You Can Craft which is where I got the idea's for the two cards I made is out now, it only just came out on the 20th which was Monday. Has a nice little kit free with it which includes 2 blocks of Fimo, ribbons, a gold gel pen, card blanks etc.

Thought I would add that I find You Can Craft really easy to follow and they have all the templates in the back or you can print them out online if you don't like cutting your magazine up

Anyone recommend where I can get some letters from ? I got some really nice ones from our craft shop - mixture of rust/red, mustard, beige and off-white - really good type of script too. Can't find the packet they were in so must have thrown it out but they were peel off types and when I went to our craft shop for some more they didn't have any and doesn't seem like they're getting any more in either !
I googled like mad yesterday but couldn't find anything, hence the request

Just wanted to tell everyone about a sale that's on. Its at http://www.heidihicrafts.com/index.php?pr=Home_Page
postage is 1.95. She sells mainly embellishments, there's loads of paper flowers and ribbon really cheap. Plus I got some flat backed gems, I think it was 50 for 50p. Plus A6/c6 card blanks in cream or white with an envelope are 10p each. I've ordered the flowers before but never the card blanks so I'm not sure what thickness the card is, but for 10p each I thought it was worth buying a few anyway. Plus she has wired butterflies for 30p each and some nice sparkly buckles that would look great on a special project with some ribbon through. I spent 23.00 - oops!
Mary - what size letters were you after? I posted a link a few pages ago for a shop on ebay that has a lot of Karen Foster stickers, but she also sells alphabets for 99p. Would you like me to find a link?
Ikkle87 - great cards! I still haven't really made a start on my xmas cards.

Ooooooh you lucky devil Polly, I'm envious I want a cuttlebug, really like the look of the ultimate crafters companion that was mentioned the other night.

For some reason photobucket keeps making safari go funny so have tried to use tinypic instead .


Hopefully you can tell its a polar bear looking up at the starry winter sky
