First of all I'd like to say a BIG Thankyou to both CT19702 & Gemm85 for the butterflys Its so lovely to receive something in the post so grogeous & it not be a bill :T

CT19702 - Your butterflys & the card are gorgeous too Am defo considering the machine now, especailly as Emma liked that style of card so much Did you Emboss the card as well? & how long do the blades tend to last on the craft robo? Sorry for all the questions

Hi Crafty JuJu - glad the card and butterflies arrived safely. I didn't use the the craft robo to emboss the card, as you can only cut and draw with it - not aware of any machines like this that emboss. I did the embossing with a dvine swirl cuttlebug folder that I bought from the glitterpot. I have yet to need a replacement cutter - had the machine since Christmas so not sure how long they should last. I've had to get a new carrier sheet, as they loose their stickiness very quickly.

Hope this helps.

OH is playing on his PS3 so I am having a play on online craft shops Have just bought myself a martha stewart punch around the page punch, hope I can use it

Rusty Oh dear so sorry I didn't mean anything by that regarding the ribbons it's just all I have is some yucky stripy things I bought when I first started and some organza (can't spell!!) so am after lots more, sorry didn't mean to imply anything by that. Still hunting through the on line shops

I am making a couple of cards and doing MIL mothers day card, thought I would be clever and cut something out to stick on my card but it's taking me forever :eek:

Hi all - apologies for going AWOL - I've had an awful couple of days - think I'm just about getting my head around things at the mo but don;t be surprised if I disappear again for a while. I'm getting plenty of crafting done as a distraction but just don't have the motivation to blog or post on the forums. Don't worry though I'm still reading and have been so inspired by all your recent makes.
Have forced myself to blog this evening - the address is on my profile.
Also, a quick heads up - Home Bargains seems to be getting some crafty stuff in again according to the ukscrappers girls includeing the chaapecutter with mat and some templates for £2.99. None in the Sheffield store today but keep your eyes peeled. I did get a bargain there today though - you can see it on my blog.

Well done Hassy on your first sale - I've had a couple lately, and it makes you feel so fab.

Well done too on your win Lyndach - look forward to finding out what the new Challenge you set will be.

Glad you had a good day Rusty.

Congratulations to you DS bunbun on passing his grading.

Mary - good luck to OH for tomorrow.

Off to blog hop, and then an early night xx

Cards are beautiful macma, I wasnt able to comment on your blog, perhaps your setting are set to not allow comments. If you want to change this go to your dashboard, click edit posts, click edit, click post options, tick allow then publish post. It would be such a shame not to have comments on those beautiful cards
