Skiergirl Maybe I should just stick to Meadowhall. I think Manchester is a bit too far from Doncaster, cant expect DH to drive all that way and be dragged round the shops!! lol Thankyou for your kind comments on my cards

louby - lovely stuff..............super colours you've used.
The bookmarks.............how do you make them ? I'm sure I saw it on here but can't remember
Do you stick paper onto thick card ? Might have a go at some of those.

Finished my friends little scrapbook.........now all tied up with ribbon.........and almost finished her door hanger..........might do one for another friend as well.

Sally, your cards are perfect to me, sometimes you can 'overegg the pudding', it all comes down to us all being our own worst critics. I love simple cards.

Evening all, - happy birthday to Kaitlyn - loving the hat:T
As usual fantastic cards on all the blogs I've visited - Rainmac - what a lovely card for a new granny!
I've been reading with interest about the posts about the nesties - as a relative newbie to card making but totally addicted - thinking of bigger and better things to get esp. near to christmas as Santa may be watching/listening!!. Is a cuttlebug the same as a sizzix?? When I was at Harrogate the chap from craft bug let me have a go at the sizzix and was quite impressed at what can be done - but most of you seem to have the cuttlebug - knowing what you know would you stick with the cuttlebug and does it do all the things a sizzix does?
Finally - would it be silly to get one now - do you think I should wait until more experienced

Mary, I have made one bookmark so far (more in the pipeline ) and all I did was cut a thick strip of card, covered one side with patterned paper and added an image that was free off the internet that I'd coloured in. I punched a hole in the top and threaded through a bit of garden string to give it a rustic look. Was very easy and lovely to make something different, you should give one a try
