I have a treat for you today! A treat box tutorial to be precise! It was my daughter’s 10th Birthday party this weekend and we had a small group of friends round for a ‘pamper party’ . As her actual party was over 3 weeks ago, she didn’t want a cake – we had to make ‘crazy milkshakes’ instead! But as there was no cake going home in party bags,… Read More »

We have lots of resources to use as Stampin’ Up demonstrators when it comes to finding project inspiration. I found this idea using a different set on one of our Facebook groups from Kathryn Simpson. Later another fellow demonstrator from my home country, Emma Fawcett made a similar project using the Bethlehem edgelits, I loved her version and wanted to use it in a class but needed to simplify it… Read More »

I’ve been MIA again for a little while so thought it was time to enter a challenge and was drawn to the sketch challenge at the Global Design Project. Here it is It’s not a million miles away from a little treat bag I am creating for my one day retreat next week, so I changed it up a little bit and made it an Autumnal treat.

I held my Spring Spectacular Crafternoon on Saturday. On days like these, I try to include projects that are a little different to my regular classes or a little more involved as we have more time to play. So here are a couple of them… Firstly a Spring Floral Pot, inspired by a little pot featured in Stampin’ Up’s Spring Summer catalogue. I chose to use Blushing Bride, So Saffron… Read More »
So today I am feeling very under the weather! Christmas card production has ground to a halt for the moment. Luckily, I had no events planned this weekend or that could have been disastrous. So due to my mystery bug, I don’t have a new project for you today but I thought I would share a video direct from Stampin’ Up showcasing the Pillow Box Thinlit dies. These are gorgeous… Read More »
We always make a showstopper piece at my Christmas Crafternoon and this year we made this fabulous Advent Calendar. I cased a project I found on Pinterest which you can see here, but I changed mine up a little as I don’t think my ladies would ever have forgiven me if I had asked them to make the original in an afternoon! It must have taken the lady days to… Read More »

Didn’t September fly in?! You may have arrived from Lesley, or this may be your first stop today, either way you are very welcome. Our theme this month is Gift Packaging. I must admit, in a previous life, i.e. before Stampin’ Up, I never paid much attention to packaging. Though I was very appreciative of other people’s efforts, I was the sort who was still shopping on Christmas Eve… Read More »
Morning all! It’s an emotional day in our house as little Miss C starts her first day at pre-school. That means I am just left with my baby boy at home. It is eerily quiet and you would think I have a lot of time on my hands but alas no!! I’ve got so much to do, I hardly know where to begin! Friday is also a short day for… Read More »

Where has the time gone? I missed last month which means it’s been 2 months since I’ve been part of the Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop – it sure doesn’t feel that long! It’s almost new catalogue time, excited?? Me too! As demonstrators we have the privilege of being able to receive and order early from the new catalogues and one of the sets I chose was a set called… Read More »

As I told you yesterday, they were all made using the brand new set ‘Sweet Lil’ One’ from the new catalogue and the co-ordinating DSP ‘Sweet Lil’ Things’. I used a lot of sparkle with our Silver Glimmer Paper on this Baby Shower Invitation. It’s a Stair Stepper… Read More »
I was honoured to have been asked to create a display for the UK Regional Event that took place in Telford today. It coincided with the arrival of baby Finn so I was a little pushed for time, but sure doesn’t everyone work better under pressure?! I was given the gorgeous stamp set ‘Sweet Lil’ One’ from our upcoming Annual Catalogue along with some new DSP ‘Sweet Lil’ Things’ and the… Read More »

It’s Last Chance Saloon for Fine Feathers!! Last chance for you too if you wish to… Read More »
Last week, I held my Sale-a-bration Final Fling party. This was a free party for anyone who had joined my team during SAB, or who had spent £150 with me during SAB or hosted an event for during the three months of SAB. I made all my attendees a little gift using the gorgeous Something Borrowed suite of DSP, lace trim and embellishments. It was a scissor charm in one… Read More »

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 »
