Hi Jean if you still have your Cuttle Bug offered. I would love it. As you can imagine we have no craft stores here in Cyprus so craft tools are hard to come by. Your Cuttle Bug would be great to share with crafters here. If it's yes let me know postage and I'll send you a cheque or transfer monies to your internet banking.....I don't have Paypal .

Win I have sent you a P.M.

Glad you liked the cards Jean. The Puffy stickers were in the children's craft section of the Range and were £1 a sheet, I made five cards from them for charity.

I am due to get into Range next week there are some household stuff we need, so will have a look for the puffy toppers, ....
I have made six cards , I used the e-bosser to do some 5x5 cards with the new dies, I had loads of envelopes but no cards , lots of card stock so good way to use them up... I also took pics so I will send them when darling daughter puts them on for me....

love Jean xx <3

OK Jean. I now have the Papermania case for holding dies and it is excellent. I couldn't see it in Hobbycraft so used an Amazon voucher to buy it. Then they had them in The Range for the same price. Luckily I had it post free from Amazon, ordered Saturday and delivered Monday. Just need to find somewhere I can set up the Big Shot without having to keep clearing space in here.

Pics on the craft blog Jean. Probably only you and I that look at it these days. Nice cards though. Do yous till give some for charity?

Thanks Ann, yes I do them for the local hospice and the disable trust centre were D works......

Hi, all I have managed to do seven more cards today, two 8x8 embossed ones, plus some square 5x5 and A6 ones.also one happy mistake that came out much better than I thought, it was added to a die cut to make the middle that hadnt cut through ,so I was going to bin it as spare bits, but it turned out as a fold back front stuck on a card,
well impressed, to dark to take pics will try again tomorrow...the new grand calibur came and is much improved so far I am delighted with it means I can sit down some of the time, :-D :-D

love Jean xx <3

I made two but haven't had much time today. Both the ones I made were from the Hunky dory Decadent moments, Art Deco ladies. Very pleased with both of them. will try and remember to take photos tomorrow when the light is ok.

Four more of my cards on the blog.

I have just read your story on the Welsh thread, It is so good, and reminds me of my childhood.... I have a cousin in Tenby who was in his eighties and wrote the same thing and his daughter had it put on a c.d as a present and they sent me a copy so its great reading...well done you... <3 <3 <3

I have spent this morning having fun doing two cards using covers off a rather expensive booklet that promotes exclusive jewellery, the front and back are very lovely
and ornate so I have adapted them into two large cards ....lol.... I will take pics of them when I can so you can see what I mean.... ;-) ;-) I want to do some A6 size cards mainly for dads and kids. but C is coming later so we can give him is birthday cards and gifts.... so today is out... J wants us to go out tomorrow, but I am so hooked on cardmaking I dont really want to go. but must do to try and improve my walking. :-| :-|

love Jean xx

Well done Jean.

I was in town on my own this morning so sneaked in a visit to the craft shop and found they have the Hunkydory toppers. so had to buy one and a Hunkydory magazine. £4.99 but had a triple pack of toppers as a free gift (£4.99 worth), thought that was a good deal!

Yesterday I made 5 Easter cards. I am only making fairly simple ones this year, I don't send to people who would appreciate elaborate ones. :-)

Ann can you give the blogg link again. Forgot to add to faves and can't remember what it is....thxxxxx
