    Well done to all the winners!

    Hanb, i found when i first started buying some of the card magazines are a good help. Let's make cards always has a large set with it that you can usually make 20-40 cards with It is £7.99 though.
    Do you want to get into Rubber stamping or just the basic cardmaking? I definately agree with Wifey to sign upto newsletters and also have a look on ebay, some bargains on there!

    If you pm me your address i will send you a few bits from my ever growing stash.

    HanB - welcome!
    Hobbycraft can be expensive! Accumulating stash can be costly but if you have a printer and good quality paper there are lots of freebies to be found you can colour images in 'Paint' on your pc if you haven't got Promarkers. If you live near a Home Bargains, Poundland, or the Works you can find crafty bits there too. HTH

    Thanks everyone - it's true, you are all lovely :D

    I'm spending my lunch break hunting down some freebies. And i'll check out poundland at the weekend. I live in Bristol so I should imagine there's a lot more around that i don't know about!

    I don't have promarkers yet but i'm trying to keep my eye out for a good deal on them as i've heard they're the bees knees. I do have some pens that i will try and use though until i can find that deal!

    Hiya - quite a few places in the Bristol area - not sure where you are but there is a Hobbycraft at Cribbs, The Range at St Phillips (by Showcase Cinema), there is Poundland in Broadmead, a craft shop in Kingswood on the High Street and I believe there is one on Gloucester Road. I'm sure there are many more but these are the main ones that I know about.

    Oo thanks! I'm in Redland - just off Whiteladies road. I think there's a little craft shop off blackboy hill that I was going to check out at the weekend. I found Hobbycraft already - spent too much money in there - it's dangerous!
