Sorry but I have to laugh at this :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: you are trying to be more composed .... yet you come in here and share your fantastic news with all of us :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well yeah... I'm only human.... Had to share with some people... :rotfl:

Oh and Melissa, I completely see where you're coming from... I found a cuttlebug on eBay last night for £50 and OH was complaining about the price (even though I didn't buy it!) I had to remind him it was only a few £ more than he's happy to spend on games for the xbox....

Krystaltips - I think that if he spends x amount on going out then I shall spend x amount on craft stuff. He doesn't really complain. I see it as at least I have something to show for the money whereas all he has is a hangover!
I've already spent 15 pounds this morning. I stumbled across this site during one of my searches: http://www.bedazzleddesigns.com/?shop_empty=1 . They mainly sell embellishments and toppers but the prices are quite reasonable. I got 5 metres of ribbon for under 50p. Also picked up a few wooden embellishments that I have never used before. Postage is free for orders over 15quid, normally its 1.99. They also sell packs of 100 little red pom poms for 1.20 and some wiggly eyes for those making the flannel reindeers.

I would like instructions on making pop up cards as I would like to have a go for ds1's birthday. however...may change my mind whan I see the instructions:rotfl: what is a score board and ultimate crafters companion - I have neither:D do I need them or can I make them without?
glad you are feeling a bit better polly

Thanks bunbun2 a score board is a board where you score all shapes of cards ie your normal sized cards through to your gate folds concatinas and tri folds the ultimate crafters companion does all that plus your boxes envelopes and it has embossing shapes on it and your pop out shapes plus it has a paper trimmer. But you dont have to have any of these boards to do a pop out card when i made my first pop outs i didnt have any of the boards it just makes it a little easier thats all i will do the instructions with out the board ok? xxxx

I've got the ultimate crafters companion, the instructions actually tell you how to do the pop out card...
