A LOVELY NEW FIND

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a good day.

Mine turned out much better than I was expecting!!

Yesterday I was working away in my little craft pod when my Cuttlebug C plate gave out an almighty crack whilst being wound through my Cuttlebug.  It has done years of service and has been used nearly every day since I got the machine .. .. but for some reason I never, ever expected to have to replace this plate.  The B plates are quite often replaced .. .. but never the C plate.  So panic!!  Jules has no spare!!

So a quick search on the internet threw up a place where the prices were good (I ordered C and B plates whilst I was at it) and free delivery too!!!  Champion!!

So I threw the plates into my basket and also noticed a section for the Marianne D Range of craft products.  My little crafting friend Helen had a gorgeous snowflake stencil from this lady so I thought I would have a little wander through that section too and see what else was available .. .. and I came across some gorgeous little stamps.

This is one I decided "needed" to go into my basket .. .. .. how cute is this?!?!?!?






So two cards .. .. one for the boys and one for the girls LOL!!!

These used:

Image:  Marianne Design "CO9607"
Backing Papers:  For the Girl card:  Pink Petticoat - for the Boy card:  Aimee Asher
Sentiment:  Computer generated
Nestabilities: Standard Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles LargeWoodware Punches:  Daisy
Sizzix Die:  #7 Buttons
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Stampendous!:  Fun Flock
Diamond Stickles
ProMarkers
Ribbon and Wool from the Stash Box

I think that ewe looks so cute and snuggly in that lovely jumper!!

So as you can tell my delivery landed with me very quickly.  What great service.  Thank you Cutting Edge Crafts!!!  (not sure whether I should mention or not that there is a great sale on over there at the mo!!!).

I really thought that because the prices were so good, and my postage was free, I would be waiting for a good few days for my package to arrive when in reality I ordered mid-afternoon yesterday and my goodies were with me this morning.  Woo hoo!!!

No having to nurse my poorly C Plate any longer .. .. .. just look at the poor little fella .. .. he has made it through the day though  .. .. .. .. just!!!  LOL!!!


 
Have a good evening everyone.

Love

    What a sweetie of a image Jules! Just love him/her and gorgeous papers too. Wow, breaking a C plate!, blimey never come across anyone doing that before lol!, but such fantastic delivery and free P&P, might have to do a little shopping hehehe. Well you asked me about my pins, What I normally do is tuck them behind a ribbon or under some flowers so (fingers crossed) nobody hurts themselves. Or I take them out and keep them for me after I take my piccies lol, so don't tell anyone!!

    Anyway, rambled to long, have a great evening and hope you are feeling loads better!

    Hugs Vicky xx

    What a coincidence Jules. I wrecked my extended cutting plates cutting out dozens of the TH rosettes for Jenna's wedding stuff so was searching for some replacements on Saturday, placed an order (along with a few other bits and bobs which just happened to fall into my basket) and they arrived Tuesday morning! Where from? ......... Cutting Edge Crafts!!!! It's the first time I've used them too.

    Love both your cards and the little sheep is just great. What a lucky find!

    Hugs

    PS Hope you and Hubby are starting to feel a bit better.

    Beautiful cards, and these papers are so nice.
    Yes they are a brilliant company, I've used them in the past and they are good on postage as well for Ireland, just the true amount and not some ridiculous figure some firms charge.
    Oh I've been in the plate breaking pickle as well,and it always happens when you need it most, I always have spare plates now for my Big Shot.

    Jules you and I are so alike, I cracked my c plate COMPLETELY off on one third of it there, and have beeen using 2/3rds of a c plate for months, just never dare admit it to anyone lol.

    I've been looking for the longer 12" plates, but they are so darn expensive down here!

    I LOVE the sheepy! so cute!!!

    Gorgeous cards! Love that sheep. I broke my C plate too! Got a new one from eBay for £7.99 (+£1.20 postage) which I thought was quite a bargain. I'm being very careful with the new one! xx

    what a brill image - I love the sheep....

    When my c plate did exactly the same - I nearly had a heartattack - I thought i'd broken the machine at first... Anyhow - now in two separate pieces, I use mine to put glue on if i'm using wet glue for anything - and when dry it peels off like a dream ready to be used next time... waist not, want not don't they say???
