If you can, try getting some dies and a cutting machine, or even a cricut. Saves loads of time.

There again, you make such lovely cards, I would stick with the punches.

Congrats Luke A a brilliant winner

He is. Thank you.

Agreed .

I am still on a high - I feel as though I have taken acid and drunk a bottle of brandy but I have done neither

Ha Ha jean, now was this better than Mr Grey.

Me too. It hasn't sunk in, I was convinced that he wouldn't win. My favourite has never won .

LOL - not even started reading it yet - was too busy dialling Luke's number.

I wanted him to win from the start so I could not be any happier with the result

I do not craft that much but if I was crafting more I would definitely get myself something to make my crafting life much easier.

Always happy to support a paper crafter.

A Luke A supporting paper crafter doubly so.

Luke has tweeted

Congrats to Luke A. Adam was my fav but in the end as long as he or Luke got it, I knew I'd be very happy. If Deana had got it, I've been just happy!!!

I just love their cuddle at the end, love their friendship. Well done all for supporting him in times when it got quite nasty re him on the forum. Great victory for the three of them really considering at times it was them against the rest (face to face noms). I'm happy for you that your fav came through and mine came second!!!

Thank you I think most people on here would have also have been elated if Adam or Deana had won too, they were a great final 3 and are winners in their own right. Luke has also promised Adam 5K .

Nice ending eh?

Yes very nice , the three outsiders were the last ones standing and my favourite won. It's just a shame the 50K couldn't have been split between Deana and Adam instead of Conor.

Omg omg omg delayed reaction by the aussie omg I'm so so so happy omg

Well done lukettes you did it! OMG

Hey Cowie, It's a great result, isn't it? I'm guessing it's about midday for you. Have you managed to watch the final yet?

Yeah I skipped much of it just watching luke's interview. OMG i've gotta go to work soon and i've been crying. Luke is amazing!

I know, it was so emotional such a great moment.

I've thought for ages deana would win but when it was him and adam left I knew the lukettes had pulled through.

I was convinced that Deana was going win, I was i shock when she came 3rd . I'm really pleased that the three soliders were the last ones standing. I loved it when Luke and Adam were clinging on to each other before the winner was announced .

I'd love him to come out for bbau like nadia did but bbau is non-smoking.

Thank you. I have pm'ed you.

I'm still in shock this morning - especially Deana coming third. I didn't expect that at all.

It's just fantastict he has won, and a real shame half the prize money went to that thug Conor. It should all have gone to Luke.
