Have some Signature dies I bought from Joanne Sheen and they are fine. Have you tried using a different sandwiches or just placing it on the edge of the plate. Hope this helps. W x

Anybody else used dies by Signature Collection (Sara Davies)? I bought one to use with the Saphire and it is awful to use, doesn't cut very well at all.

Thanks, I shall have to start on next years cards.

Wow fantastic Ann.....lucky duck!!!

Everything in the pack is marianne stuff. a couple of very small dies, ribbon, stamps, paper packs, star stick on gems, and a 12x12 Paper pad.

That was a nice surprise. although I don't know where it came from. In the post today was a large envelope full of craft staff, papers, gems, embroidery threads, charms ooh a lot odf stuff. Nothing to say where it came from and a shame a lot of it is Christmas stuff but hey, it's free and Christmas stuff will be used next year. I can only assume it is a feebie competition win as I do go in for them occasionally.

I assume nobody on here sent it as it came from an industrial site in kent via Yodel.

Yes I saw those today, some good ones there too. I did resist (just) as I already have several with loads of pages to complete.

For those interested in Adult colouring books THE WORKS have a selection in at the moment ranging from £3 to £7. Maybe worth a look if you have a branch in your area.

Wow that sounds like a good stall. Enjoy playing! :-D

Had a lovely day yesterday, bought quite a lot . My favourite stand was Everycraftsapound - 12 items for £10 including dies, stamps, embossing folders, gemstones and papers.

Just been playing with a few but I'm rationing myself so I have some left tomorrow :-)

Have fun Pammy. Hope you buy lots of yummy goodies. Lucky you x

Thanks Ann
It's so easy for one thing to lead to another in Hobby craft.
Yes I've got my credit card all polished and ready!
I'm going to be getting things for card making so hopefully I shall have a fun (but busy) week next week.

Ooh lucky you Pammy. Are you card making? I can't remember what craft you do. I managed to spend over £20 in a smallish Hobbycraft shop this morning so I hope you have your credit card ready! Have a lovely spend!!

I'm going to the Big Scrapbooking and Stamping Exhibition at Ally Pally on Saturday.
My list is so long I think I'll need to take the case on wheels :-D

I have changed the title slightly as I think quite a few people are into adult colouring books. I find I don't just stay with one book, I keep seeing books with designs I like better. I bought two more on holiday although have yet to buy one of the more expensive ones. One I bought was £3.99 in Smiths and another was £2 instead of £2.99 on a market stall. So I now have 4 or 5 different books to choose from. I am hoping to incorporate some of the finished pictures into my card making or scrap booking but I shall see if that is possible.

If I had kept all the birthday club ones in the could be 10 (not sure how many) years I have been receiving them I wouldn't be able to move in here. I do usually keep them about a year so i can look back on them. :-)

I'm quite happy too to share what I have made but I keep all of the cards sent to me .....handmade or bought. Just can't bring myself to cutting them up. W x

Ann, at the moment all the handmade cards I have received are in a box at the bottom of the wardrobe! I keep saying I am going to take them apart and reuse the pieces but have just not got round to it yet. I am quite happy for people to reuse any part of the cards I have made make if they want to.

Yes I don't mind in the least if somebody recycles mine ot parts of mine. I have re=made one Of Jills, but she is so clever that it is much too good to be one of mine so I think i am going to put 'handmade by Jill' on the back :-)

I do Ann, I think its good to let someone else share in the lovely cards we make , I believe when cardmakers do cards a part of themselves go into them so its really passing love on, and maybe someone who recieves the card will get a sense of that love.... I always say feel free to recycle my cards, if you think they are worth recycling, or keep them if you want to....

Love Jean xx <3 <3
