OK following on from the anti-peel off & scrapbooking threads....What craft techniques haven't you tried, that you feel you should?

For me its scrapboking, heat embossing & eyelets !

I've only just bought brads to try . I'm also useless at stamping, so don't do that very often even though a have a few basic stamps.

I need to do more with my chalks.

In fact I need to do more with all my craft stuff. I was going to start scrapbooking this year but I have been rather busy suffering from morning sickness and tiredness instead .

I'd like to try making my own metal charms using the big shot dies, but need to wait until my new pads arrive!

I'd like to use fibres a bit more too without things looking messy! I loved the card in the gallery (can't remember whose it is) with the little fringed skirt on the fairy/angel).

Perhaps experimenting with fabrics as well would be fun.

So many things so little time - especially if I don't get myself of the computer!!!!!

well I just made a sun-dress and finished off a bias cut skirt so I feel able to make merry and qualify for being crafty today

Anything that involves paper folding or sewing, but seriously doubt I ever will. I have only ever sewn one thing- rather bizarrely not a chsion / a-line skirt, but my ds2's Christening robe.

Dingle's list seems to cover me fairly accurately! Am adept at embossing / stamping etc, though.

Have everything I need to start scrapbooking this week properly, awaiting delivery of my photos Tuesday. Bit nervous tbh, but have some really nice stuff ready.

I'm still trying to get to grips with the whole funky fibre thing!

Also want to use my chalks more (scared of using them and making a mess of my project!)

Would like to play with shrink plastic and spend much more time on my scrapbook! I need more space to try all these though!

Dingle, loved your phone charms and would like to attempt this at some point.

....and learn to use my digital camera more effectively. I only know how to point and shoot, really want to learn how to be a bit more creative with that and incorporate this into my scrapping!
