Oooh, just ordered my first Nellies (along with some more Tilda's) - can't wait to try them out!

Been busy making some Sugar Nellie cards - first chance I've had to play with them since I got them.

There are a couple more on my blog as well.

My DD who is 8 loves colouring them in too and I've put some pictures of her efforts on my blog too. She would be so happy if anyone would leave a comment for her (Is that blog pimping if you ask for comments on someone else's work???

)

Great cards Margaret and fab blog. Kirsten's creations are sooo sweet, I have left a comment for her. I love the way she has created her own backgrounds as well, I forgot to say that in my comment.

I've already got a cuttlekids machine, the fairy alpha and some really cute wee cuttlekids animal dies in there...so what's another stamp or two...or three...

Okay I have now plucked up the courage to post on this thread. After seeing Carmen's cards at SAG I now have 4 Sugar Nellies and 1 Magnolia. I am teaching myself to stamp and colour but no way can I reach the standard of you clever people. I just love all of your cards. I made my very first cards for a Christmas swap and now I am really kean to make more.
Wish there was a crop or classes near where I live.

Mary I've just discovered it really depends on the quality fo your colouring pencils/pens. I was getting some so-so results with my whispas stamping pens but then bought myself some intense water colouring pencils for my birthday (ie some quality ones not the cheap ones I got years ago from the pound shop). The results are stunning compared to what I achieved before!

Mammy Hen - did you used to live in Whickham?

I'd reccomend Derwent watercolour pencils, that is what I use and I do believe the big tin is on offer at the moment in Hobbcraft

Mammy Hen I am in Poole and I think there is a real lack of crafty stuff in Dorset. There is a shop that I have been to in Winton for a class on glitter butterflies but I think they mainly do scrap booking stuff but it is pretty small and was really just a social thing. Perhaps it is bit far out for you but if you want the details, pm me and I will let you know.

I love the bead shops in Shaftesbury!!! My dh dreads going there!!!
