Last night we had our monthly team night. We like to catch up, swap cards for ideas and inspiration and do a couple of make and takes. Last night it was my downline Ali’s turn to introduce her Make and Take and we did some fab punch art. I just love him, he’s so cute! Punch Art is such a great way to make use of your scraps and adults… Read More »
2015 has arrived! Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? I must admit, I don’t make any ‘formal’ resolutions as I rarely even remember what they were come March! I am going to try and look after myself a little bit more, drink a bit more water, exercise a little but no ridiculous resolutions that I know I wont keep up with. I’m also going to try and keep up with… Read More »
It’s been a week since I wrote a post – sorry about that! I don’t know about you, but though I love Christmas and have been making Christmas cards since August, it still sneaks up on me and I suddenly realise I still haven’t bought all my Christmas presents and I’m running out of time and ideas, aaaaagggghhhh!! Is anyone else like me or are you all super-organised? Today, I had… Read More »
I’ve had a great reaction to my tealight lantern that I posted recently. Many of you have requested the instructions so here goes… I was first inspired by a tealight lantern I saw by a Dutch SU demo Aida. You can see her version on her facebook page . I knew I wanted to use the Holiday home bundle and unfortunately Aida’s measurements didn’t suit my design so I had to… Read More »
So Saturday was the day of my Christmas Crafternoon! I don’t do these events very often, but I really enjoy them. Having four hours together gives me the opportunity to showcase projects we wouldn’t normally have time for in a normal weekday class. So what did we get up to this time, well you may remember my sneak peak photos from a couple of weeks ago, but if not here… Read More »
I’m kicking off a week of Cardmaking classes with my Mum and Me class this morning at 9.30am – and I couldn’t think of a better way to kick it off with a group of Mums and their little ones! We will spend the morning making 4 cards – similar to my Fast and Fabulous class but just with a little extra time to allow for a few cuddles, feeds… Read More »
If you have worked through your wish list from the Autumn Winter catalogue, guess what? We have even more Stamping delights for you in the brand new Autumn-Winter supplement. The Catalogue was so jam-packed with loveliness, we had to create an extra supplement. Feel free to download your own copy using the links on the right hand side-bar. It will be a little strange on opening as the real life paper… Read More »
There has been so much exciting news from Stampin’ Up this month, that it’s taken me a while to get round to showing you the last of my team swaps. When we swap, we don’t always swap a full card, we just swap the card front or even just an element of the card. With this card, my downline, Caroline Thomas swapped a card front with us. You can see here… Read More »

Just a quick post from me today as I wanted to show you a video direct from Stampin’ Up showcasing our Spiral Flower Die. This product was first seen in our Spring Summer catalogue which retires at the end of this month, however, the good news is this product is continuing in our brand new Annual catalogue which is out on July 1st. A lot of our current stock is… Read More »
This post is a bit picture heavy, so bear with it! Did you know I run regular monthly classes here at my craft room? I also run private classes both here and at the venue of your choice for a minimum of four people. I had a private class this week for four lovely ladies and here you can see the set up before their arrival. We focused the projects… Read More »
I have an all day Fayre coming up this weekend so have been busy getting some stock ready for my booth. I thought I would show you this frame that I created using the Baby We’ve Grown stamp set. I’ve used Soft Sky, Silver Glimmer Paper and Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack. I’ve also used Banner Blast that was available during our Sale-a-bration promotion earlier this year and its matching… Read More »
