Sorry to interrupt (yet again!)
Does anyone know what the C plate is for? I can't find it in the instruction book :S

It's for using when you use Nestability dies, etc. Saucy. If you google "Cuttlebug sandwiches" you'll get the right sandwich for different jobs. Hope that makes sense. I'd look it up for you but just dashing to get ready to go out.

You use the c plate for cut thinner dies like nesties hth

Oooohh, that makes sense. Thank you! Seems like so much to learn.

Could I pay you for a few butterflies? I love them but I'm not sure if I'd use them or just look at them so I'd like to see them first...No worries if not!

Dragonllew-I bought that Marianne butterfly but find it incredibly fiddly getting it out of the die, and then getting all the teeny bits out to use it again! Have you got any lovely tips for me?? It is lovely though!

*waves* have just read the 4 pages I've missed today but can't remember any of it.

Tom's mum - I've been using staples white art and craft card £4 ish for 50 sheets for printing digis and used watercolours the other day and had no problems - maybe it's your ink? (shruggy smiley thingy).

Marg - yes it is me going to Scotland.

I know some people needed hugs and that Nanny boo was one and CG another but can't remember anything else. Blimey I'm rubbish today blame it on everyone and his dog wanting to know if
a) their bins would be emptied tomorrow
b) they could have a postal vote
c) pay their council tax
didn't they know I had stuff to do other than answer the phone (decide which promarkers I'm going to buy next) :rotfl::rotfl:

Thank you rainmac for my surprise that arrived today put a smile on my face.

Ohhh remembered something else - I don't know how the others in the house manage to walk round without falling over as they obviously have their eyes shut and expect the "fairies" to tidy up after them and guess which clothes they're wanting to wear :mad: and why is it only ever me that cleans the toilet or feeds the cat (smiley shruggy thing)

Am really not looking forward to my weekend - will be nice to see OH's family but I won't be able to "do" anything not even stick my nose in my book - don't people know I have stitching and crafting to do :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. I hate sitting round doing nowt

Hi Macma thanks for your lovely comments the butterfly is a marianne creatable die you can see them here if you would like a few cut let me know.


like Saucy I would love some butterflies so I'm not sure how this works but let me know and I'll send you a cheque.
thanks Adele

Just a quicky from me before I start making another 3d card for my son - he is getting a psp, so am hoping to do the same kind of thing that I did for the xbox controller card and I-touch cards I have done in the last couple of weeks. Hopefully, it will be as successful as the others, and will be able to blog it later tonight/tomorrow.

Big thank you to flourgirl for the emails, and an even bigger one to Marg for the package that arrived this morning, glad the stick worked for you - I love chocolate, as any of my family will tell you :rotfl:, so thank you very much, the card was gorgeous too xx

Hugs to anyone that needs them.

I hope you manage to sort things out with your FIL CG, and that your OH come home safely from Scotland for the long weekend Rusty x

TiredMom - that's great news that your DD has been sleeping through the night - fingers crossed it continues!

CT19720 - glad to hear that you're new job is going well.

Cgcockcroft - sorry to hear you're having problems with your f-i-l - it must be really hard to deal with.

Popkins - sorry to hear you're sick - it sounds horrendous - I've never heard of the virus myself.

Nannyboo1 - sorry you've been having a rough time! Hope things get better soon - a cuttlebug will definately cheer you up!

Rainmac - I didn't realise hobby house had a stall there - good job I didn't go - I'd have spent a fortune!

Rusty - thanks for seeing the papers and thinking of me! I had a quick look earlier - they are so gorgeous! The shop now has re-stocked on most of the OA ranges so I'm going to check which papers I haven't got and order them all!!! I was tempted to get one of the boxes from Sarah's cards, but I didn't bother. I broke my spending ban last night and spent £20 at pink gem stamps - I've never ordered from there before but their stamps look fab.

Sorry I have just read through the last 3 pages but now cant remember all of it and only a flying visit tonight.

nannyboo - not sure about the new baby image but there is a cute one here for a new house. There are also a few other freebies on this site.

Popkins - hope you feel better soon. I had labrynthitis a few years ago it really is horrible. The only thing I can liken it to is being extremly drunk. I know I couldn't even move slightly in the bed without the whole room swimming.

Dragonlew - well done on your win
