Look very similar to silicone baking sheets!

They're quite heavy which is why the foam sheets might not be sturdy enough. Let me know if the foam sheets work though, its got to be worth a try!!

When do you think your CB will arrive?

I'm looking forward to trying out the embossing paste that will be in the kit I won from the Craft Barn. I've been looking at a few of the plates for a while but wasn't sure how I'd get on with the paste. The kit will give me a chance to try before I invest in the plates and paste I've been eyeballing!!:D

Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it, Im tempted by the cuttlebug offer because i can use flexi pay but wondering if ill ever actually use it....probably not best for a beginner

Moopie, I have a cuttlebug and it's great for a beginner bcause it gives professional results without any extra effort. I would wait a while though. It's a lot of money to pay out if you're just starting out and not sure if you like crafting.

Oh by the way, I have the Epson SX515W and it is easily the BEST printer I have ever used, despite having a very expensive HP one last time. I got rid of that (while it still worked) to buy this.

Im not sure when it will come! C&C are not the fastest to deliver
I will give the foam sheets a go, ive got about a dozen of them, and cant think what to use them for.

I would go to cuttingedgecrafts and pick your own extras - they're great for diecutters and dies

Soma, this offer is, at the moment, on Flexi-pay and would have been handy if there wasn't the budget for the full amount of a Bug. Do Cutting Edge Crafts do that then, flexi-pay?

LOL. I watched this morning. Still umming and ahhing about nestabilities. They had a set of four rounded edge ones, for £50 or £16 odd per month, but I wanted something with a bit more variety.

Elysia have a look here you can buy two sets of nesties of your choice for £30, I don't know about postage cost though. Just adding some to my list for purchase on the 16th

I'm loving some of those new dies -not that I've been eyeing them up or anything:D

Carmin - You could always use the foam with die cuts to make a stamp. I've been experimenting the last couple of days with my beloved birdcage die:D
