I went online and read some reviews before I bought it......I origionally wanted a cuttlebug, but decided on the bigshot, yes it was more expensive but I am able to use other inserts with the expanding pack!!!

I have never made a card before:) how sad is that!? (okay i have... A4 sheet of paper folded in 2 and a pic on it when i was about 4 or 5)...so im starting from scratch.....I was lucky enough to be given money for my birthday and kept it to buy myself something (instead of saying yes i will get myself something and then spend it on the kids) So tada...im now posting here...looking for ideas.....I have looked at some blogs and one word comes to mind WOW!!!

You are all so talented...cant imagine myself acheiving some of the things you are all doing!!!

Mumoffour welcome, I second the wife s post this must be the least MSE thread in the world but it is I am sure one of the most fun, cant help with sizzix I a cuttle!!!!!! and boy they cost a fortune in food:rotfl::eek:
wanna b rich I am lucky my local craft shop ( 5 min walk) is a promakers stockist so it is ssooo easy to select them and I get to test the colour before i buy.

Thanks to all re help with Blogger, I agree Rainmac definately designed by a man. I'm in no way IT minded but I'm sure it could be far easier than it is. I have eventually got the photos to drag a little at a time and got them in the right place, I may try TomsMoms way next with copying the code I will see how I get on today.

I too ordered some Promarkers last Friday from Joanna Sheen and have heard nothing since, do you get a dispatch email from them does anyone know?

Mumoffour - Welcome and thank you for my first laugh of the morning. I have only been involved with this thread a month but already am dreading the post man ringing the bell if OH is around. If you can find a way to make more money than you spend please let us all know your secret!

All I will say is the wonderful advice, support and friendship you get on this forum is free, but priceless.

Right off to find a cardboard box for DS to turn into a robot head and need to rescue DD from the beads and glue. Instead of threading them she decided to stick them on paper only she appears to have more of them stuck to her than on the paper!

Mumoffour77 - Welcome! I'm sure you'll get into the swing of it very soon! I'd start by looking what you can download off the net to keep prices down.

Lei - forgot to say, Brilliant reward for all your effort sticking on the gems. It looked really fab.

OAP - Thanks for the reminder, my first effort strayed from the brief so I'll try again today (hopefully) but first to sort out Mr Tefal.
