Giggle - i posted some pics of my craft room on my home page yesterday - including this one of my die cutting desk if that helps!



Don't know if anyone saw my tutorial on die cutting beer cans? But i made this embesslishment with them (on home page today)

That is stunning i love it. My boys drink loads of cans of pop i can recycle them myself now. lol.

Woooooooooooooooooooooo I am so excited to have won again! it has really made my day. I have finally worked out that I am supposed to set the next challenge. As I have my own make-up artist business and my company name is Mini Moo Make Up and so the theme is:

Cows
or
Make Up

You can interpret this theme anyway you like, i.e. you could use cow print (it doesn't have to be a cow!) It would be hilarious if you could combine both! (My company logo is a cow wearing lipstick, mascara and eyeshadow!)

I will sort out a small prize from my stash. Please PM when you have entered as I might miss entries on here. Closing date for entries is 23.59 Thursday 30th September. Good Luck

Thank you all for your replies re: quickutz. good job I asked, I was going to stick the foam on the back of it!

Craftfaries I tink I have craft room envy Mainly due to the fact I dont have a craft room - I have been relegated to the hallway to do my bits. Loving the die cutting on cans

Hiya

Congrats to the latest winner and welcome to any newbies.

Craftfairies - your 'can' flower is beautiful. I would be scared I would damage the machine or cut myself!!! Looks fab. You are very clever.

PepPop - here is a finished Santa Cutlery holder. It took quite some time to sew on all of the sequins and beads but I like the finished result so will do the other 5 that came in the pack!!!!


Question about the Cuttlebug - if I want to use Nesties with it do I need the thin die cutting mat??? Also do Sizzix Sizlit dies work ok on the bug. My order from Joann's arrived yesterday and I had not realised I ordered 7 embossing folders!!! At least they are light and flat to carry back! The corner chomper was abit heavier though but I will put that in checked baggage.

Ali - hope it went ok for you today.

I tried to get onto Blogger last night to look and comment but it would not let me on at all. Was telling me my cookies were switched off. Will try again later.

Scatty - Good luck for your move tomorrow - hope it goes well for you x

Hope everyone is ok.

You need a 'c' plate to use your nesties PONR. I'm not sure about sizzlet dies as I haven't any.

Those cutlery holders are Brilliant!!!

Thanks - just looked and the 'c' plate is the thin die one - they call it that here!!!! Will order myself one of those. Nesties are not that cheap here so I think I got a real bargain the other day with the one I bought. Will need to keep a look out to see if anymore appear in Michaels!!

Hi all :j

craftfairies -I've just turned a weird shade of green at your craft room:D I've got drawers and the kitchen table..............:(

artydoll -love the notepads..............how big are they ? I've had email from madaboutcards - the little bits I ordered should be here tomorrow:T
Thank goodness as I've been messing about with bits of felt to make animals/things to fit in an alphabet wall hanger with pockets for little grandson. Picked it up on Monday from charity shop and some of the things were missing. Took all day yesterday to make 5...........left with a xylophone to do..........:rotfl:
