Mornin Ladies its flipping freezing here today, even the dustbin lid was frozen solid!
Can't believe its December :eek: where has the time gone

Congratulations to all our winners x:T:T:T

Npsmama your scrapbook pages are fabulous, what gorgeous children you have.:T

Rainmac Gorgeous stamp! and by the way your cards are better than that one anyway:p

Well done to the other winners

I posted a pic of my elf bed and convered notebook on my blog

Rainmac I noticed you commented, the paper is by crafthouse (https://www.crafthouse.net) but when I looked on their website it doesn't show anything cardmaking related. I will try and find the little slip I cut off in a bit and see if it has a name so I can find it on the net. Failing that if you would like me to get you some please shout, it is 12x12 and very nice quality with a pearly finish

Padster - Did I say thankyou for my card? I thought I had? not had a chance to photograph it yet but it is on displlay on the shelf above the TV ... I need to get cracking with yours, I posted my stash to craftygranny already!

Love your pages npsmama - I often wondered if people printed off their digi pages or not. What size do you order them in?

Well done all you lucky winners

Rusty they are absoloutely gorgeous and the paper is to die for. Well Done xx

I really have the urge to craft, my ATG gun is sat looking at me and I need something to stick.
Last night I wanted to make something but had to do my ASDA online, DH refuses to go to the supermarket before Christmas and would rather pay delivery, so I have made use of someone else doing my huge shop. We both needed a brandy when I got to the checkout though:eek: Not nearly as exciting as buying lovely stash.

Do you think it might be too early to make my Snowman Soup's. Or will the marshmallows go hard? I will be using cones for them.

Louby I got mine from Craft Superstore (as did lots of other people on here) it was the cheapest place and you collect loyalty points too. You will need to try the disount code PC22 I think it was 10%off. Oooo just noticed you only have 2 weeks to go before saying hello to your bubs

Thanks, the code doesn't work any more so i think i will wait to see if i can get a better deal, It doesn't matter if i don't get it for xmas. I think i will have my hands full, but think hubby really wanted to get me one as he never knows what to get me and i never ask for anything. Every time he asks me what i want for xmas i just say the baby. I can't believe in 2 weeks i will have had him :eek:

Louby - I spent the last couple of weeks looking for the best deal on a Cuttlebug and £54.95 is the cheapest at the moment. However, I got mine from Oyster Stamps. Actually cost £58 but came with a free rubber mat to use with any stencils. I have some brass stencils and think I will use this mat. ItThe mat normally costs £6.50 so although I paid £3.00 more for the Cuttlebug it's £3.50 cheaper overall than if I had bought the mat at a later date.

If you don't think you'll need the rubber mat then I don't think you'll find cheaper than £54.95 unless someone knows of any promotional codes or other discounts which may come up soon.

My Cuttlebug arrived yesterday and I've had a little play with it and I'm really pleased with it, I can see it being used a lot.

quick post - is a cuttlebug the size of a sidekick or can it do big dies like the big shot?

also posted my first page of journal your christmas - i know it is isn't a card but i want to spread the festive fever I currently have in abundance http://libertycottage.blogspot.com/2009/12/happy-december.html

Sorry Jammie, can't answer your question as I've not seen a Sidekick, but the Cuttlebug is lovely .

Is that a picture of the weather this morning where you live (on your blog page, the snowy house)??? Brrrr. Cold here but we rarely get snow.

It's a bigger machine like a big shot and takes most dies but i don't think it takes the sizzix bigz dies but it takes their others.
