TomsMum have you tried colouring your digital images on the Digital Cardstock from Craftwork Cards with pens/pencils/paints yet. I'm going to give mine a try tonight, just wondering how you got on.

mumoffour, same age as me and I love playing with my grandson on the PS3. I'm evil 'cos I can drive better than him on the road race games. I've also got Webkinz, similar to the farm game on Facebook. Craft Robo......well, that's another thing.

Jowri – happy anniversary
Jailhouse babe – big hugs hope you are feeling better soon
Gemma – huge congrats on the sale! May it be the first of many
Flourgirl – have a lovely day crafting
Rusty – good luck with the potty training, my DD really isn’t ready still she does ask now and again to sit on it, but like with your daughter she sits for 15-20 mins and nothing happens!
Tired Mum – have fun at the class later
Mumoffour – sorry to hear about your aunt, hope she is better soon

I’m an excited little bunny today. My cuttlebug arrived and I have had a quick play. I’m a bit confused though. I bought 1 set of nesties to use. The cuttlebug book says layer as follows from bottom up: A plate, B plate, cutting die, paper, C plate.
But the nesties instructions say layer as follows from bottom up: A plate, C plate, die cutting side up, paper, B plate.
Please can anyone confirm which order they place the items in the cuttlebug (I don’t want to break the machine or damage the plates)
TIA x Also did I read somewhere someone had advised keeping the same B plate for use at the top all the time?

Oh blow! I've lost some of my quotes. I'll do my best.

Jowri - Happy anniversary, enjoy whatever celebrations you've got planned.

Nesties - I've got the circles and ovals with the corresponding scallop ones, those were a must as I can't cut shapes - you should see my hearts :rotfl: . As someone's already said, squares and rectangles are easy enough to cut yourself but if you want fancy edged ones then you might consider those nesties. As for labels, I have labels 2 but there are others I like, I just went for the one I liked best on the day.

I have some celebrating to do, set up my facebook shop last night and this morning I have made a sale!!!

Fantastic, well done Gemm :T.

JHB Poor you, I hope the medication starts to ease your pain soon. I was going to say the same as Tired Mom and suggest Manuka Honey. I had a throat infection which affected my ear when DH was in isolation last October when he had his stem cell transplant and I wasn't allowed to go down to Bristol to visit him. Anyway, Dr gave me nothing to help so my DD brought me some Comvita Manuka honey (we can't get it where I live), it was UMF15, the higher the better really but it is a lot more expensive than ordinary honey. I was a lot better and able to visit the next week.

:j:j:j Yippee skippee! Craftwork Cards delivered this morning with a £7.50 voucher inside. What can I buy, what can I buy????????:rotfl:

I had one as well a couple of days ago, I really must go and have a look to see if there's anything else to tempt me.

Tired Mom Some of Carmim's images I have right clicked and saved to a folder on my computer then when I want to print them I import them into a document in Lotus Wordpro or Open Office and resize by clicking on the frame. Not sure if it's the ones you mean though.

I can't remember any more, sorry - don't know why all my quotes didn't show.

Who said they put their Nesties in CD cases? Do you have magnetic mats or what? I need to store mine and was wondering how best to do it.

DH's made a new spreadsheet now for the one that got overwritten and we can find the info we need although it's a lot of faffing about. I found out how it happened. Because there are copies in three places, the one being worked on gets "saved" and the other two are "save as" and then because it comes up with "this file already exists, do you want to replace/backup/cancel" I click replace then click the save box. DH highlights the file in the main box and then clicks save. It looks as though he highlighted the wrong file but will he admit it ..............!!! Anyway, not worth the arguement, it's almost sorted now.

Another lovely day here, I wish it was warm enough to put the plants out in the garden. Looks like I might have to clean the bedrooms then :eek: and maybe have a little play later.

Have a good day everyone.

mumoffour77 Sorry to hear about your aunt. It's scary but fingers crossed there won't be any damage and she'll be ok. My dad got his first Nintendo (game boy original) for his 70th birthday and he now has a ds, a playstation and a massive gamer pc. he puts us all to shame - even his grandsons :rotfl:

Wifey I am going to have to get you to show me how to play racing games - I always end up facing the wrong way and OH just laughs as he races past - what I don't understand is I can drive and he can't!! Maybe if I had a steering wheel and a set of peddals. I think I forget it's a game and I'm too cautious

I have just found a link to this tutorial on a blog - I thought it was cute and would look great on everyones craft desks. BE WARNED for those of you at work turn the sound down on your pc before opening it - or you'll get the same strange looks I've just got.

So who was it that sent me over to craftwork cards lol and how on earth did £40.00 worth of stuff end up in my basket
