You shouldnt be embarrased rainmac you should be proud of yourself hun :j :j What did you win ? xxxx

£50 apparently :j :j :j :j :j

Going to spend it on my boys for Xmas pressies (I assume it's money not money saving coupons or something else???). My second thought was to blow it all on lovely crafty stuff for me but I would rather spend it on them and see their faces light up on Xmas day with mountains of parcels

Thought i would make you all laugh this morning oh and give you some advice at the same time When buying stazon ink you must buy stazon cleaner Why i hear you ask because it does exactly what it says on the tin it blooming well stays on :rotfl: :rotfl: i thought baby wipes cleaned off all types of ink off your stamps well i was wrong and now ive had to fork out more money to buy this silly little cleaner and a tiny little bottle is £5.10 day light robbery if you ask me :rotfl: at least !!!!!! turpin at the decency to wear a blooming mask :rotfl:

£3.75 here

surely there as to be a good alternative after all its only a solvent cleaner
Wonder if lighter fliud would work?...it works on tar so I would have thought it would do the job . It might be worth trying it on a old stamp that you dont use

Just spoke with OH and he rekons any white spirit will do the same job but wash the stamp after but again if you try it try it on a old satmp you dont use any more or a bit of cut off from stamp sheets

Well done Rainmac you deserve it ...your help is fantastic :T :T :T :T :T

Think it's a great idea Polly, I'd love to have a go at a pop out card but wouldn't know where to start!

Congratulations rainmac!:beer:

Pop out cards sounds like a good idea for a challenge, but I will need instructions.

I was home early from work today (due to a doctor's appointment - all is well), so thought, great, time to make cards, but so far I've spent the time finishing the riviting chick lit novel I was reading (couldn't put it down), and then tidying up while watching the craft stuff on Ideal World (again). Will hopefully get some cards done this evening (have agreed to do MILs Christmas cards, have a design, glad I've got a few months to do it though!) if I can distract husband with something!
