    lol believe me it was our pleasure. If you can't spend your own money may as well help your friends spend theirs . :rotfl::rotfl:

    Jeez, should I order or not? I don't want to miss out but don't want to be stuck with 2 sets of punches.

    Does anyone know what Grafton's are like for return's?

  • I have been making a kitchen organiser board (of sorts) for Dad for Christmas ... I am having trouble with my little calendar I printed off. I stuck each month to a post-it note so they would be easy to take off when the month was over ... You guessed it, the sticky post-it notes are failing miserably!
    The better half has come up with the idea of punching a hole in them, so they are tear-off months ...
    Anyone else have any other ideas as the calendar is small, so a hole punched in it, will take a big chunk out of the months ...

    Thanks in advance :o

    Same here - I logged onto the Picnik site and got totally confused. Grafton crafts are really quick so you should get them very early next week. Have a good weekend away


    Guys don't let the many options on picnik confuse you. I followed a tutorial the first time i used it as i'm really tecnically challenged!!. The link to the tutorial is on my blog but i'm not allowed to put my blog details in this post (sorry Mrs T i didn't know that before you told me:o). You can click on my profile and get to my blog from there though.

    but i'll try and give some easy instructions (be warned i'm rubbish at this!!)
    1)click on college tab once you have entered the website
    2)Now this next bit is a bit of a guess to me but basically leave the 4 square grid on the page if you want a label or tag or maybe click on the 2 squares on the basic option from the left of the screen if you want a topper.
    3)on the left where you have differnet options like basic,spacing etc click on the square next to the spacing bar which will then let you change the colour of your item.
    4)Then click on done which is one of the tabs on the right hand side of the screen
    5)then click on sticker tab to chose pics for your design and text to add text etc. this is the point where you play around
    6)when you are happy with what you have done choose the sace and share tab to the right hand side at the top of the screen. This lets you save it to your pc and then you can insert it into word as a picture and stretch it etc and print it off.

    Those instructions are probably as clear as mud so if you are still stuck have a look at the tutorial link on my blog or just send me a message:D
