err, yes. You worry too much

I'm not bothered, because I don't do much colouring in, I'm rubbish at it.!!

I love the pink dotty background Ellie pretty card I like the sentiment too
I have a box card from papermill very old and only rubbish colours left I use brazil 12 x12 is that how you spell it for scrapbooking card here is thin but for cutting matts etc not actual card I bought some premade white ones with scalloped edges they are really nice would like some more
I dont colour as often stamped images as never that pleased either
I dont think I will join the die cuts as post to here is unreliable I am still awaiting a kit and wouldnt want you to feel upset but I know if I spy anything I cant live without and asked you would cut one for me sometime

ps I like the added bling too Ellie just a tad lifts the flower I must remember to try that one

Oh Denise, I'm sure we wouldn't mind the postage, or do you mean it's the postal service
it's self that isn't reliable.?
If you do want anything cutting, and I have it, I would be more than happy to
post it to you

Oh it's a fact, I do worry too much Ellie, you're spot on.

Love the card and especially that flourish at the bottom.

Every now and then Denise we could send you a batch of dies, can't imagine it will break the bank.

Pretty card Ellie.
I use the White card from Poundland! 20 sheets for £1 and i think it's great. For a die cut swap though I would cut in my American Crafts smooth card stock. It's hard to find so I use it sparingly. .. I'll make the exception for you lot though! Lol

Another vote for American Craft .

Thanks for the PM s.
I will email everyone very soon. Been out tonight and out all day tomorrow, and Friday, should get something to you by the weekend.
Denise, I'm happy to send to South Africa too, I'm sure you'd get it eventually ! Would hate you to miss out x

I'll buys some of that from Amazon if that is what everyone likes. It is approx. £14 for 25 12x12 sheets on amazon, does that sound about right. What weight is it?

I've also just remembered I bought a lot of smooth white card stock from C&C. I don't use it much because it isn't up to the printing quality I like but fine for everything else. I'll get that out and give it a go and see what it is like for stamping on to as well. Do you know, most people probably think it is great for printing but I have been spoilt by our Cornish friends.

Mary, did you think I was going a bit mad asking if you wanted those Footlight dies cutting? It wasn't you who had them (but you'd know that) it was Sue (miniowner) so I must PM her and ask her if she wants some cutting or does anyone else want them cutting too?
