POTD - Monday 15th September

[barney]

Just to let you know there is a Crafters Companion POTD on Monday 15th September.

B x :)

[sugarplum]

not a crafters companion fan so not for me but thanks for the heads up

[Wellington]

Cheers Barney :) I don't mind watching a bit of CC; Sara comes up with some nice demos even of you don't like the CD - assuming it's a CD...

[nicecupoftea]

Don't do CDs and don't like Sara either. Sorry to mean on a Friday afternoon but I find her far too cock sure of herself. Hope her sister is on more than she is.

but will it be free P&P?........................

I thought I'd seen on another forum that it was a Marsden POTD. Had a quick peek at Marsden's website and it is supposed to be Malcolm Marsden doing the POTD on 15th. I wonder if there are going to be 2 on the same day?

[maisie*daisy]

is it a whole craft day again?

[Lioness]

is it a whole craft day again?

I've just checked my EPG and it looks as though it might be. Strangely though craft appears to start at 00:00 on the 15th and end at 20:59 the same day, so not quite a full day.:confused:

I have found in the past that IW don't update their info as regularly as other channels do, so this may change.

My EPG has a craft day starting next Saturday at 9pm! Are we heading for another boreathon?!?

[sugarplum]

OK going to sound really thick here but whats EPG?

Electronic Programme Guide (I think) Basically it is the TV schedule.

I expect so but my OH is away next weekend and TV craft becomes very attractive in the absence of OH!:D

Also Ideal World have 4 channels now - 3 IW and C&C! Can you imagine if they have craft on all of them!!!!!

Electronic Program Guide. Either on a sky box or Freeveiw box.

Did anyone buy the 4 day deal plus the multi-buy stamps set - I did - it was Jayne N - her demos blow me away.

I am quite glad to have the DVD too, I love Jayne!

[suetheiron]

I bought the 4 day deal - I don't really do 'cute', but these are quite nice. Good that this kit is designed to make cards that take more than 5 mins to pop out and stick together :D

[sugarplum]

I.m confused, thought the 4 day deal and the stamp sets all sold out last night but switched on this morning and the 4 day deal is still there. Mind you it was Howard last night and the man would confuse the best of us. He was waffling on about buying stamps being similar to buying beef :confused: What planet is he from again

I love Jayne, too. I'm not that into either medallians or cute mice, but I could listen to and watch Jayne until the cows come home.

100% agree, Sue, and especially nice to see cards that aren't just multiple layers of plain and mirror card, stuck together to make cards that appear impressive but aren't actually so (thinking of one "guest" in particular.....):p

The 4 day deal didn't sell out last night, but the multi-buys of the other 5 sets of stamps sold out.

[sugarplum]

Well Howard did keep saying it was a lot of info to take in and all his twittering was confusing the hell out of me Glad its not sold out as, even though I won't be buying I do like watching Jane demonstrate

[Anne]

I was getting a bit confuzzled too. There seemed to be lots of variations of the 4 day deal. It doesn't overly concern me though as I don't like it!

[Prudence2]

I bought the 4 day deal (cd, dvd and stamps) I do have the original stamps and cd. These are some of the most popular cards that I make - everyone seems to love the mice!! I have to admit to prefer these to the messy rabbit stamps.

[Wellington]

Hurrah!! Too cute for me LOL Watched the launch show on Saturday & wasn't feeling too good anyway - Howard's constant fawning & brown nosing made me feel sick so I turned over - was Last Night At the Proms anyway...

[Prudence2]

I received my 4 Day deal yesterday. Spent today stamping and painting the mice with watercolour pencils and H2O's. The backing papers on the cd are delightful,totally different from those I would normally use.

I think that the theme papers on the cd would work very well with a lot of different cute stamps.:D

[Wellington]

Glad you're enjoying your latest purchase Prudence :)

I saw a pre-record on C&C yesterday with Jayne N & Sara Davies which featured the first lot of Cute Companions stamps & CC CD volume 1. Although the stamps are way too cutie for me, I found I was quite interested in the CD, mostly for the patchwork alphabet, but I thought some of the backing papers were fantastic for kids cards. I've been ignoring the more girlie things cos DS hasn't been invited to many of the girls birthdays & the boys parties, but I realised yesterday that I need to think ahead - I suspect DD will be in need of cards for her firiends soon-ish!

[Ribbons]

Well, my 4 day deal arrived today minus the c&c club discount - great! Whats the chance of having that refunded? Anyway have sent an e-mail and am hoping for a reply, but it is annoying because I gave them all the correct numbers.......watch this space. :(

I didn't go for this, but was very tempted.:o Can someone please put me out of my misery - do the backing papers print out as well as Sarah says they do, regardless of what type of printer you have?
I borrowed a friends "Crafters Companion" cdrom the other month, & whatever I printed looked terrible. Not sure if it's my printer, or has the quality of the artwork has improved since(think it was one of the early cd's).
And what about the colouring in of the mice? Jayne N made it look SO easy, but have a feeling it might not be so easy when it comes to all the shading etc.

[Rentochops]

I wish mine would turn up:mad:

Chrissie I have 3 CC CD-ROM's and they print out very well.

I have spent the last 2 days stamping, colouring and cutting out about 40 mice and a lot of lamp posts!!! I have found this very restful and theuraputic. I used pencils and h2o's. I do not pretend to anything like Jayne N talent - but the cards are turning out OK - so I would say go for it. The backing papers and theme papers printed out really well. Really pleaed with mine.:D:D

[chrissie]

Thank you ROC & Prudence!

Hmmm, wonder if it's my printer then. I tried printing off several things off of my friend's Crafter's Companion cdrm when I borrowed it, & they all turned out "grainy".

I think that you might be a bit modest Prudence! 40 mice in 2 days is really going some, without the lamp posts!!
Think if I get one, I might be better getting the regular Cute Companions one rather than the Christmas version.
Jayne N is on at 11, so will watch then.
ROC, I'm still waiting for some things to be delivered from the 15th too! Hopefully they will turn up soon.
Thank you again.

I'll watch this space, but I won't hold my breath - far too risky when dealing with IW/C&C. Hope you get it resolved quickly Ribbons.

As a suggestion Simply Cards Magazine has a free crafters companion cd in this month plus a selection of their papers free.
