ooooooooohhhhhh melissa don't look. lol. I went on last week and bought the half price dovecraft scrapbook papers. Then i bought loads of stickers and a set of punches not bad though they were in a carrying case about 19 punches for 9.99 thought that was a bargain. n the twinkle writers for 4 quid for 4 are fab. i'm not addicted to buying stash honest. lol

I was very good - I resisted. Its free delivery over £10, so me being me, and not liking paying postage I would have had to spend over £10, I decided that after spending money yesterday I really shoudn't get anything else. They did have some nice stuff though - quite a few bits for under £1. Some cheap stamps as well for under £1.

Cheers for the kind words qwiky, as for the thing with Edilass.................she's obsessed with all things pink :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

guilty I'm afraid and embarrassed to say that yesterday someone was asking about mobile phones and I said well I just use mine as a phone and don't worry about a camera or MP3 player but didn't admit that my main criteria is it has to be pink

Not one of mine but wanted to share it with you.
My hubbys co worker made it for him because he is moving jobs





i supplied the picture (hes bike mad )she created the paper at the bottom on the computer

my point is although its really big and striking it was probably quick and cheap to make

since starting cardmaking i am overwhelmed by the amount and cost of special supplies and inspired to try not to use them so much

Hello all

I know I am late for aperture cards but I wanted to show you this, just finished stitching it for my mum's birthday later in May. I've also stitched a coaster and 2 plant pokes (stick-things you put in plant pots) and made one of the famous flannel cupcakes. Very 'handmade' present this year!

The card is quite simple/ minimalist but that's very me so hope you like it...



Yeyyyy, managed to beat the blooming computer and turn photo right way round!!!
