    A freebie here might be one to keep in your favourites there's some nice bits and pieces on there

    I wondered that too, Ali

    Rusty, I've just finished an 8 x 8 card with a digi image, it's easy to resize to fit the card, it'll be going on my blog later today. As you can see I'm v. busy again :D

    Would people print out images on their computer if I was to stamp mine? Sounds silly but someone (not naming names) emailed me some lovely images last week and I can print them out over and over again, just wondered if it would be something that others would use? I have a massive box of stamps so. Ot sure? Let me know what you think!

    Going to have a mosey on bay ... Let's hope I don't spot any bargains!

    Sorry to snip, ooh yes please.

    Do you have to register even to download the freebie as I seemed to be going through checkout.

    Rainmac, Tired Mom & Hogshead - It's this one and I paid £7.49. I'm not sure wether they are just a chain in the SE? I could always have a look for you and see if they've got any left. The Big Bite was the old orange colur not the pretty pink but tbh at that price I didn't care.

    I'll pm you.

    Hope those with outings organised haven't got our weather. It is throwing it down with rain again at the moment and I have washing I need to get done :mad:

    Had great time at the challenge class last night. I was the only one and we got so absorbed and were nattering it went on till 10.15 instead of 9.00.

    Catch up later

    Whoops its not very clear sorry!! cause I am so tired but cant sleep lol

    Basically I stamp images onto card, then scan them in i.e 6 or 8 images on 1 x A4 sheet, then scan them and email them, then whoever wants them can print ask for them and print them off themselves as and when they want?

    What a great idea Rusty. Never thought of that before. I would be interested.

    Wannaberich - just to let you know I received my voucher from CSN yesterday. Just trying to figure out what to buy now! It will have to wait till after my holiday as I'm not sure how long it would take to arrive. We are off to the cinema today, its a toss up between A Team and inception. Did you see the original A Team? Hope the [STRIKE]wakeover[/STRIKE] sleepover goes ok.

    Quiksave - found the chomper on your link, try here, its very tempting!

    Hope everyone has a good day. Will do some blog hopping later. Hugs to all. xx

    While I was there, I had a look at all the other freebies - there's some lovely ones.

    Wifey - Thank you! snipped you - sorry!

    Rusty - Yes please! snipped you too - sorry. Hope your mojo turns up today and hope your Mums FIL is not as bad as you fear. x

    Soma - Thinking positive thoughts for you.:)
    Flourgirl - Happy Birthday to Willow - sending hugs for her:jand:bdaycake:.

    Dull & overcast here & that's not just the weather! Need a couple of birthday cards for weekend and to get ready for my Godson's wedding! Mojo's gone AWOL (with Rusty's?) and wondering why the couple didn't elope? Bless them! they are sooo excited & have invited us to the 'Wedding Eve' Dinner too & my wardrobe is pants. Think I need to go shopping........

    Thanks for that Wifey, one freebie site I hadn't seen. I'm a sucker for papers so I've downloaded four sets.
    Soma all of last week I was making between 2 and 6 cards a day! Once my mojo has gone nothing can bring it back! Not even trying to make one for a challenge, infect that makes me more stressed if I try!


    My mum called earlier, her fill has been rushed from respite to hospital, it's not looking good for him, seems like a lovely bloke but never met him, I know how upset my stepdad was when my grandad died so I dread to think what he will be like if it happens to his own dad!


    Would people print out images on their computer if I was to stamp mine? Sounds silly but someone (not naming names) emailed me some lovely images last week and I can print them out over and over again, just wondered if it would be something that others would use? I have a massive box of stamps so. Ot sure? Let me know what you think!

    I hope your mojo returns soon Rusty. At the moment I'm colouring in images then can't decide on papers, when I found the right papers I can't decide on a layout! I hunt for sketches when I get like that and even then I'm not always satisfied with the finished card!

    Sorry to hear about your mom's FIL.

    Whenever I've had stamped images sent to me (or bought from ebay) I usually scan them and save to computer so I can print them out another time.
