Thanks for your comments. Shop on e-bay isn't fully stocked as we are just starting out I have a limit to how much I can have and as it was christmas ordered lots of christmassy things. Hope in time to keep up with the trends and I love reading here all that you use. Can you tell me please what are cosmo cricket papers?
Ddraig - a basic store is £14.99 a month but you also have to consider listing, final selling and paypal fee's. Hope this helps.

Well I have actually done it and I cant believe it. I have made a card and it is for Rainmacs challenge it's here on my blog. http://wendys-craft.blogspot.com/
Thank you so much Rainmac for this challenge I really enjoyed it. Going to go look for another one to do tomorrow. Any suggestions??
Thanks again all. x

Well Happy New Year to all my fellow crafters and I wish you everthing you wish for yourselves. My first wish is to get rid of all the "global warming" white stuff that has kept me ice bound and therefore house bound since before christmas:mad::mad: no gritters and frozen ice ruts 9 inches high in the road and the pavements are worse(note to self .. stop moaning)
I am loving everyones take on Rainmacs sketch challenge so had a go my self



The papers are K and Co and Cordinations and the stamp is Crafty Individuals coloured with Promarkers

Hope it pleases

Rusty forgot to ask have you been to the Scrapbook shop in Durham - wondering what is was like. When the weather is better thinking of having a trip - do you think it is worth the visit?? Mind you could incorporate it with a shopping trip - cough cough!!

So can you all help. If I were to stock some Cosmo Cricket papers. (thanks for the link cosmo girl) Which would be the best in your opinion to stock?

Ddraig

Thankyou for that Wendy.Cant see the benefit of the charge for a shop if you still get all the other charges ontop.But thats prob coz I dont know all about it.I have my fingers and toes crossed for you for your shop xx

Just got back in from garden after flying on my bum having a snowball fight with the husband and 3 girls.Best laugh we had for years.Hes back to his miserable self now though lol.

Wam Probably the mini decks 6X6 these seem to be a popular size on this thread

I have had this problem with Memento Ink too and found that I have to either go over the stamp with a rubber first or lightly sand it (this worked best) x

Wow thankyou for this link, I get so annoyed as most of my clear stamps are like this and I end up just not bothering to use them!!! Will try and find DS's rubber and see if I can get them to work!! x

Rusty the cosmo cricket papers I have are earth love and they are gorgeous I just need to look for some mushroom or toadstool charms to make my DILs birthday card.

Found and bought some Fairy mushroom charms on ebay 20 for 99p plus £1 p&p

The nutmeg ones are lovely aswell, I am seriously tempted by the earth love ones but really shouldn't be spending!
Charms sound lovely!

Ali I have been there, Bunbun took me as it is very close to where she lives, first impressions were that is was quite small, but there is loads in there, some of it is expensive but most of it is normal priced if that makes sense? I would go again :j :j but I have just ordered from their website and delivery was fast and they have a points system aswell so you can save whilst you spend
I will try the rubber on my stamps first then if no luck I shall send NE girl a pm. Thankyou

Wam - Beautiful card!! ... some recommendations from me ... Nutmeg & earth love (cosmo cricket) and basic grey then that is one which is always popular! Will send you a PM about something, but you may already know!

OAP - Lovely to see you here, hope you had a nice christmas even if snowed in!! beautiful card!

DDraig - sounds like you had fun!!

Me and the kiddies have made a small snowman after school!! was so much fun as DD kept on grabbing snow and chucking it in DS's face!! :rotfl: will blog it later on.
