OH has connected the wifi so I now have internet access:j:j

not brought any craft stuff with me so not done any for ages. I have however been to the local charity shop and they have a craft section:j I bought some fab pink brads for 75p today. they have martha stewart flocking powder, glitter and something else (some sort of tiny bead like stuff!). please can someone enlighten me what flocking powder is used for as I haven't a clue but it seems too good a bargain to miss:D

congratulations to all the winners:T wow rusty 2 DTs:j will I ever see you:rotfl:

Flock is used to make things sort of furry bit like velvet you just put glue onto what you want on your image such as a fur trim on a hat then sprinkle on the flock and let it dry. hth

Thanks for the link - that website also has an ebay shop here and they work out cheaper as the postage is 80p for the first item and 10p for each additional item. Dew Dots are 99p in her ebay shop!!!! Off to order a few colours now!!! Thank you CG!!!

I use dew drops a lot and stick them on with 3mm glue dots, you can't see the glue at all

Rusty, I'm gonna have to wait to find out aren't I. I can't think of anymore with DT calls, oh I did spot one at Creative Insprirations, am I on the money...?

Been to a country park all day with a couple of my old friends and their little ones, feeling pretty shattered now and have a sore throat and a hurting ear, not sure what that's all about but hope it goes away by tomorrow!

I've just found out that I've been picked to be a guest designer on Lexi's blog. I've had to email her to say that I'll be away - I've said that if she lets me know what the challenge is then I might be able to take a few things away with me to make a card - typical isn't it??

Kms - your cards are fab - my favourite is the cupcake one - really pretty pastels!!!

Elysia - I would have entered your blog candy - but I've already got that stamp. Thanks for the travelling wishes for tomorrow - I'm hoping that the car makes it - its the furthest that we've been in it.

Bunbun - I can't believe that your charity shop has a craft section - fab!!!

Jowri I've got the birdie punch from SU and it's dead cute, I'll post a pic if what I've done with it later when I've got through 19 :eek: swap cards for the US, keeping them very simple though and small too as postage has gone up alarmingly. It'll be 25-27 cards this month by the time Ive finished, must be a record for me

ouch wifey I dont envy you having to make that many cards!! I struggle with one card and one atc swap a month :rotfl:

kms - if you need to browse for digis try here - you might like to make a cuppa before you sit down though

Went to see cats & dogs in 3d this afternoon - plays havoc with my contact lenses but enjoyed it - then went to see my friend's new grandson - managed to make him cry surprise surprise (was better when they let the dog out the kitchen) DD thought he was brill though - fortunately no more for me

thanks for all the cuttlebug tips guys, now i don't know whether to get a bug or a big shot, I have read that big shots aren't as good as embossing as the often catch edges is this true? Also do you need to buy an extra mat/plate to cut and emboss with for other dies like you with the bug?
x just a repeat of my earlier post, bug or big? which way should i go?
