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

I've got a sub to Papercraft Inspirations and like Rainmac don't think I'll be renewing it. I think I'm going to sub to the cardmaking mag purely for the free gift.

I am going to sub to The Craft Stamper mag as I love it. I've been buying it monthly since February and am waiting for a decent subs offer to appear.

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

Well done, that's brilliant for £20 :T

Wanna-b-rich, huge good luck wishes for tomorrow xxx

I have some sad and some happy news. The challenge blog Magical Crafts is closing as the lady who originally set it up wants to shut it down The happy news is the lady who has been the boss on MCFC since I joined is setting up a new challenge blog and asked me to join her DT :j The Christmas in July challenge on Magical Crafts will be the last one on that blog x

Hello Carmim - haven't seen you on here for a longtime. Hope your OK.

Hi I am ok, Thanks for asking, just been a very busy time of year for me. 2 jobs, and lots of bike runs and party's going on at the mo! Had 2 bike seats to make for our chop and made myself a leather rucksack (must remember and take some pics of them!) I pop in from time to time just to keep up! Hope to get more involved when things quiet down for me. Cheers for now, Marion

Hi all
Gosh the thread has been busy again!
Just got back from DD sports day. It was overcast and cold. There was also a bit of rain, but luckily not too much.

Pootleflump - I brought a bigshot not long ago and love it - just need to build up my stock of dies!

Wannabrich - thanks for the printer link. We have been looking for a wireless printer and epson cartridges have always been reasonably priced - so I have brought one! Do you use original cartridges or do you get the compatible ones?

Giggle - Thanks for the link, I think I may be going shopping too!

PONR - welcome back, glad you had a good time.

Ali - well done on your win.

KMS26 - Was Papercraft Inspiration any good? Trying to be MSE and was looking at what subscriptions you can get from Tesco clubcard, and that was one of them.

Got to go and pick DD up from Cheerleading club now.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their day.

Hassey I might go to the Doncaster show, my friend asked me ages ago, can't remember if she wanted to go on the friday though.

Has anyone had anything from Payper Box, for some reason I missed it at the NEC, I was thinking patterned card for boxes etc.
