ok so, on this blog: http://melissa75-melsmess.blogspot.com/(Mel's Mess - who I know is an MSE'r), I love the top card and the little girl stamp/print/cut out, how was the little girl done? I have loads of promarkers from my graphics degree, so colouring in isn't a problem - just getting the image in the first place is!

Hi Helen
I think Mel buys her own stamps and stamps the images herself.
My cards are made more with free images and backing papers printed off the internet,check out my homepage:D,there again ,I'm an OAP and cant really spend a lot on stamps and such,I use my bit of pocket money to get little bits and embellishments off fleabay:eek:
even my printer was off them.:D
hope this helps,you can spend loads if you want to...........

Well what I have used so far it seems pretty good, you have to make sure the surface you are using is completely flat, I have a rather bumpy craft board which it doesn't like so i have to use a table and then tend to run over and ink the table too!

Thank you so if I buy it I will tell hubby you told me I had to lol (you get off lightly my friend told me to buy the Gypsy lol). I am lucky that i have a craft room so lots of lovely work top to use

Thank you

welcome Helen
I think most of us stamp and colour in images. I like stamps because you can stamp them over and over and you can't use them up LOL

ahhhh ok, well I don't like stamping because; despite buying the proper ink (ink it up) and a tonne of different stamps, they still don't look like sharp edges also sometimes the ink bleeds into the paper (what paper is best?)... then with Christmas stamps, some of them still smudged in the post all in all not good. BUT I love yours! So I want to copy and amend to make them mine...

Hi ladies

Hugs to Rusty and her OH for taking her stash shopping

I still can't sit at the table to craft, but have realised my blog is very neglected, so will try and take photos this week of cards I've made while I've been awol.

I know someone mentioned a Liverpool craft fair - there's one at Aintree on 20 -22 May

Hugs to anyone who needs one x

My whole stash is very neglected but i'm hoping sorting it all out and redoing the craftroom will bring some much needed inspiration.
