I just discovered them too Bought some at Ally Pally and everything I've made since has been Glossy Accented - will need a new bottle or 10 by the time I go back in April

Rusty I got my Elizabeth Shaws from Morrisons last week they were BOGOF I also got Twilights for 1/2 price

Popkins love all your cards but the swiss dots are my favourites

No naughty cats or children here just cantankerous customers this morning!!

Think the kitchen floor needs replacing

Snap that's what i got in morrisons too

does your house insurance not cover it mine did when mine did it at my old house last year.?

JHB - your tattoos look great - did the ear one really hurt though?

Hi Mumhug - hope things are Ok at the mo for you.

Kim - I can't buy singles, I just don't know where to start so I've just gradually bought a few sets. I just bought the autumn, winter, spring and summer sets from Little Claire for £25.

Just remembered I've got a bottle of glossy accents from the NEC - when I get round to making a card again I must try it out! I'm a bit up to my ears in snowman soup and flannel reindeer at the moment!

Craftygranny we only have a small kitchen so dont think it would be worth claiming DH would do it himself anyway, probably only cost about £100 so by the time we have paid the excess it would hardly be worth the hassle. I have been at work today so in the morning I will deffinately post your parcel, would probably be cheaper to hand deliver it as I got a bit carried away

louby-lou-lou

ok so i txt my hubby this am about the fact he had a parcel come and can you belive he has only just rang me now to say i can open it. How cruel is that! He is on a late today and doesn't get home until midnight. I had a complete carp day on friday from the min i woke up to the min i went to bed with one thing or another and i was was very upset, I so wish i had come to the NEC then none of it would have happened but never mind. So the next morning he went on-line and bought me the pro-markers.
Inside which i hadn't seen this morning was a little note from him saying they were to cheer me up and he loved me ahhh.

So i can use them now :j and they aren't from xmas.

I am slighty nervous, i get my section date tomorrow! it is making it really real now.

glad to hear it, I had a bit of a play this afternoon when the kitties finally went to sleep for a while! I made a couple of Xmas cards, I got some gorgeous shaker toppers from that £1 stall and I am kicking myself for only getting 1 set! :rolleyes:

You're all making me jealous now - I wish I'd bought the glossy accents! By the time we saw them though, I'd already spent over my budget. If I see any while I'm on holiday, I'll definitely snap them up. I've been making xmas cards with my NEC stash, but still can't get into my blog. ( If I can't get in by tomorrow, I'll photobucket them and post them here.

I've tried out my heat embossing, to varying success. Melissa - I'm sure I remember you getting a glossy effect with heat embossing? Was it just going over the whole image with clear embossing ink and heating?
Popkins - love your xmas cards, your mum will be very happy I'm sure.
