Naughty sneaky peek....

Good Evening All

I am busrting with excitement about my latest project(s), but I can't tell you everything just yet...

All I can tell you is that I've thought and worked hard on it to get everything just right, for me (and I'm not easy to please) and, hopefully, for you all too!

Here's a little, teeny, tiny piece of one of the things I am working on...

I can't show you any more, yet!

You will (as I will too!) have to wait just a few more weeks :o)

Anyhoo, here you go :o)

Told you it was a teeny bit lol

Happy Crafting!

Pro Marker Workshop..

Good Evening Everyone

Just a quick not for those of you who are coming to my Pro Marker workshop this Sunday..

We are starting at 11 and finishing at 2 (3 hours)

All you need to bring is your pro markers.. doesn't matter if you don't have all the colours, bring what you have :o)

See you on Sunday!

Revamped :o)

Good Evening Everyone!

Just a quick post to let you know I have revamped the side bar -------}}}

You can now see a header for each category and, hopefully, it will make it easier for you to see when my next Create & Craft Shows are, my Demo Days (and where they are) and some useful quick links to my Facebook Pages, Twitter Page and Online Shop.

I will (telling myself there!) remember to update it! So you will always know what is happening etc

Hope you like the colour of the headers, I've changed it 6 times in the last 24 hours! haha

It's worth clicking on my shops' facebook page and clicking the 'like' button to keep up to date with my Craftathons, Classes and new products that are coming in (If you haven't already) 

Anyhoo, enough rattling... let me know if it makes sense!

Monochrome Fancy Box and Note Cards

Good Morning Everyone

Just a quick post this morning as I've got a list of jobs as long as my leg to be getting on with!

I wanted to show you my latest Fancy Note Card Box... I absolutely love making these so thought, after the last 'batch' proved so popular, that I would make a monochrome version in Black & White..

Just so you know, the stamp I have used is the Indigo Blu Vintage Flourish, which you can get here .. It's one of my personal faves and sells out every time I get it in the shop!

The punches I've used to create the flowers are by Woodware and Tonic..

Tonic Ones are here..

Woodware ones are here ...

Anyhoo... Here are the photos!

Remember it's my Demo Day in the shop this Sunday, 12th May... details are here 

Happy Crafting!

A5 Fancy Note Card Box

Good Afternoon Everyone

I hope you are having a great Easter weekend :o)

I thought I'd pop a couple of photos on of a project we made at our March Craftathon at my shop yesterday ... I love this project so much, I made another one in a different colour scheme! :o)

This is a fabulous idea (I cannot take credit for the idea as I saw it on another blog months ago, I can't remember whose though, i t was months ago), but I have added my own style to it :o)

This is a fancy A5 sized box, with a box inside that houses note cards and envelopes... I love it and can see me making lots of variations of this when I get half an hour free :o)

But, for now, I will show you the blue one and the pink one that I have done so far...

Here's the blue one :o)

Playing with Distress Ink Pads...

Good Morning Everyone!

Welcome to March and (hopefully) better, warmer, sunnier weather and the promise of Spring... 

I posted a couple of photos of cards I have made on Facebook and Twitter last night and have had so many people email me to ask which colours I used and which stamps, it's easier for me to tell you all in one go on here than spend half a day replying lol

So, here we go!

Most of you know me well enough by now to know that I love my distress ink pads for edging, but I also love using them for creating backgrounds and watercolouring stamped in with..

Such a versatile product and one of my 'must haves'!

The stamps I used are IndigoBlu - Wild Meadow

Here's Version 1

The colours I have used were:

Tea Dye

Spiced Marmalade

Wild Honey

Rusty Hinge

Ripe Persimmon

Here's Version 2

The colours I have used were:

Tumbled Glass

Weathered Wood

Faded Jeans

Dusty Concord

Chipped Sapphire

And, for a completely different 'use', here's Tilda watercoloured with distress inks :o)

Happy Crafting and, of course, Happy Distressing!!

DL Tag Card Workshop

Good Afternoon Everyone!

It's a bit breezy here in Nottingham today, but I'm not complaining.... at least the snow has gone and 'normal' life has resumed!

OK, I have had quite a few requests from people asking me to put photos on my Facebook and Twitter of the cards we have made at my classes...

It's actually easier for me to pop them on my blog (and quicker) so here you go... 

This is our project from this week...

This is a DL Tag card in Cream & Black, using one of the fabulous Saturated Canary images..

Most of you know by now that I adore my Pro Markers, I very rarely make a card where I haven't coloured in and distressed something! And if you look closely, you will see that (as you'd expect) my edges are inked! :o)

I also love my punches and use them all the time... the little butterflies, the heart, the tags and the flowers have all been made using my punches.... 

They are all on my website too, so if you like them... here's a link

Hope you like this project... I love it and I'm in the middle of a pink and cream version now :-)

Happy Crafting!

Flip Album Page 3 :-)

Good Evening Everyone

Our Journey into my Flip Album continues with this page from our Christmas in New York a few years ago.

We loved New York and took so many photos that there will have to be more than one page for it!

Needless to say, this was the winter we had all the really bad snow and New York got it too, as my next page (page 4) will show you!

I hope you like this page, I really enjoyed creating this one, love the colours, the patterned papers and the fact that, for once, I have only used 3 photos!

Here it is, let me know if you like it :-)

Happy Crafting!
