Good afternoon ladies
It is a lovely sunny if somewhat chilly wind day here in Lancashire.. and boy is that wind chilly...
Paddington It was me who put the Superstore code on, MCM2405 for 10% off orders over £20 until 24th May.
Giggle I have been to the QVC outlet in Warrington, it is a case of the packs of craft are wrapped sometimes that you can't see what you are getting.. they had quite a lot when I went and there was a bonus of 25% off sale, saying that I didn't get anything and I thought the prices were still a bit dear, but that could have been just the day I went.. It may be different when you go.. there was a lot of other stuff for sale too, I will go again though when I am on the way to Ikea or somewhere near by..

Hi twinkle

You can use nestabilities in the cuttlebug.

I'm fuming still at the moment Rainmac, it makes me sick that we paid good money to have a drive built and we cant use it. Unfortunately the mentaility of the people that live in this road is that they can park where they like. Our next door neighbour had the police out over it at the weekend, I can see it turning really nasty!

On a nicer note I think I am going to bite the bullet and buy a cuttlebug. However I have a question. I know you can get something called a nestability for the big shot to make say scalloped circles/squares in different sizes for layering on cards. However can you get something similar for the cuttlebug? I found this http://www.cuttingedgecrafts.co.uk/cart.php?target=product&product_id=18358&category_id=542 which seems to be the sort of thing, but I dont know the dimentions of the largest square in the set and whether it will be big enough ( I really want something about 3inch x 3 inch square.) Also I remember ages ago someone asked which embossing folders were used most. I know one of them was swiss dots, what other ones do people find the nicest?

Dragonlew - get better soon!

I'm still struggling!!......... So much lovely chat in a short space of time - got loads of chores to do today but before I go .....

GraftyJuJu - http://www.diannesdiecuts.co.uk/ This firm is in Leeds and I've seen them at shows & all they seem to do is die cuts, sorry I can't comment on prices as I only bought a set of die cuts last year at a show. I found one or two butterflies in their list but didn't search them all. I wonder if you showed them the ebay picture they'd be happy to pick up the idea and stock it as I think it's brilliant idea.

Dragonllew - Your CP card will be posted today.

Choccy - Your stash may be posted if I can get to PO rather than just a post box.

Twinklestar - Please take care and go back to Docs and ask Why you should keep getting these infections. Years ago I made my DH ask for a Consultants appt as he kept getting ill similar to you. Consultant put him on permanent antibiotics which worked really well, it's got to be worth a try.

Well I didn't manage to do any crafting yesterday - fingers crossed for today!!! My s-i-l is meant to be popping round today with my birthday present - I'm not meant to know but its some paper storage that she picked up for me from Costco. Can't wait to arrange my papers now - I've just got to figure out where to put it!

Gemm - gorgeous cat card - the image looks fab with those MME papers!!!!

CraftyJuJu - I'm not surprised the bride liked the cards - the one she picked is gorgeous!

Rusty - hope you manage to get some "me" time today. It was the largest die-cut cog that I used and it fits the craftwork cards sentiment exactly.

Dragonllew - lovely tilda in the rain card - I love the pastel colours! And your "girly" card is gorgeous - the flowers look stunning!

Twinklelittlestar - glad to hear that your DD is feeling better - I hope your voice returns soon! Your neighbours sound horrible!

The-Wife - your "mouse" card is lovely - I love the sparkly raindrops and the cloud paper is fab!

Not caught up properly as I need to be rushing out of the door with DD soon for the docs.

Managed to make this card this morning, Not sure how but I made it a bit too top heavy but the buttons keep it weighed down. The inverted scallops I made on the robo and resized them to make a bigger card Need to enter it into a few challenges but won't be able to do that until later on!

A quick heads up for anyone who buys the Creativity mag. The new issue has just been put on the website at Cutting Edge Crafts. Plenty in stock at the moment and there's a free CD rom with this issue, free p+p. I've just ordered mine and a cuttlebug folder slipped into the basket while I was there, I wonder how that happened .

I love that stamp rusty, fab card. It is just the image of my older son that is.It would have been perfect for his birthday just gone. He had to make do with a mario one and i am not blogging it as it was so basic but i once again left it too late to do.

I have blogged some other bits though.

Rusty - that looks fab - love the inverted scallops!! I couldn't spot many challenges to enter my boys card into maybe you'll have better luck!

Louby-Lou-Lou - your boy is gorgeous - love his big eyes!!!! I have the same thing with Elliot - he's smallish for his age - but then my other two were as well. Your flippin card is fab!
