Wahoo Im up and running again now with a printer.
I got the DCP135 from Staples for £39.99 so the saving paid for all my white A4 card I needed to buy which was on BOGOF so 200 sheets for £7.99 bargain!!
Thank CraftyGranny for the suggestion and the links I have ordered the ink from them and its 2 full sets for £15...all in all a good day spending and good value for money.
Just need a Cuttlebug now if anyone find one for a tenner can you let me know :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Also I have updated the photobucket site now over 700 papers 250 frames 300 decoupage 100 inserts and soon 250 envelopes + letters and numbers all matching and Inc some contempary christmas stuff if anyone doesnt have suitable stuff for the challenge
I have also loaded a sitting ted card which looks really good when done and a few card on cards which you will find in decoupage
Help yourselves

Still reading my way through this great thread :j I've just booked to go on a one day card making course at a local college - am hoping it will kick start me and give me loads of ideas. Many thanks to everyone who's posted such great ideas here :j

Bunbun2 - great power rangers card, you're really on a roll with these pop up cards!
Abusybee - lovely cards, I love the purple on the xmas card, and the red shoe is very clever.
Hi sweetnskint and frugalpam.
Saveapenny - you are lovely for storing all those images for us.
Well I was in smug mode today. I wanted to make a little bow to stick on something and I remembered there's a bit of kit you can buy where there's 2 sticks sticking up that you use to tie a bow. Well I improvised amd held a pair of scissors against the table with my knee and opened them slightly. I tied the ribbon around the prongs, did my loops and hey presto I had made a little bow! If anyone wants to use this idea I have copyrighted it so you have to pay me, if you ask nicely I might let you off!

Melissa ...if you need to make a small bow try this as well works great for small bows http://dianagibbs.typepad.com/stampin_with_di/2008/06/lets-fork.html
