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:

OAP 1945 Wow - absolutely gorgeous :T:T:T

Mary That's good news

Jigga1985 Welcome, it's a great thread, looking forward to seeing your piccies.

Am off to do some crafting - didn't manage any this afternoon, the ironing won - well it had to really, no-one would have had any clean clothes if I'd left it any longer.

Will pop back later, Thriftyxxx

Craftygranny - made me chuckle to see your craft room - I don't feel quite soooo embarrassed about mine now!! I'm in the process of trying to sort out my craft room too!!! Will try and put some photos of my 'shameful' mess on my blog when I get a mo - then you won't feel like you're the only one LOL!!

OAP - Gorgeous cards!!! love the colours!!

Glittermum - will pm you in a mo as got a cheeky favour to ask!!!

thriftyscotslass - LOVE your card soooooooooo much!!! I now need to buy that Sugar Nellie stamp and the same colour promarkers!!! LOL!!! Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy Sugar Nellie stamps... not that I should be spending anymore!!! :j

Went to the Boots 75% sale today and got loads of bargains!!! woop woop! Spent £137 but it should've cost £474!!!!! They had some fab clear xmas baubles down from £6.99 to £1.74!!!! I bought loads to do as pressies for next xmas - you can put photos in them & decorate them how you like!!

Also popped into The Works as they've got a sale on and got some bits and bobs!!

Also mean't to say has anyone heard from Hels? I don't think we've heard from her since her wedding in December and I was just wondering how everything went!!? I was sure she was on facebook but I can't find her in my friends list anymore... or maybe I imagined it!!! LOL! Slowly loooooosing my mind!! Anyway Hels if you're out there I hope you're special day went well and would love to see some photos...

Right must be off to make dinner!! TTFN x

Theres a 10% code in papercraft inspirations for craft superstore which could come in handy for those interested in making a big purchase - applies over £20. I've just bought a big bite and am absolutely not going to buy anything else until after next payday (it was payday today so it's a long way to go - I also bought some of those 12x12 storage boxes - thanks craftygranny and made a craftwork cards order. ooopsy!).

Thanks to everyone for the lovely comments about my card and on my blog - made me all squishy inside

Popkins - I used ruby and red on her coat, satin and dusky pink on her face, her hair was ice grey 4 and black and the fox was ice grey 1 and ice grey 4.

I want more promarkers too but I will NOT let those spendy elves back out their box - wrestles the lid back on the box quickly.

ETA: shhhhhh, that stamp is on sale at Funky Kits

Oooh thankyou!!! I'm soooo rubbish at wrestling those pesky elves they get the better of me EVERY time!!! I ordered 10 of those 12 x 12 trays and I haven't even got THAT much 12 x 12 paper!! :rotfl:but I know I will have just give me time!! :rotfl:and then I'll be mighty grateful that I've got those trays!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Evening ladies - fabulous work everyone! Special mentions to OAP and TSL though - beautiful cards.

I'm off babysitting in a mo - but just discovered a giant toblerone and may have to take it with me! Just had 2 pieces which is more chocolate than I'd usually eat in a week but I've got the taste for it tonight!

Craftygranny, sorry completely missed you off my post, meant to say a huge good luck to Carly with the switch on xxx

I managed to make a card today... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/ in between looking after two poorly kiddies. Was meant to be finishing the ironing I didn't do the other day :rolleyes:. I took the 2 poorlies to Tesco (nearest biggish shop to me) to get them a little something as being stuck in with me all week is slowly driving us all crazy. So, I managed to pick up Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine whilst I was there so have the lovely free papers and they are lovely . If you get the magazine from Tesco you also get a reasonable set of Beatrix Potter embellishments. Not really my kind of thing but they are free

Going to have a relaxing evening doing some image colouring.

This is probably a stupid question, but you know on websites when it doesn't specify paper size...do I presume its 12 x 12?

Like on cleocrafts, there's this paper... http://www.cleocrafts.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/48_209_420/products_id/2139

I'd appreciate any help

I think it's safe to assume that at that price it's 12 x 12 Saucy. It's not very often you find smaller sizes sold in single sheets unless it's special cardstock or something.

PS. Just had another look, it looks like it's a site mainly for scrapbooking supplies so it would be 12 x 12, also it seems to be double sided, again 12 x 12 often is.

saucysecrets - just had a look and can't see anything that tells you the size but I'd have thought if its for scrapbooking it would be 12 x 12 -someone else on here will know better I'm sure.

I've just gone bonkers and ordered a load of paper from calico crafts - they've a sale on and some basic grey was on sale as well.............wanted some to cover shoe boxes for pressies..............:rotfl:
