Rainmac, I've not heard of those before I'll have a look, thanks.

Waana-b-rich I was thinking an embossing pen but I wasn't sure where to get any from, do you know any stockists? I'd not even thought about getting letter stamps.
I will be embssing the champagne glasses, which is why my first choice would be embossing the wording too.

Thank you both for your help

If you get the Versamark pen its really good, it's clear and double ended. I get mine from here. Alternatively I think the Papermania one is perfectly OK, but has a light blue tint to it, you should be able to get that from your local stockist. Also, if you get the alphabet stamps you could heat emboss them. hth

Morning all - and welcome Lexxi!

Wanna-b-rich - that really was an epic post!

Up early and raining here - you'd never guess it was a BH weekend (can't find a roll eyes smilie to put in here!)

I had a lovely little order of some more goth style bits and pieces to go with my Sweet Pea stamps. It was beautifully wrapped with a personalised label inside. The shop was Craftz Boutique - they are near me but I don't think they do walk ins! I got some just beautiful black goth pattern flocked paper - don't know if I'll be able to cut it though!

Swindon are in the play offs today - not going but I'm sure we'll be wathcing this afternoon - fingers crossed everyone please!

Meant to say - I've got small deckled rectangle nesties that I just never use - so if anyone wants them let me know.

Ali - yep - I ended up getting myself the big shot for my birthday in April. I really like it - its so easy to use!!! I haven't got many dies for it yet though!

Rainmac - here it is!!! I might get the scalloped ovals from there - trouble is then I'll have to get the matching plain ovals from somewhere else!

Rusty - your hedgehog card is fab - the flower soft is really effective!

Lexxi - hi and welcome to the thread!!!!!

I'll be back in a minute with some offers!
