Hello all! My PC died a few months ago and I haven't been able to afford a new one, but my dad just bought me a new one today, so here I am! I've got quite a lot of real life crap going on (some of you on my facebook friends list know some of the story behind that), but hopefulyy, it means I can get on with doing some real crafting and now I have my PC again, hopefully can do some selling too!

Glad to be back and still see some familiar faces around!

Hope to get a good 10 or so listed in the next few days, if I can find my non-christmassy stuff before everythign goes up in the air over the next couple of months!

Anyone got any suggestions of how I can make it better or anything? Is my description - well - descriptive enough?!

TIA!

Some good quality stuff on this site!

I just hit 300 fans on Facebook Thanks to a couple of the Link Love ladies on there who posted me around a bit, I'm now up to 302 and probably going further tonight! I'm too stupidly excited about this! I posted half an hour agio that I only had 5 to go and went off to do some cleaning. Came back and was past it!

*happy dance*

I've been lusting after a decent die-cutting machine for ages. I've had an X-Cut impress for a while, but the plates are so tiny and it doesn't feel very strong when I'm tring to cut things. It's also very limited on the sizes of the individual dies as well as the general availability.

After a bit of research, I decided I wanted to buy a Cuttlebug but the craft shop in my local town were selling them at £70 and it was way beyond my budget! I checked my online banking today and have no bills coming out, so I bit the bullet and bought it! I was in the shop with my kids. DS was asleep, but DD was intrigued by everything. The lady in the shop let her choose a disney die and embossing folder and threw them in for half price and the lady also found one of the dies from the kids range and let DD choose one of those too and threw it in for free! And because DD was so good, she let her have a few chocolate coins AND a pack of small xmas card toppers too!

I know I could have gotten a Cuttlebug online for about £20 cheaper, but I wouldn't have made DD happy with it!

And, of course, I've been playing with it since I got home and I can honestly say, I don't know how I've lived without it! I love it sooo much and it's so easy to use! I'd highly recommend[sp?] it to anyone who's considering it!

I didn't know whether to put this in websites or business, but it's regarding an image for business cars so I put it here.

I've found a local place in town that can make me some business cards fairly cheap. I've just checked their website and it says for print quality, the image needs to be around 300dpi - I've checked my logos and they are 96dpi. How do I go about making them denser? Is it just a case of resizing them?

TIA!

I've updated my blog, shock horror! Including facebook fans, a commission and info about my craft fayre!
