Will reply more fully but of course I'll cut you some shapes - could you ping me an email with colours you like for backing layers? Also, what do you colour with - that makes a difference to the white card I'd use for the images. Flying out right now but worried I might forget if you don't prompt me!

Aw thank yoU! But I do have a paper ...Mrs Nesbitt,<br /><br />Aw thank yoU! But I do have a paper cutter with a wavy blade. Well I'm sure I do. Can't find it at the moment, "craft space" looks like a burgler's turned it over at the moment ;)<br />I really must get in there and do some sorting. I intend to have a clear out and give a pile of stuff away on here.<br /><br /><br />Angel and Kirby<br /><br />I've seen the cricut on QVC and always forget to pronounce it like 'cricket' LOL even though it has a cartoon cricket on it d'oh. <br />Oo yeah my ribs hurt when I cough. Luvbug gave me a back rub which helped a lot!<br />For paper I have lots of patterned stuff that I've either bought in the past or got free in craft magazines, it varies in thickness. For plain paper and card to stamp or draw on, and make cards with, I usually use 250gsm which is quite stiff. I also have water colour blocks of 'postcard' size. I sometimes buy blank cards that come with envelopes but there is a small, independent stationer in Colchester that stocks just about any size of envelope you could want, so I make a pile of cards, not worry too much about the size, then go and get some envelopes to match. I should really make my own, shouldn't I?<br /><br /><br />Julie<br /><br />Thank you! And I see you have yet to find your hat. Bob told me about that.<br /><br /><br /><br />Dragonstar,<br />A YEAR??? OMG!! I'm scared now!<br />I read about saltpipes a while ago and wondered about them, because when I used to visit mum on the Isle of Sheppey the salt air was very beneficial.<br />Sorry to hear you've been stressed out. Hope things improve... btw we had a delivery from USA that had been sent to us for Xmas on 10th Dec., and it arrived late Janaury, with a stamp that indicated it had come via Bolivia!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Blue,<br />Hope your cold eases soon.Mrs Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972137710178467475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-70509059125167463612012-02-13T15:55:15.116+00:002012-02-13T15:55:15.116+00:00As I'm suffering from passed on cold germs too...As I'm suffering from passed on cold germs too, soooo sympathise.<br />Read your post earlier & it made me post re my infection.

I've just started using a Saltpipe (middle son works in a health shop and recommended it) and it seems to be helping.<br />I love the card you did for your dad. So beautiful!<br />I'm at last saying thanks for the Christmas card. It arrived late (don't ask me where these things go at busy times of year!) which is one reason I haven't got back to you. The other is that life has been rather stressful (surprise!) and I've not visited anyone. Yet again I sent no cards myself :( I <b>WILL</b> do better this year!!!<br />Take care of yourself.Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-2013783774521587082012-02-12T17:38:13.400+00:002012-02-12T17:38:13.400+00:00Oh no!

One always comes along :-( I hope you get over it quickly but meanwhile enjoy the pampering form Luvbug and Mr Scooter and keep drinking plenty of ginger tea.xxxx Your card for your dad is lovely and was worth the effort with the watercolour. xxJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-52180651606729259132012-02-12T17:25:04.962+00:002012-02-12T17:25:04.962+00:00Colds are terrible.

If it gets in my chest I can plan on two weeks of rib breaking coughing! <br /><br />If I had a die cut machine I would cut you some. The one I have is a Kids crickit. I do not have any geometric designs. What kind of paper or card stock do you use? <br /><br />Those are very cute cards! How fun to see Scooter in the background.<br /><br />I hope you get to feeling better soon!Angel, Kirby and Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142914249981749713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-82101553765511246132012-02-12T17:18:00.618+00:002012-02-12T17:18:00.618+00:00Sorry hun I dont have one of those machines...I ha...Sorry hun I dont have one of those machines...I have borrowed a neighbours paper cutter - does wavy edges - any good?
