WWB...told you it was a slippery slope

Fun, isn't it?

OK, can I be a 'them'? I can't scan things though, but I can take a digital photo and forward it (See, not-crafty ot technically-minded, doh ) Is it a Christmas card we are making? Can I ask lots more stupid questions? And what is a sissex machine?

Welcome to the challenge fullmoon.
A sizzix is a hand operated machine that cuts out paper shapes for cardmaking.

Kanga ... whyever didn't I think of that? I have 34 metres of the stuff; now, what can I do with it that would make a good design for a Christmas card??

Personally, I say no judging as after sending one to another forum (I thought one of my best) I got such mean comments, that I didn't make a card for months and my confidence got shattered. .

Jayz, did you get the card I sent you from the bingo thingamajig?

blimey peachyclair I had no idea! it's dog eat dog in the card making world isn't it....

Let's just say, there are CERTAIN websites....

Peels offs, ribbons, tin foil, sparkley confetti sprinkly thingymegigs, stickers, outlines, wrapping paper,glitter glue, staples, string, rubber stamps, pipe cleaners etc etc etc are all permitted...specialist crafting tools and gubbins such as heat guns, sizzix machines,embossing powders, UTEE, Diamond Glaze and eyeletting tools are not.

Obviously no idea what I will do yet- but is quilling OK? I use a cocktail stick and shredded paper, no specialist gubbins at all!

I don't even know what half of those gubbins things are
I fancy having a go at quilling though

Quilling is fine....after all its just twiddling bits of paper, cutting and sticking for adults aint it???

Whizz... do you want me to e-mail the intro to quilling sheet the quilling guild gave me? Really simple! I have a triple embossing ojne too that I did for card club.

Jayz

that's it, 'just' simple...

grrrr

(It is really!)
