Stop it stop it please. I really really need (okay want) one of these but unfortunately cannot afford one and as hubby and I are so broke we are not buying for each other this year I can't even put it on my Christmas list (stamps foot and goes to stand and sulk in the corner)

Dont worry nannyboo

If we get to have a craft day, i have a cuttlebug that you could have a play with :D

Jammy did you get a scor-pal at the NEC? If so have a look at Splitcoaststampers as Scor-pal is a sponsor and you will find lots of lovely templates for boxes. If not, do you have some sort of scoring board?

Kate sending ((hugs)) and pleased to see you in here.

Nannyboo keep a close eye on Ukscrappers as there are often Cuttlebugs or Big shot you can pick up at a reasonable price this time of year. Either one does the same thing of cutting dies.

Just editing to say that UKscrappers - market place has an pink cropadile plus case for sale at £13.

Glad you all had a great time at the NEC - wish I could have gone.

Does anyone know of any electric shape cutters other than the Big Shot? I have the manual Big Shot but due to a slipped disc in my neck I am unable to use it for long.

OMG - i have just placed an order with tesco using DF's tesco account for some toys and went to check DF's email account to check the confirmation email, we both have acces to all accounts so we can use all accounts to take full advantage of any glitches etc and to my surprise there is an email from:

craftsulove


for:


1 metric scor-pal :T

Now i have to pretend that i havent seen the email. He is normally so good at deleting stuff like this too.

So my hint of loading up the page and sticking a post-it-note to the computer screen with a big arrow pointing to the item saying ''HINT HINT'' obviously worked.

Now to get looking for things to make using it.

wishfullcomper like flourgirl said there's the silhouette, the cricut machine and also the craft robo. Put the names in google to do a search for info or have a look in Ukscrappers. The Cricut machine is brilliant and works with cartridges, the Silhouette and Craft robo work through software on your 'puter. All three can be expensive though.

Princesswoo please get it, beg for it even!!!! You'll soon realise what a fab bit of kit it is. I bought the imperial quite a while ago but also bought the metric one when it came out recently.
