rainmac - thanks.............look forward to the paper clip........bet its not that easy.................lol:rotfl: Look out for my pleas of 'help !!!!' when it all falls apart.............lol
Having enough trouble trying to keep the gold twine with stars on wound round my little 'soft trees'...........mind you, was first attempt........always takes me more than that.:o

Marg

Oh Rainmac - glad you're OK - didn't meant to hassle you just worried in case you were poorly or something. See what's on the TV & if it's something you fancy have the night off!

Mrs T - Glad you've got a diagnosis for your little one. Never heard of that. Hope he's well again soon. Don't feel guilty. I am one of 4 & unless it was obvious we were too ill to go my Mum used to work on the principle that you go to school/work & if you deteriorate they'll send you home. It worked pretty well for her - we were rarely sent home. Just realised I said 'sent' home which would have applied then, now I suppose you have to collect them. (I am old)

Flourgirl - I've done cards for Ikki & asked her today for her addy.

Louby - Thank you - pm'd you.

I have had one since June :j :j :j they are fantastic and I couldn't be without mine now! Although I do tend to use mine more for die cutting rather than embossing, but I feel that will change soon . If you can afford one then I recommend them!

Alyssa they are brilliant!!

Popkins

:j:j:j woohoooooooo!!! My mojo is back!!! Have spent the day 'playing' with my Cuttlebug & new dies (I LOVE IT!!) and have managed to make 10 of my mum's Xmas Cards - only 20 more to go!!! Have to say though my back is killing me now - think combination of NEC Friday and making all those cards today - bit of a Fibro flare - thankfully got a treatment booked tomorrow so hopefully that should help!!

Will post photos of the xmas cards on my blog tomorrow!!

oh btw I am loving the bra/knickers cards and may have to make one myself when I get a mo!!!

Alyssa Liss - you are in the wrong place if you want to be talked out of a cuttlebug! Loads of us have got them and we love them. I really like the embossing folders, and lots of us use nestabilities in the cuttlebug for cutting out shapes. In each set of nesties you get half a dozen or so of the same shape (ie circles/scallop circles) in slightly different sizes so they are great for layering. If you want some inspiration try Ikki's blog too

ive only made 2 things so far so cant justify it yet lol whats the best price?, hobbycraft is £99:eek:

Alyssa - I've got one & I love it!

I think that's too much to pay I'm sure my little local craft shop sell them for less than that. Those who've got them recently have bought from Craft Superstore with a discount code of ?PC22? HTH
