My poor Calibur hasn't made it out of the box yet but I'm hoping that perhaps I'll get some time to play with it in a few weeks time! After my classes on the 4th December at The Glitter Pot I will be taking a break from teaching for a little while so this should afford me some 'play time'!!
If any of you haven't seen this machine and the Grand Nestabilites you can check them out here.
Then of course after being at The Craft Barn yesterday I just couldn't leave there empty handed!! No toys for me this time though but a great stack of white card - infact 150 sheets worth!! The Craft Barn do a really nice weight of plain white card (300gms). It's not only great to make your base cards from but it is also a really brilliant white plus it is REALLY smooth so is absolutely great for stamping onto and using your Copic markers and best of all it is only 20p per A4 sheet! Talking of Copics I had to have a few of those too as I want to start experimenting with the 0000's!! I think perhaps that it is a good thing that I am taking a break from teaching for a while as it costs me a fortune going to these places!! (However again I had in mind the VAT increase so of course it made sense for me to buy them yesterday - didn't it?? At least that is what I'm telling myself - lol!!)
On Friday it was the start of a brand new challenge over on The Stamp Man's Challenge Blog. The DT have made some wonderful samples to give you some inspiration using Tim Holtz's stamps as the challenge is to make something Christmassy using Tim's products. To find out more click here.
Meanwhile I hope to be back again soon as I have lots of card samples to show you!

OOh Kay you lucky lady, what great news! I'm really interested to see if you think it's worth the pennies:0) xx
I'll be interested to hear what you have to say about your new toy. I have several friends who have the A4 joy crafts machine and I can't decide if I really need a machine that takes a bigger size or not, and yours looks rather special! Hope you have a lovely play with all your new toys once your classes stop. I'm saving up my pennies for the Christmas Demo day at Sir S!
Very Jealous - it is on my wish list for Christmas! Now do you think I should arrange to come and supervise your playing with it! rofl!
