was it a good film? ive been making gift card holders i think im addicted

I loved it, it's quite old fashioned. DS1 liked it as did OH but DS2 (he's nearly 3) got bored and decided to sing, run around, be a general nuisance :rolleyes:

Ooohhh can we see some gift card holder pics pretty please

I made some paperclip bookmarks last night and peg magnets for the lovely craftygranny

Can I ask what machines you find best for card making? I mean like diecut ones? Have seen lots and every time they are on craft tv im very nearly buying just cant seem to make up my mind.
Just thought would ask all you more serious crafters than me, so any good or bad things for me to consider would be very greatful. Thanks!

Haven't got one, poor me :rotfl:

I have a cuttlebug and absolutely love it - I upgraded from a sizzix sidekick last year and haven't regretted it for a minute .

Had a bit of crafting time yesterday so new stuff on my blog

Moaning Minnie here! I'm still playing catch up & feeling sorry for myself with a sore throat but thought I'd tell you all about my trip to what I thought was going to be a craft fair yesterday afternoon. It turned out to be a posh 'Craft Exhibition' with some very expensive beautiful things, ceramics, glass, wood, silver, knitted bowls (I thought of you & your handbags Padster) & fine scarves for £79. There were a few cards but even I thought I could do as good which was quite pleasing.;)

The wife - hope your daughter is OK enjoy your week.

Craftygranny - Hope the parents of the boys who took the pumkin respond appropriately but sadly today it's not the forgone conclusion it used to be is it?

Gingerbiscuit - I've got a cuttlebug & love it.

Jem - I used to make my own card blanks because shop bought ones are really expensive - but the craftwork cards ones are great quality and so cheap that I just can't resist them!!!

Mumhug - how did your party go?

Lei-Armstrong - gorgeous xmas card - your xmas pud looks delicious.

Dragonflew - really delicate christening card - its so pretty!

Paddingtondoo - fantastic cards - my favourite is your muffin one - I love the colours!

Craftygranny - sorry to hear about your stolen pumpkin!

Rainmac - I still haven't got a cuttlebug either, I spend too much already - I don't think my bank could cope with a nestie addiction as I know if I bought a bug I'd have to buy all of them!

I used to have a cuttlebug and sold it last year. Over this year I have SO realised I wasn't using it to it's full potential and want one again now

Thanks for asking Mel it was good the jelly with eyeballs went down well. We played musical monsters, pass the parcel and musical bumps. All the prizes and music was obviously halloween themed and i made brown paper party bags with bats on.
I think the kids enjoyed themselves ( I know i did hehehe)



Craftygranny so sorry to hear about your stolen pumpkin poor Kaitlyn.
I hope the boys get an appropriate reprimand as I think there is no excuse for stealing.



The wife I hope your dd is ok, as for the nec try and console yourself the same way I am think of your purse sighing with relief.

Morning all,
I was wondering does anyone on here use or have used in the past Papertrey ink stamps? There is a uk blog here. I was browsing and think some of their stuff is great. I did see some stamps on NEGirls previous blog posts,

A big Thanks! to Melissa (I think, who posted the info). Apparently we will be using all Papertrey bits & pieces, I'll be back to let you know how we got on. Her blog is here
