Rainmac - your MIL sounds a bit like mine! I try to imagine that the things said aren't meant the way I take them!

Soma - thanks for the link. I've been trying to order a couple from Crafts & Me for the last month, but the ones I want are always out of stock! So I peeped at the sale stuff on your link and Uh Oh some fell into my basket - I've got 11 images and 6 sentiments coming for £19.36 and best of all I paid using money I earnt on eBay selling some unwanted clutter, so effectively they were free. That means I still have some real pennies to spend at Crafts & Me on OnyxXpressions stamps when they come back into stock.:D

Craftgirl - I think you need to colour the stamp in using marker pens. If you have the papermania waterbrush pens, you simply colour the stamp in your chossen colours and then huff on the stamp to re-moisten the ink before stamping the image. hth

The-Wife - twas me who set the new challenge, "try a new technique", I'll add you to the list.:D

Defo ga-ga then!! Ta! WBR

Rusty when you get the flock get it to fluff up by lifting and dropping it in a little bowl and it's packed pretty solid. What ever you do, DON'T sneeze

I don't mind waiting, I've enough bits to keep me occupied for now. I must admit I was a bit worried that the postage would suddenly hike up, but tbh it would have to be a considerable hike to make it not worthwhile! Have you had any of the grab bags? I normally steer clear of things like that, but figured that if I get some that aren't me I can always sell them on!

Can anyone give me some help please on my blog. As I lost my background thought I'd better look elsewhere if for no other reason than to get rid of the photobucket deleted image. I've gone with cutest as it was a name I recognised. I have ended up with loads of little images of screwdrivers and spanners next to the different sections i.e my photo, details, followers etc I have also got the word voting under my blog name which I certainly didn't have before. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks X

I didn't get any grab bags - I have so many that I'm bound to get doubles
don't forget you can win some on this challenge too

screwdrivers etc don't show when people see your blog they are just for editing - try the view blog option or signing out to check.

The spanners aren't visable by me - but I've got them on my blog, it's so that you can edit that particular part. I've no idea what the vote thing is at the top though sorry.

I follow this blog, but can't enter the challenges atm as I don't own any of the stamps (I've only been making cards since January and am slowly building my stash). Once mine arrive I will definately be entering. Have a feeling that lots of practice with colouring will be required though!

Off to bed now, so I'll say nite nite to all you night owls.
