Artograph LightTracer Light Box

I've just written a review of the Artograph LightTracer Light Box. It's a great product for arts and crafts projects. The light box is really reasonably priced and very hard wearing, it's great if you don't want to spend too much on gadgets when your first starting out.

The light box is great for tracing designs for card making or onto fabrics. It's really lightweight too so kids can take it to school if needed.

How to use a rhinestone setter

I love blinged up items. Using a rhinestone setter is a great way of customizing your clothes and accessories. You can use this type of applicator wand to add patterns to items such as phone cases and craft projects. They are great for adding a bit of sparkle to cards too.

Martha Stewart Crafts Knit and Weave Loom Kit

I'm always looking for easier ways to make things and recently I came across the Martha Stewart Crafts Knit and Weave Loom Kit.

You make make lots of different projects using this kit - anything from scarves and hats to socks. You can use most yarns with this too. I've collected some great videos showing you how to use this loom too.

Save money with thrifty tips

I love money saving and needed a place to collect all the great thrifty tips that I come across. I've put together a squidoo page to keep all these handy bits and pieces together. I found some great tips and recipes on youtube too so I've included the videos in the page for people to take a look.

The best friends quotes ever

My favourite TV show is friends, so I decided to make a Squidoo lens sharing the best friends quotes.

The page has some great quotes from Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross.

How to knit for charity

I think that knitting for charity is a great way to use your crafty talents to help others. That's why I've made a page with information to help others get started with charity knitting. It can be as easy as making mini bobble hats or making squares to sew together into blankets.

It's something that you can also do with your friends if you want a group project! There's loads of different charities that need help, I've listed just a few on my page.

Big Shot Die Cutter

I recently bought a Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutter Machine. If you haven't heard of one before, its basically a hand operated machine that allows you to cut shapes out of any material you fancy. It's great for craft projects such as card making or sewing! That's the main reason I bought it :)

I've found the machine really helpful and thought that I would write a quick review of this over on squidoo. I also found some great tutorials for how to use the big shot. This is really useful because the machine doesn't come with the best instructions!
