im loving the ideas on this thread. have just ordered some christmas embellishments from ebay to sit and have a play with.

I did several craft fairs last year, doing snowman soup and reindeer food among other things, and the stock I had left I sold to my work colleagues. Several of them have come to me this year so far and said am I doing anything else? I wasn't planning on doing so, but this thread has given me lots of new ideas.

*waves to craftygranny and cottonwoolkatie* Im in Hoyland!! isnt it a small world??

OOOOOOhhh very small world . Hello .:D

The SU punches have gone up £3 ea for the scallop & circle that I want....really £3. Bit much I think for a redesign of the body.

I have also been looking at scalloped punches as I want to use them for the tops of bags that I was going to fill with sweeties, but I found them quite expensive also! my mum has a sizzix machine so she told me to look for something to fit it, but not having much luck!

I have so many ideas of things to make thanks to this forum, everyone is so kind and I would just like to thank you all for all your help advice you have given! its nice to see so many kind people! I however am not very creative so don't have any ideas, but if I do come up with anything I'll make sure and let you know!

Im so excited as Im going stash shopping later... woohooo :jeven dragging OH with me!! he will be so impressed..not!! but needs must!! I have quite a few things I need, so poundland is my first stop!! Then hopefully come home and craft til my hearts content!

Anybody doing anything nice this weekend?

Lisa told me they were going up in price and i just managed to squeeze my order in before they went up. Having said that they are well worth the money even at the new price. I've got the new catalogue and i'm tempted by loads they have a fab bird punch.

For the sizzix you could use nestabilities i have labels one four and eight and have used them on different sized packages. They can be around 15 pounds a set but you do get several different sizes. I use mine in the cuttlebug but they work with sizzix too.
I just bought the punches as i found it quicker to punch the circles than cut them on the bug. I do cut the bag toppers with the labels dies though like these.

x-cut do a range of scalloped and circle nesting punches. They are about £4 for the 1 inch and then £8 for the 2 inch,. I saw them in the Range a couple of weekes ago, so these might be an option for the cost conscious (sp??) crafter.

Have you used M&M's in the top of your Snowman Soup? I was going to explore different options with different sweets M&Ms being one of them!

CG I wish I'd bitten the bullet & ordered them off Lisa but kept thinking I'll use my nesties, as we do. I do think £3 price hike is steep though.
Labels 8, need to order those as I always think to do it tomorrow!!!! but looking for the cheapest & any codes as school is paying so want to save them some £££.
