OCD / STATIONERY / CARDMAKER / HOARDER Alert:...I've been to Lidl...I've got lots of craft paper!!!!

[MrsFrostgetful]

larger than A4...270g THICK paper...almost card... pad of 25 different sheets...all plain...all colours of the rainbow...geys...browns...you name it...I have GOT IT!!!

(but alas....i bought the last few packs at our branch...so noone else round here can have any!!!!....

i bought some for dd but on closer inspection i have claimed it. have used some this morning for the sizzix swap

so...are you are like me then?...Buy it for the child...then cannot bear to see it wasted!!!!! I was very pleased...as this was not on their website...so was a pleasant suprise! nothing like finding something 'useful' when you least expect it !!!

Heh, heh I have that too. Mrs F you didn't reply do you want some of that mad gold/silver stuff from the works. They have it again.

Nothing like the mention of OCD to get me looking at a thread . Happy card making!

Whats OCD?

OCD-Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - I think, It where someone can't resist the urge to do something, like an overpowering phobia.

It could be that someone has to constantly wash their hands because of a fear of dirt or germs.

In this case it's like the constant urge to collect crafty goodies...that we really need!

Obsessive crafting disorder, like it

Ive got it too! its fab!

i havent been yet as not sure where is one around my area!

biglips - there is a LIDL near Lime Street Station, just a little bit past T.J.Hughes on London Road. Not sure if there are any nearer to you.

really.. hmmm im in town tmrw so ill nip up there as im going to a craft workshop tmrw in Rennies in bold st

when I was in the newsagents today I saw part 1 of a new Craft magazine partwork for 99p, that had a little pack of free textured papers with it. Don't remember what it was called though!

Creative papercraft MTS

or are you talking about the textured cards?

it was in the newsagents a couple of doors further up than Rennies in Bold St! Or have you already got it

mts take a look here

this is as bad as telling DH anything transport related - he always knows about it already anyway!!

if you go to the St. John's Centre, the Book Clearance Shop near the food court on the ground floor had a few small tubs of craft paper and card for 99p when I was there last week.

thanks MTS.. its that small little shop by the loo aint it? (the book clearance shop)

my lidl's is disappointing. I hate going in there.. but I did today (needed the carpark!!) and they had nothing crafty.

probably all sold out?

...Hmmmm....have already bought 2 of that new craft mag....so that's 10 cards to make...and 2 magazines...and still i want more!
I bought 6 of the lidl packs of paper!

(and some more ribbon in whsmith...so let me see...i must have approx 30 different rolls of ribbon...and they are all between 2 and 5meters long....and then there's all the 'remanent' pieces i have also hoarded... i really truley think i have more than 100metres...more likely 150!!!

and i still hate using them...still worry i am wasting them....yet still keep buying them....i blame it on the shops selling them at less than £1...i cannot resist the cheap bargains...when they are over £2...i SOMETIMES walk away!

would that creative papercraft 99p mag be a good start at cardmaking - I am teetering on the verge of having a bash at it!!!

It looks OK for relative beginners but it works on the assumption that you've already got a workbox full of craft knives and bits and pieces - all of the projects use additional bits and pieces that us mere mortals just don't have lying around.

I'm going to give it a go though.

you know wha MTS - i was gonna say that "how come youre not doing it??, when you know where yo look!!" lol
