When I spotted this stunner of a card by Noelle McAdams I thought it was just great. Then, after taking a closer look, I have to say it's pretty awesome.

Love the almost monotone color scheme. Her choice of papers make this so fun and the layered mustaches give them more dimension.

Add the bling in the corners, and there is no doubt why this card is today's Pick of the Litter. ]]> Miss Meowy http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=554203 Change thread indicator icon colors? http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=554202&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 19:22:43 GMT New posts Hot thread with new posts No new posts Hot thread with no new posts Thread is closed You have posted in this thread The colors for these icons are all so similar (except closed thread and no new posts).

Hi everyone I primarily use stampin up, however was taking a look at cmh online catalog (wish I had a hard copy to look at) anyway my questions are:
1. Their card stock how does it rate with su? I do like a heavier cardstock
2. Their colors moonstruck and gypsy what do they compare to in su. The moonstruck reminds me of brilliant blue which is no more and I love. Gypsy looks possibly like lavendar lace?

I am liking some stamp sets too and have no idea how to get a current catalog (which does their catalog come out june 1 too?) and place an order.

Any help is appreciated.

I thought I saw a sentiment that I thought was Unity, but now I can't find it. It said something like "you spoke to my heart" . Is this really a Unity stamp? Thanks for your help!

I'm looking for cardstock that is colored on one side and white on the other ...I've tried searching the net but not finding it. My purpose is to make notecard sets...does anyone have any suggestions?

I have general use thread, and I have quilter's thread (for handsewing) and I have one bobbin of black upholstery thread. I've seen the button craft thread, which is made for hand sewing etc.., but it seems like it would be too thick. What type do you use? I want it to show up well, and I've read where someone said to get a thicker thread, but I wasn't exactly sure what type they meant. Maybe, one of you could help me with that. I've already bought the smaller sewing needle for my machine. Just needed a little more info.

I need help, please. A shelf in my closet fell and when it did, it knocked my Big Shot on the floor. Now the handle will not turn at all - totally locked up. Has this happened to anyone else and if so, how did you fix it?

I bought mine a long time ago, so returning it for repairs is not an option = I no longer have any of the paperwork that came with it.

I am heartbroken - and I need it to work to finish a swap I'm in. :sad:

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
