Sorry FF - thought you meant some other way!

Here's mine...I just used stickers and did them quite simply as knew William might wake up any minute and come routing through my stash (the horror!!!).

PAP - I have a guillotine and it's been invaluable! I remember what it was like with just scissors and a craft knife and it takes so little time in comparison!

:rotfl: sea, it wasnt really planed as pink/black but thats kinda my fav colours at the moment and most of the thinngs i layed my hands on were pink :rotfl: as for whats next, i really want to scrap oldman but i want a pic of his urn to go into it so cant do that for a week... so i think i will scrap me and mum next as babys although not 100% sure. I would like to scrap my feelings too, i know that sounds a little awful but i guess if i can get it out on paper it may free up my head :rotfl: i am getting low on card stock though... i seem to hord paper but not card :rolleyes:

I got a huge pack of white A4 cardstock from Asda - think it's about £2.99.
Then you can just lay out your papers.

I've got a guillotine that i never use, i just can't seem to get it right which i put down to being left handed. I'd much prefer to use a scalpel which is my usual tool of torture lol.
I love your layout pap, i still think that my stuff is very beginnerish and not proper scrapbooking, despite what people tell me.
Do any of you have The Range near you? it's leathal but has loads of crafting stuff at reasonable prices. Ok i retract that statement it's the last thing we all need to know lol

lemon tree, i promise you yours will look way better than mine, untill today i just used to do stuff and give it as prezzies or people would ask me to make something for someone else but i never got feedback and never saw anyone else's work so knowing everyone on here scraps is a joy to me... would love to see others work...

as for the range yes we have got one in bristol however i have never been there ~ it is online though http://www.therange.co.uk/ so will have a gander in a minute i get most of my stuff from hobby craft and ranjanis (an asian store in bristol that sells everything and anything) but with ranjanis if you want something you have to buy it that day as the following week they may not have it... so i only go when i have some spending cash. I also buy from ebay a lot but that works out expensive.

the problem with me is i love rub offs and peel offs and i buy embellishments seperatly so havent felt the need for a die cutting machine ~ untill now :rotfl: i seem to be spending loads on letters/words where a machine at a fraction of the cost can make them over and over again. Also dare i say it i havent tryed embossing yet and stamping i am not all too keen on but i shall try them at a later date.

scrapbooking/card making is addictive :rotfl:
