Rusty Go to bed. Youre a danger to yourself LOL ... Want me to post you some tablets to get you through the weekend ? See theres benefits to having friends with same tablets haha. Love your cards !!

Furrypig I cant wait to see your creations with your new NEC stash... Are all the tins in your kitchen cupboard still intact ? Just wondered if you had snook a chomp with your chomper.

Im going to craft this weekend , and iron .. In that order Well i am deffinately going to craft, not sure about the ironing yet haha. I was still up at silly o'clock... Who decided that student nights should be on a thursday ? But i put my staying up to good use and made a few more cards to send to Craftygranny So now i dont feel bad about staying up. My eldest son was thankful too >> note to self : Insure that DS has his key when he goes out !!

Sally - so sorry to hear your news, thinking of you and your family xx

I haven't been around all week as I've been ill, high temp, aching all over etc. My head still feels like it is stuffed with cotton wool so I am only popping on the computer when I have to. I will try and catch up when I can think properly

Oh no, hope you start feeling such better soon Skiergirl

Hello

Sal, I am so sorry to hear the news of your brother. Thinking of you and your family and sending you the hugest of cyber hugs xxx

Craftygranny, sorry to hear the news about Alicia's op being cancelled and the reason why xxx

Rusty, what an earth are you up to today missus??? Can't beleive you are giving away all those stamps, lovely lady :A The worst that's happened to me (so far) today is to get soaked in the rain. Had my hair cut this morning and I looked lovely (well I thought so ) and now don't :mad:

Got my fair tomorrow, I am sooooo nervous. As it's very local to me I am panicking that people I know will feel obliged to buy things they don't want/like or look at my things, think they are carp and tell their friends I make rubbish. I'm not good at handling criticism, can you tell :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Rainmac , I hope you have a super sell out day tomorrow Why on earth would anyone think that ? Your crafts are FABULOUS !!! If they think that they dont deserve the opportunity to buy them.

Wish i lived nearer i would love to give you some support, i could bash people towards your stall with my stick . I dont think you will need my stick BTW

Sal So sorry to hear your sad news, my heart goes out to you and your family. I just can't begin to imagine how you must all be feeling, loosing 2 close family members so close together, it must be devastating for your mum. Thinking of you all (((hugs))) xx

I am having an other disaster!!!

I have made a card and think it needs to be in a square rather than on a label!! I used my new big bite!! however does anyone know how I use a sizzix alphabet in a cuttlebug?? it is too thick for a C board and a B board and if I use a B board with another B board then it doesn't cut through the card fully!!

See here!

Rainmac don't be daft mrs! you will do brilliant! xxxx

Craftygranny I was sorry to hear Alicia's op had been postponed, but as everyone else has said its better to wait and have full attention than to be rushed. At least you know she must be well enough to wait a little longer. Well done on the LFC goodies too, the boys must be thrilled. I finally got round to posting your parcel today I'm so sorry its taken me a week to get it sent. I think it would have been cheaper to bring it in the car lol got a bit carried away!! I just hope its all ok for you xxx

Rusty can you not use 2 pieces of card under the die just to lift it up a fraction?

LOVE your card

Right my advise would be to use 2 x B plates but then pad it out abit with some old card makes it that bit thicker and you can adjust the size/ thickness until you get it right

I can use sizzix dies with my bug, think i used a C and B plate.
But if its too big try the cardboard .... Let me know how you get on:D
