Afternoon ladies, hope you are all well :-) Well I have left my downloads today before I do any more damage and oh is going to have a look tonight when he comes in from work - I have realised though that I can do the size alterations when I go to print - doh!! However, am on the cadge!! Does anyone have available that they could poss. email me with it was a freebie in March from Pollycraft called Cody (I did have it and now lost it) - thanks in advance.

craftygranny - thanks for the freebie link.
Melissa - I did my first embossing the other day - will prob. blog it later as I needed some ribbon - but I thought I needed silicone rubber pad stuff as well, but I think that is if the embosser is brass - this was plastic from Little claire designs and you put the paper in between the two pieces of plastic (that are joined at one end) (could be similar to cuttlebug embossing things) and put it through and it was fine -no rubber needed. Hope that makes sense!!
addams - your blog and card are fab!!

Ali - thanks for the advice - it makes perfect sense!!! That's the folder I've got - one with a hinge in the middle - I've no idea where I put it though!

Melissa - I have just blogged mine - and had another go - right - card inbetween the plastic(the plastic on mine isnt too thick), cutting pads as normal and onto tab 1 and through the roller.

Hope it works for you (gulp) I thought I used tab 2 but wouldnt go through so didnt force it if it felt to hard to turn.

Off to an Ann summers party tonight which should be fun but there is a slight twist, it is a lesbian one! I don’t know what or if there will be any difference in ones I have been to before but I really am not looking forward to my 2 friends dressing up in outfits!! The image maybe burnt onto my eyes forever

It will be a laugh any way. Been looking for ideas for more little gifts for my craft fair next week. Don’t have to be baby related as I have enough baby little gifts. Well not made up as I sold my last lot of stock. I also need to make some cheap baby cards but as with everything i leave things so late as i need cello bags ans some other bit and bobs like smoothie cup for a baby shower the say before the craft fair but it will pushing it for time to order things on line.

Ali - I haven't tried it yet - I still can't find the embossing folder - its the only one that I've got - a star one - why are you panicking?????? I had a nosey on your blog and your embossing looks fab!!!!

Louby-Lou-Lou - hope you have fun - I'm with Ali - I went to an Ann Summers party once and I was soooo embarrassed - I think it was worse because I didn't know anyone!

Melissa - just a bit worried incase it doesnt work for you - can think why it shouldnt though - sound like similar sorts of folders.
