Hi all,

This is a bit of a weird question (i think anyway) but can someone please tell me how to use backing paper that has a design on it? What i mean is i have got some SMIRK, DOVECRAFT PEPPER AND FRIENDS and FOREVER FRIENDS papers that are like these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Smirk-her-6x6-glitter-effects-12-sheets-/220601341516?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Crafts_CraftingPaper_EH&hash=item335cdd564c

but i am stumped at how to use them, would you stick a topper on them or ..............

Thanks in advance for any help and i hope everyone feels better soon. Big hugs to everyone who needs them :grouphug:

I never really know how to use these either I have done a forever friend one where I used a couple of the sheets and decoupaged them its here if you want to have a look it's here

Pepop - Not sure what you mean by don't know how I cope? Surely this is just normal every day life? :rotfl: or is it just that I am so used to poop being thrown at me in every direction that I just try and get on with it? :rotfl:

Liza - that workstation is one of the ones that OH and I were looking at for me! he saw some others which also had more storage that that one but I liked that one. Can you call your local store and ask them? we went down and managed to get the last 2 display trofast units for DS's bedroom!! was a mare but worth it in the end!!

There is a free digi here @ Just inklined

The painter has gone :j :j and the carpet fitter is upstairs fitting carpet (I hope! lol) OH should be home soon so we can start putting everything back in there before we have to go get weighed!!

I am annoyed though, he has splattered dark grey on the skirting :mad: luckily it is behind the door so cant notice it really!! .... also he has snapped the ariel off OH's garage stereo ... OH has had it for years and will go mad :mad: I haven't told him yet but would have been nice to be told rather than just finding it in amongst all of the carp he left all over the floor!! Geeee Rant over!

I can't remember who was asking for sites that sell Magnolia stamps with no postage - well I found this one - the prices are really good and there's a little sale on them at the minute - I'm just about to buy some (no miniumum spend either)!! I've just noticed that they sell card candy too for £1.49 - some packs are £1.41 and House Mouse stamp sets for £9.99 (I don't know whether this is a good price as I've never bought any) and also Kanban sets of stamps for £9.49 that are incredibly similar to LOTV ones (I think they're by the same designer).

nice find! didn't realise that kanban did stamps like that - and they do look like the same designer as the LOTV stamps. Pleas someone snap up the magnolia lady bug stamp before I give in and break my stash diet!

I really wanted Christmas stamps but love the lady bug so I will buy it:rotfl::rotfl:

Oh thanks Melissa, I'm after Magnolia stamps too.

Liz, I love the workstation too. I've just had a thought. We have space for one for me, if we move DD2's desk into her bedroom. Woohoo. :j

JHB goes on facebook but I think she's had probs finding a job, she did mention that there was far too much temptation to buy stuff when she came on this thread! she's ok, just dont think she has the time/resources to craft at the moment!

Thanks Gemm

Scatty I think I'd be wanting in too. What about your buyers - are they ok about it?

Liz Have you tried gumtree or do you want a shiney new one? I used to have the desk of that range when I was studying - I know that's no help to you but it was really sturdy.

Rusty I hope it's nice pretty pink sparkly poop if you're going to wear it - just had a giggle to myself, just ignore me - it's been a LONG day

Cheese and wine night tonight and to say my red wine is calling me is putting it mildly - need to go to s*dding B+Q first though.
