WOYWW 71 - Shiny New Toy!

Ooh, I am a bad WOYWWer! I've actually lost track of how many weeks its been since I took part! But I do have a shiny new toy so I don't think I care!!

And so the great Christmas production line has begun... I visited a demo day at a craft shop in Ketley (Telford) a few weeks back n purchased the Papermania foiling kit which has featured quite highly in my productions so far... I say productions I've managed six so far and I don't think any of those are even in a finished state! Good job I've got no friends, eh?

So anyway, at the risk of incurring the wrath of the WOYWWer's, before I went on my holibobs I... sold... my... Cuttlebug... Eek! I'm sorry, don't shout! In its place I used my antique Argos vouchers n purchased a Sizzix Texture Boutique (quite a bargain by all accounts cos there was a wodge of coredinations card included) and then on my return (cos it was suggested I would need summat to look fwd to!) I raided my penny jar and bought a Craft Robo! And I love it! I am after all a cheapskate at heart and the fact that I can send almost any shape to cut without having to buy cartridges or dies and pander to someone elses designs is like... David Tennant covered in chocolate!

If you don't know what this is all about visit Queen Julia's place n get in the know, pronto! Happy WOYWW!

  7. I have a Bug and love it, I'm interested to know what a Texture Boutique can do that the Bug can't? I've seen the TB in teh store and just thought it was another machine to do the same thing, but maybe not? Cards are coming along well and have fun with the new goodies.

  20. I was here earlier in the week, and for the life of me, could NOT leave a comment. Kept getting that 503 blogger error. Just returning to say I've never heard of either of these products. What a nice way to get exposed to new things. I must do an internet search to understand what you are talking about. Happy belated WOYWW from #2.

  21. Oh yeah like the foils myself, have used them extensively..very easy huh. As for the bargains - why not? Whatever floats your boat and the right tool for you is erm, the right tool for you!! Will be very interested in your assessment of the TBH.
