I've got QVC on as well, I loved the foiled acetate with the topper on the front, WOW, how classy these cards looked.
Can I justify spending so early in the day.....good job I am going to a wedding at lunch time!!

Just put QVC on... Can't buy anything though... OH is off down Tesco... He lovingly and thoughtfully bought me a card making magazine the other day.... But it's papercraft inspirations which I subscribed to for £1 (still haven't had my free gift!) so he's off to change it for me, if I'm lucky I might get Let's make cards!!

i ended up spending about £50 on qvc! i changed my mind on the 'todays special value' - much as it looked nice, not sure i would use it! so i bought two pads of glitter paper (an 8x8 and a 12x12) for £18 - i googled first and could only find for total of £35!!! also got 12 packs of adhesive ribbon from papermania for £10 and 9 embossing pens and two pots of embossing powder for £16ish. all in all not bad. i always have a hunt on the net for prices on qvc stuff in case its way overpriced - some is but some is quite reasonable.

hope you got some good stuff in the craft shop polly and hope you got your LMC magazine Krystaltips!!

I did get the todays special value, I had it in my basket twice and decided i didnt need it but then when it was threatened with limited stock I panicked. I particularly like the pyramage and the idea of the foiled acetate idea...has anyone seen anywhere else selling the foiled acetate sheets?
Wonder when the package will arrive......

My OH is fantastic, no wonder I'm marrying him... I didn't just get Let's make cards, I got Quick cards made easy, Craft beautiful and Lets get crafting!

I can see what I'll be doing after church tomorrow!!!
