I swear I saw some the other day but I can't remember where...I'm trying to make some layouts for a friend, and if I used those she could put pictures in herself. Tried Ebay, but no luck

The Glitter Pot dispatched my order yesterday, but I didn't get it today, and I had a second dispatch email for the free book after being asked to reorder, chose next day delivery but it's been two days now! Ah well, me and deliveries are rubbish.

Made some cute stamped notelets yesterday, I quite like them. Even got a stamp with my name on Haha.

Can't wait to see today's creations from everyone

Lidls that is what I was talking about a few posts up! they have them for £1.49. Alternatively search on scotch for photo mounts.

Can we see your notelets

TSL definatly CRAFT, I love your distressed card the sugar nellie stamp is soo gorjuss!! I bought that one last week but have not used it yet

I was at Funky kits real shop on Saturday for a promarker/prismacolor pencils demo. Totally engrossing an hour passed before I had noticed. I ended up buying a box of pencils, paper stumps and a bottle of Sansodor to blend the colours with.

I did two cards last night whilst OH watched the football

Feeding squirrels I used promarkers


and Demure I used prisma


not sure which I prefer but since I had fun doing both I am happy

Right now I have to peel spuds :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thrifty your distressed card is gorgeous x

Rusty I was just thinking about saveapenny the other day and wondering if she was ok. Now funky fairys have packed up she won't be doing any designing either. She is probably having a rest from crafting (didn't she have a complaint against her from someone?) and spending more time with the family and her gorgeous grandson. Glad your DH has ordered your machine, maybe you can help me out with mine then (same software) Don't sell your nesties! if you do sell them to me lol Ive spent a couple of hours this morning trying to cut some oval nesties I might as well have banged my head on the wall. Think I'm going to ask DH for help:mad: We went out for a walk instead and called at ASDA for the magazine, the MME papers are really lovely, the free ones inside the mag are naff though.

Rainmac I'm tempted to order the Basic Grey Sugar Rush and the Bo Bunny Love Bandit papers, think I will have to leave it to the end of the month. Oooo your boys ears sound really painful, I hope the Antibiotics kick in quickly.

OAP Fab cards :T

Must be spud peeling time, could someone peel me some lol we are having sausage and mash and onion gravy. We hadn't had sausages for months until Melissa mentioned it a couple of weeks ago and now we've had it twice:D

Everyones cards look great - I'm planning on attempting to make some this evening (only nade a few so far but seem to be spending loads on bits and bobs) - accidently spent another £18 today in hobbycraft ... only went in to buy some 8 x 8 pages which they didnt have - couldnt come away empty handed!
Now debating about subscribing to the Cardmaking & Papercraft mag too. Does look very good - telling myself it may give me some more ideas. Havent got any stamps or anything like that yet - just my cricut and a few stickers and pretty things to stick on cards lol!

I have another question (sorry everyone!)
You know the bind it all? Can you only get white paper? I wanted to make a notebook for lists, so lines or diary pages would be brilliant...

Anyone know?

Thank you!

Saucy Melissa made me a fab notebook with lined paper, I think she just cuts her own, as for diary pages maybe google will help.

I thought about her the other day, but forgot to mention it on here til I was lying in bed :rotfl: I do hope she is ok.
Flourgirl whats the problem with the ovals? I am dreading learning how to use mine :eek: My nesties are already written out I have given bunbun first refusal on them all so whatever she doesn't want will be offered to you lot for a bargain price before posting them on ebay! Can you look into a programme similar to Autocad? (not sure if Autocad is free or how easy it is to use) OH is going to teach me how to use autocad and the other night he made a completely random shape then at the click of a button he put a scallop edge round it :eek: think I need to go buy this magazine for the free papers :rotfl:

We had bangers and mash on sunday :j :j was supposed to be toad in the hole but I was starvin, we were out shopping on sunday and I was trying not to spend too much money so got the kids and OH food from greggs and forgot to get me anything! :rotfl: I refused to stand for another 15 mins in the queue so I went without!
