Which mag are you all singing praises of?

Cardmaking and papercraft you get a My Mind's Eye paper stack with it - Very Nice 36 sheets of summer papers, tags and motifs

And i brought Papercraft Inspirations today and with that you get 8 ready to decorate shaped cards 2 each of cat, house, butterfly and present. Very nice too!! :T

Does anyone else buy any of the other craft magazines? Do you recommend any? :T

Rainmac - What weight did you get? I have some of the Rymans card and it bleeds!

I got coated card so that shouldn't bleed (I am hoping!), it's smooth like the Craftwork Cards stuff but think it's a bit thiner and lots cheaper .

Huge well done to Ali :j

Welcome home PONR

I buy them occasionally but tend to be disappointed with the contents. I currently subscribe to Crafts Beautiful and Papercraft Inspirations but don't think I will renew either subscription. I think there's loads more inspiration online for free to be honest

Toms mum - thanks for that have emailed them - I cant believe I missed it was me especially when congratulated you and happy days!!! what an eejit - knowing my luck I will have missed my prize!!!

Hassy

Kms Thanx for that... I get Making Cards occasionally and Creative cardmaking and the Do Crafts one , although, saying that I haven't got the most recent ones..
The card mags is where I get the voucher codes from to post on here... don't know if that is allowed..??? I have got away with it so far...

Hassy - I didn't know there was any codes for them on here, will definately have a look at that, I only really brought these as i have just started out any thought it would be a good idea for some inspiration but Rainmac is right i have found quite alot online

Tomsmom it was on a price comparison site, i will try and find it

PepPop

Hello lizalloareds Nice to meet you. I've just become a follower on your blog. You can find mine in the usual place but be warned it's feeling sorry for itself - I've not even looked at it for about a month and a half - bad PepPop!

Lei Your create a scene stamp is stunning!!

WBR I did have problems with mine - the ink dried up in but it was because I could only get a compatible cartridge at the time. But nice Mr T gave me a new printer exactly the same to replace it as they said that shouldn't have happened and it must have been a faulty jet. I use whatever paper I can get at the time in mine and it works great. I also use it for BG paper and card and haven't had any problems. Hope your appointment is a cancellation. Did you get in touch with them yet?

ali CONGRATULATIONS:j:T:j

wanna-b-rich

Finally managed to get thorugh to the hospital and I expalined that I was ringing to confirm my attendance and was it a cancellation appointment I was being offered - the girl who answered thanked me for confirming that I'd attend, but told me that she had no idea wether it was a cancellation or consultant request, so still none the wiser! I'm going to assume its a cancellation or I'll worry myself silly.

Giggle thanks for the link, I'm really glad it keeps crashing (for me anyway) cos that way I won't spend any money.

Ali-B - congratulations. I'm sure that wasn't there when Dragonlew posted, I'm sure I only saw Tomsmums name and I managed to totally missed my own initially! I think I'm going to subscribe then - would seem rude not too.

Lei - well done on the weightloss and thanks for the link, I have a fairy stamp from there, but I'm going to have another look through as I didn't realise they did a complete scene one.

Flourgirl - your easel card is gorgeous and you have been added to the list.

Choccy - I've added you to my list. The acetate looks brilliant and I love your card.

Hassy - Cardmaking & Papercraft. If you sub you get a Sizzix Texture Boutique and folders and few other bits n bobs. They've already given away 2 MME paperstacks this year, so in my mind that combined with the above subs gift means the mag is free:rotfl::rotfl:

louby-lou-lou

I went shopping today at a retail park and they had a hobby craft so it would have been rude not to go in and spend the odd £20 lol
For that i got 1x spring 5 pk promarkers 1x pk summer promarkers 1x tag punch 2x stamp pads 1x large thank you stamp and 1 x Hawthorn & Bramble Clear mounted stamps with 18 different stamps to make a picture scene or use on their own.

All reduced so very MSE and some things that had a blue cross on were a further 30% off sale price :j
