Thank you x

Is it one of these mags? http://www.cardmakingandpapercraft.com/

What do you call those sheets with words or pictures on that are gold or silver and are not completely flat and you peel them off and stick them on cards? (clear as mud?!) I don't what they are called so cannot search for them :rotfl:

I think they are called peel off's.

I have added todays craft to my blog, my son helped me make them and will be thrilled to see your comments as it would make his day, he is going through a phase of needing loads of compliments to encourage him, but he is now a cuttlebug addict.

sunrise I can see in these pics that you have those trays that clip onto the legs of those tables, where did you get them from as I'd love some to put onto mine, you can never have enough craft storage :rotfl:

nannyboo there are some pics of my craft room here. as you may be able to tell, I love pink

this is a fab blog for inspirational storage ideas!

Thank you for those although not sure hubby will be impressed when I get started lol. Trouble is I promised him it would still be usable as a spare room but I have other ideas which these blogs have just fuelled.

That's the bunny - I got mine on a 3 issues delivered for £1 offer - not sure if it's still on though.
If you have a printer you can just type sentiments like happy christmas into word in various sizes and print them off and cut them out - they are peeloffs as someone else has already said

Scroll down on here loads of free xmas papers

Long time lurker rarely a poster as feel I don't really have anything to add as do not have a crafty bone in my body!:o

But I made my 'save the date' cards for my wedding a couple of years ago and have used kits before and enjoyed it and thought I would like to make my christmas cards this year.

I have no imagination but have had the silly idea of trying to make my own christmas cards this year.

I would like them to be:

Flat so no extra postage as have a lot to post.
Cheapish as on a limited budget.
Not needing fancy tools like you guys have, and I lust over, like cuttlebugs and stuff.

So basically, I would like the moon on a stick, can anyone suggest anything?
Thank you x

only advice I have is go for it. A visit to your local Docrafts stockist as they are reasonable price and have fun. Years ago I ran a guide company and had to get people in to craft am still not brilliant but have sold occasional cards

My OH offered to let me have the spare room as a craft room but said he would only let me in there for half an hour at a time or he would never see me - I'm sticking to the dining room table :rotfl::rotfl:

Peel offs are the sheets of words, etc that you could be thinking of. Also you can get Rubs ons that would make flat cards as well.

My hubby loves it when I craft as he gets to watch what he wants on TV for a change. The way I may get my room sorted this weekend is Notts Forest are playing on TV on Sunday and if the room is sorted he gets to watch football on big TV and not portable lol
