THE-WIFE_3

Thanks so much, Melissa, I found what I was looking for at Wild Orchid.

I have a question about the challenges on the blogs (like the one Dragonllew's just won) you enter. Do you know the people who are doing the blogs? or are you able to enter whoever you are. Sorry if it's a silly question but was thinking about possibly entering and wasn't sure what i need to do.

Thanks
Charlie:D

Hi Charlie anyone can enter the challenges on the blogs like the one I won you just have to follow the theme or sketch that that blog has that week then leave a link to your card on the blog.

Charlie23 - sounds like a great offer - £40s worth of stuff for £14.99.

Jailhousebabe - that's really kind of you to say - thanks honey! I do mean to post every day but Elliot doesn't seem to be sleeping as much as he used to so I don't have much time plus I've been on a bit of a de-cluttering session! I'll have to take a pic of Elliot soon to show you all - he's got these really cute stripey pjs on at the minute that I got for him yestersday and he's sat on my knee so I'm having to write all of this with one hand!

The-wife - no problem.

CraftyJuJu - I really recommend those gems - I think I almost have every pack of gems and pearls that they do - they are really pretty colours too!

Charlie23 go for it! Most times it's a random selection so everyone, no matter their ability, has a chance. We all started entering challenges at sometime. If you feel that there's something not quite right about your card post it to your blog, let us know on here and you'll get all the help you want.

I've just used my cuttlebug
I'm so happy with it. Although everytime I cut it leaves an indent in the panel on top, which doesn't look too good, but I was really careful that I followed the instructions :S

I've got some small circle cuts, and a postage stamp, and some small embossing folders. I've ordered a few more embossing things, but does anyone know where I can get big dies, that you can put behind sentiments and stamps etc?

I love it. Thanks everyone

Saucy i said exactly the same last night, was really begining to panic. But the wonderful ladies on here informed me that it's supposed to do that! :j:j They also suggested to use the same panel on the top so that you keep one of the panels for good.

have no idea about buying big dies or anything (yet)

Cuttlebug's great isn't it (mine arrived yesterday!)
:D
