Damn Lidl and their lovely ribbon! lol! I went in for a bargain but I'm not sure buying 6 rolls counts as a bargain :rotfl:

Have just posted up this weeks DT project on my blobbit if anyone is interested - it's a great challenge this week which saw me go crazy with the glitter glue lol!!

Also just popped a whole load of pics up on my FB page as I've been going through my Making Cards magazines and using the free papers & toppers they include I love the step by step tutorials they give you for the different cards you can make with the bits they provide Of course I did have to tweak a couple of bits - didn't have any yellow spotty ribbon :mad: :rotfl:

Did anyone see that Craft Dragon Machine on C & C yesterday. Tres expensive but a brilliant machine if you're into bulk weddings etc. It did hot foiling, diamontes on clothes and precision stamping which for me was the most interesting but at over £300 squids!! Ouch! Worth a watch if they have a video uploaded.

Have a good day everyone.

I went and had a wee look. I'm not that impressed for the price I have to say, seems high

Speaking of things with high pricetags...!

I got a tax rebate today, and although the sensible person hiding inside me thinks I should save it, the crafter in me is thinking about a new machine. I quite like the idea of an electronic cutter, but having had a wee google there appears to be loads I like the idea of the Cricut machines, but there are loads of them ranging from a Mini for around £120 to an Expression for £350+ :eek::eek:

Does anyone have one of these, are they worth it and what's the best one to buy?!

Thanks

Flyin, I've got the little Green Cricut which I use mainly for cutting letters and cupcake wrappers ( I do lots of them!!) and fancy flourishes. I like mine but I have to admit that I do buy the cartridges for it from the US from ebay where they are half the price of what you would pay over here. I won't pay more than £20-25 inc postage for a cartridge but the seller has thousands to choose from. I'm not keen on the animal or Disney cartridges only 'cos they're just not what I would make. Provocraft are good in that if you have a Gypsy too you can down load a freebie cartridge now and again. I got mine from C & C because they are registered with Provocraft as a main dealer and often have recon machines too. Ok, you may find one cheaper but do they have the back up of a large company.

I had one of the ones that are run from a computer but I just couldn't get on with it but I'm sure it's flourgirl who has one of those.

Hi cg!

I like the idea of it for lettering/personalising things/flourishes, but don't know if it's an awful lot of money to pay for something that lets face it I won't use every day.

I'm going to the SECC in a couple of weeks (WOOO!), do you think that there will be stalls selling them that would have demos? Youtube is all well and good, but I can't cope with some of the "perkier" demonstrators
