hi all, sorry I've been missing for a while, havent managed to get a minute to myself and unfortunately when I do get chance to go online I have to catch up with my DT Comments, aaagghh! it's like swimming through treacle at the moment! anyway sorry for my moan, I'm really going to try and catch up on here at the weekend. sending big hugs to everyone xxx
my weekend at the NEC was fab, I didnt do much demoing in the end as it was so manic with people buying stuff they needed me on the tills, which I was happy to do as I love nosing at what other people were buying! it was so much fun and they asked me if I'd be free for the March show, so fingers crossed! Anyway must go get ready for my day job now...! hopefully chat more at the weekend xxx

:j Yay I got chosen :j or should it be we got chosen!! Thanks Marg for letting me know.

There's two of me at the moment, one who's brain is buzzing and hyper and needing about 4 hours sleep and the other me who dragging her sorry backside along trying to catch up with the brain. Yeuch! Steroids, I hate 'em.

Congrats on a fab weekend, Gemm, you never know we may see you yet on Create and Craft TV.

Hello all,

I'm after some advice if possible.. I'm trying to get in to card making and I've made a couple but due to my limited supplies I found myself getting a little bored as all the cards were looking very similar..

I get the impression that you need quite a lot of bits and pieces to start off with but I don't really have the money right now to go and buy lots more. So I wondered, if you have any tips on how to get started without spending lots of money. I've already been and got some bits from Hobbycraft and I’ve acquired some more bits and pieces but still not all that much.

Looking at some blogs I see that they are some very talented people on here so I’m hoping someone might be able to help..

A craft mat a good metal ruler, sharp knife , endless supply of double sided tape and good cardstock . If you have a printer there are lots of free backing papers and images out there to be had. Images here , papers here .

Thrifty welcome back.

Your ES mints looks fab - mine are small as my scallop punch is smaller than the SU ones but I think they look ok!

Congrats to the latest winners!!

It's blowing a gale here and raining heavily. I have to pop down the road to the PO later so hope it stops for a while!!!

Hope everyone is ok.

hanb, have a visit to the online craft shops and sign up for their newsletters, that way you'll be in first when the bargains come along, 50% off, free postage etc. Also, pop in here regularly as we often post about freebies and bargains we find on the net (assuming you have a printer) and I've found loads of craft shops through recommendations from the brilliant people on here, we are a really nice and very friendly bunch.

Tell us what you like, papers styles colours etc. I have to warn you this can be one of the most un-MSE places to be.
