    Now I'm interested. Is this strong enough to use then instead of DST. Could you let me know the best place to get one from and the refills, I imagine chepaest isn't always the best. Have a super day today and Happy Anniversary.

    I know the gun seems a lot when you first look at but I swear by mine, it's strong enough for cardmaking and box making :)

    Hi Gemm, 3M were supposed to be sending me one and I had a right game about trying to get it from them to me, so I ended up having a huge row and telling them to stick it! (no pun intended!)

    thats a shame, you dont know what youre missing!! why couldnt they just post it to you, thats how I got mine...?

    Gun looks good Gemm but the tape is too wide for me and can't see a more narrow tape for papercrafting!!

    I bought some really thin 3mm double sided tape with red backing on it that is really strong. I bought it from the Ally Pally show from a glue and tape stall and I am running out now!!! Does anyone know the type of stall I mean and if so do you know if they trade online.

    Hello all :j
    Can't keep up with all your work and blogs and stuff............you're all so busy.
    I've been doing christmas cards this afternoon....nothing special -I keep those for family and do those later. Least I'm nearly on top of it all.

    rainmac - just had quick look at your blog.......what super cards...........the papers are lovely and you do have a nack with design

    Had my visit to ENT boffin on Wednesday.......ears and nose are ok........he says I've got tinnitis (not sure how to say it let alone spell it !) and best bet is to make sure there's always some background noise like the radio to distract me from thinking there's a train going through my head............lol:rotfl: One of those things I've got to live with ............oh well, been going on that long now I'm used to it.

    Hope you're all ok and hugs ((((((((:o)))))) to those who need them
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Can anyone tell me what the difference between Aqua promarkers and normal promarkers are? I want them to colour stamps, if that helps :D

    Hi everyone
    My friend and her children have left today, the house is so very quiet - We did some mega retail therapy - She is really into scrapbooking - but when she came here she became obsessed with card making - so spent ages going round the range and hobbycraft Im surprised she fitted it all in her car! Of course it would have been rude of me not to also get a load :-)) We also swapped a load of papers about so have now some new lovely papers :-)
    Hope everyone is fine
    Im going to have a chill now and make a card or two
    love to you all
    xx
