Did you order a cricut then ? Pink one is very pretty

Naughty Choccy!!!!! :eek: Pleeeeeeeeeese don't tempt me!!! Anyway I'm REALLY praying that I'm gonna win the Cricut on The Pink Stamper - draw is tomorrow I think - not sure its gonna be pink tho PLUS I never win anything!!!! Grrrrrr! Didn't win the Bisley filing cabinet on ebay yesterday - sooooo annoying cos it was pretty local!!! Grrrrrr!! :rotfl:I do sound so grouchy!! Been browsing round lots of blogs especially craft rooms - some fab ones out there but I'm just wondering why oh why does everyone seem to have hundreds of die cutting machines!! Seems peeps mostly have Cuttlebug, Bigshot, Cricut, Silhouette .... and more!!! I'm now getting twitchy that not only do I need the Cricut but also the Bigshot & the Silhouette!!! HEEEEEELLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Actually feeling quite excited - have wanted to revamp my blog for a while but can never seem to find just what I want - you wouldn't think it would be that hard - PINK & Butterflies!! Anyway, Little Musings has done a fab blog revamp HERE and hopefully is gonna do mine tooo!! I am soooo excited - Just gave SJ the following list... PINK, BUTTERFLIES, PINK, HEARTS, PINK, POLKADOTS, BUTTERFLIES, GIRLY, PINK PINK BUTTERFLIES, PINK!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I think maybe I need some sleep!!! No can do tho cos I'm on a mission - off to the poundshop for jars and stuff - MUST organise MUST organise!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Arrrggghhh help!! I am in panic mode! A good friend of mine has just called to tell me she is getting married, her H2B hasn't proposed to her yet but the venue and date etc is all booked!! (dont ask she is weird!) but she has called to ask if I can do her invites for her!! .... she asked how much I would charge but I have no idea what to charge?

How much do you charge for invites? I know some of you have made them before?

She likes this style



Which is simple but the website she found them on charges £2.65 per card

Hiya,

I recently did those pink/cream ones for my friend (sorry will upload final photo later not sure where camera is at the mo!!) and charged £1.35 each - totally undercharged really but I wanted to do it as a bit of a pressie so would definitely charge more for someone else - dunno but prob £2 I think - they were A5 size so quite big - for the £1.35 I think I 'made' about 40p an invite for my time which works out at less than minimum wage!!! :eek:

HTH

Rusty have no idea what any one else charges but the ones I have done I've charged a £1 each for the invites with the ones I did materials worked out to be roughly 50p each.

Rusty, perhaps work out the cost of a whole pack of good card stock, a whole pack of good quality paper for the inserts, a printer ink cartridge and the ribbon at least 18-24" per card and add 100% for your time, divide by how many she needs. I'm not sure if this helps but that's how I've done it. It's difficult to know the size.

Thought it was too good to be true that I had only missed a couple off pages in a two days knew there would be a catch lol.

Padster glad I saw your post was concerned as not seen any posts from you recently and thought something had happened to you. Glad it was just a very nice holiday
