I just got me some Elzybells stamps on ebay :j then realised as I was bidding it was someone on here selling them :rotfl:

Does anyone else have any unwanted elzybells stamps they want to sell to a new home? if so can you PM me please? I wish I had bought more when they were closing down!

Marg - in reply to your comment on my blog ... yes they were my last rolos, well at least they were the only 2 left by the time me and Maddison had sneakily ate the rest, she kept it a secret from Thomas as he was at school :rotfl:

:rotfl:I have brought some LOTV stamps from someone on here too! I think we should have a list with all our ebay names on Keep it in the MSE collective

Rusty i will be sending that parcel for you tomorrow, hopefully. I did that to my finger a few weeks ago and it still not right. Hurts doesn't it!

I can't remember anything i have read so apologies there.

betterlife Glad your LO is picking up phew! you must be so relieved. Congrats on your digi orders! Can I ask a cheeky question - do you draw them and scan them or draw them straight onto your comp - I've done a couple but I do them the first way and was wondering if it would be worth while buying a tablet and pen?

yes, i just draw them by hand on paper, you need to outline them with a good fine pen (i use gel pens from whsmiths) then scan, i have thought about getting graphics tablet, but i do like hand drawn it seems more individual as tablet drawings the lines are so perfect
i feel the way i do it gives a more stamped appearance if you no what i mean?? but i think i will prob get one sometime

Yeah I know what you mean - I don't want them looking too clean but I find when I scan them there's lots of little marks and I spend ages cleaning them up on Photoshop - that's why I was thinking about a tablet. Maybe it's the pens I'm using - thanks for the tips. :beer:

I think that may well have been me?? ... my ebay name is Tiers-4-Rears! LOL

Thanks I shall keep an eye out for it, and yes it is agony!! just had to wash up ... with 3 sandwich bags over my hand gripped round my wrist with a hair bobble!! lol

Peppop, just a thought but Memento do a double ended ink pen, I have one which I use for touching in bits of stamps if it doesn't stamp right, it has a fine end, and a brush end (like a copic) would something like that help you?

Off to bake some cookies ... I will get this silicone portion to work if it kills me!!! ... yesterday there was only enough mixture for 4 and it raised well over the top!! whoops!

Rusty your finger sounds really painful, glad it wasn't me who had to put the dressing on for you, cos I faint at the site of blood and you would have a job picking me up from the floor lol

Please stop talking about chocolate! I looove chocolate and I haven't had ANY since Christmas. Oooooo Rainmacs Rocky Road... yum......

PepPop

Rusty Thanks for that I'm off to order one :beer: (sings: ooooo you know me so well :rotfl:)

Flourgirl - I'm sorry I shouldn't be encouraging you - I mean apart from anything else I supposed to be on a diet No more choccy pics from me

OK I'm having a stoopid moment - am I right in saying that you use waterbased ink to use alcohol based pens and vice versa?? I've just notice that Joanna Sheen sell the fineliners I used to use for sketching and they're waterbased. AARGH I'm confused???!?!?

I am the seller of the stamps Had a clear out to make room for some new ones that I am bound to 'need' later in the year.

Whiff of Joy has discounts on stamps throughout the shop at the mo

I've been shopping this morning and bought a few bits for OH's birthday. Also treated myself to a new bag from Debenhams

Rusty, your finger sounds sooooo sore I once cut into my nail and finger chopping celery, I nearly passed out .

Hope everyone's ok xxx
