     Topic: Arty Crafty Card makers help please     Posted: 12 December 2008 at 1:09pm | 
 
 
  
   
   
   Tom has been given a budget of $5 to spend on his aunty etc for Xmas.  He would like to buy her something little and we know she often makes her own cards.  What would you recommend.  
  
Of course Tom told me all this....totally his idea...nothing to do with me  
  
He's got the uncles, grandfathers sorted.....hankies all round.  And one grandmother will get some fabric for quilting and the other....soap??  but Aunty is a hard one

   Ok, my mum is the same... The Warehouse do cool stuff real cheap. A card punch, rubber stamps, some funky scissors, pack of papers, funky pens...they usually have heaps of stuff (up here anyway) otherwise you could try Spotlight they have same stuff (and more) but might cost a bit more.
 
Good luck

   You can also get a lot of that stuff from the $2 shop and the stationary warehouse.

   Cool, might try warehouse.  Looked on TM but its nicer to see things and be able to pick them up.

   lol you live in the wop wops huh. Well definatly check out the warehouse then. Each warehouse stocks different stuff though so you may not have a great range at your local but its still worth a look
