Ann in glos,
you are more than welcome, and as asked if you join please look me up.
penny.

Sorry Penny, didn't see your reply, I will.

and through the post today......I received
my Guess how much i love you refil pack .....it had to be ordered as it is an odd size - although I have only done two pages I wanted to ensure I got the refils incase I couldnt get them would of changed the layout of the album

what size is it Jan? Don't they do it in Hobbycraft?

I looked in hobbycraft Ann and online at various other places - I actually brought the album from amazon and saw that some one had left a note of the place to get refils so phoned them 2 days ago and it arrived today so not bad going
its 10.5" x 9.5"

*snorts at Ann* cheeky monkey.... of course, I meant a crocodile sommat or other.... Scatty, if you do get one, will you let me know what it's for, please, lolol!!

Penny, I joined that site earlier today...... welcome, by the way!

In case you hadn't guessed, I have a glitter fetish.... and have become addicted to craft stuff... even if I don't quite know what it is for, lol

Ann, I am a bit the same with anything that is at an angle... it looks fabulous when anyone else does it, but I feel it always looks *contrived* when I do it, lol.....

~~~~~~ to Sarah

Jean... I think Ann might have a point.... I do seem to be addicted to glitter, lol.... maybe I was a magpie in a previous life... lolol

Love

Daff xxxx

Penny I joined some time ago , today I had a message someone wanted to be my friend, when I lokked it said there are no friends, baffled....

Ann, there was a mention quite a while ago about craftbubble thats when I joined, do you go by this board name or another I made a different one....


ove Jean xx

I have not joined yet Jean, not had time. Spent all afternoon making cards.

Rhino..... croc-o-dile not a lot of difference really is there Lol!!!!

*giggles*

Oh dear she does get confused. Goodness knows what she will be like when she gets to my age!!

Are you ladies talking about the crop-o-dile? If so it is a fab tool as long as you aren't endowed in certain directions and catch yourself in it, then it gives a nasty bite I'm told LOL I hold mine well away from me just in case.

Hi Sarah
yes I think thats what we are talking about - I have read that they can be a fiddly to use until you get the hang of them

I am sure that is what Daff meant Sarah yes, not seen it used though so can't comment on it. What does it actually do?

It punches holes and sets eyelets with out the din of using a hammer. Will punch holes in card and paper but also in chipboard, thin metal, CDs etc really easily - think warm knife through butter.

They are a bit fiddly but I've found that setting eyelets is easier if once you've lined everything up you turn the crop-o-dile over so everything is upside down when you squeeze. It also looks like it will take a lot of force but it doesn't really, even my friend who suffers with arthritis found she could use it

spent hours today cutting out baby blocks of letters got some other bits ready for the page and decided they were the wrong shade - am just starting a new lot in hopefully the right shade - Rick couldnt tell much difference men huh what does he know lol

Don't you know by now Jan that men have no colour sense Lol!!! (sorry Rick I am sure you are an exception to the rule!).
Annoying when that happens Jan but it wont be wasted you will be able to use them on another page.

Thanks sarah, strangely I don't use eyelets very much, in fact haven't used them for ages. Suppose I should really as I have some pretty coloured ones.

Lol Ann.
Well 2 pages finished over the weekend one in each album - Have now more confidence and have started layering me photos etc *feeling rathe proud of myself*
Havent used the sparkles yet, but i better start soon as I brought 12 lots of them
definatly need a new album , just deciding the subject

Sparkles work particularly well with little girls and pink so you wont waste them Jan.

Did you have a good time with Mags?
