an account with them. Their customer service is fab. They also do the embossing folders at a very good price.
