Some scrapping!!

I have finally managed to get a couple of layout finished this week and thought you might want to see. I started about 4 different pages a few weeks ago but didn't get them finished. I had chosen some photos and picked out some papers but that was about it.

This first one is a layout about the characters at the Haven Holiday Parks. The children all adore these guys and having been to Haven a few times now my daughter loves them and looks forward to seeing them.



And this one is about how H always had her shoes off, hat off and was generally a right "Wriggle Bum" when out and about in the pushchair!

I'm not very good at using more than 1 photo in my layouts so these pages were a bit of a challenge for me.

Shop Stuff....Don't forget we still have 25% off Everything in the shop!!! You are all doing well at helping me reduce the amount of stock we will have to move so thank you.

I am still trying to finalise the location and date of our first Open Day/Craft Day but will post the details here as soon as I can.

I have a class tomorrow, "Dresses, bags and shoes" and will put the cards we make on here tomorrow evening for you to see.

Have a great weekend!

Spring Cards

Thank you to everyone who has visited the shop or phoned /e mailed over the last few days regarding the changes, your kind comments and good luck messages are much appreciated.
Lots of you have asked to be added to my mailing list so that you get updates and news on our upcoming craft days and on line shopping facilities straight into your inbox. If you want to be added please email me putting "Mailing List" in the subject line.

After so many recent text heavy posts I thought we needed some cards...

The first one is one of "Little Claires" stamps called "Emma Flower", coloured with promarkers, the flower head is stamped a second time, cut out and 3D'd on top with silicone glue (although the 3D doesn't show too well in the photo). The patterned paper is from the 6 X 6 My Minds Eye Paper Pack, punched along the bottom edge with a Martha Stewart punch, then matted onto red card.

The next 2 cards are both made using a gorgeous set of clear butterfly stamps from Hero Arts.

The blue card is a scalloped circle cut with nestabilities and edges inked. The butterflies are stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The corners of the background card has been punched with the Woodware Inverted corner punch. A Hunky Dory greeting, ribbon and gem stones to finish.

The final card uses the Hero Arts Butterfly set again, this time using the little trail stamp as well as one of the butterflys, both stamped in lime green. The trails really are great as you can place it wherever you want using a clear acrylic block to see where to place it. The base card is made from pale green card and I used My Minds Eye Patterned paper with one torn edge as the background, ribbon and gems to finish.

Hope you like!!

I'm planning some crafting time tomorrow so will put any cards I get made on the blog in the next day or 2.

Right, I'm off to watch the rest of the Bridget Jones film.

Have a great crafty weekend!

NEWS!!!

RELOCATION SALE starts 10am Thursday 14th January.

25% OFF EVERYTHING!!

We have decided not to renew the lease on the current shop when it expires early March. As yet we have not found suitable alternative premises so for the next few months at least we will focus on the on line shop and also plan to hold Craft Days/Evenings at local venues.

Obviously this will come as sad news to many but I would like to stress that Maisie May Crafts is not closing completely, only closing the Bricks and Mortar shop to enable the on line business to grow. We also plan to hold lots of events where you can indulge in your crafting and stock up on stash!!

Obviously, we don't want to move all the current stock out so we have 25% off all stock!!

An e mail has been sent today to everyone on the mailing list with more information.

I would like to thank all our customers for their support over the last 11 months and also to the class teachers who are all fantastic.

Bad Weather ~ Shop closed today!

Unfortunately due to heating problems at the shop, meaning in the current wintery weather conditions it is absolutely freezing in there I have had to close the shop. I am hoping to get things sorted out to reopen again tomorrow (Friday) but please do check the website by clicking HERE before setting off from your home.

I hope everyone had an absolutely fantastic Christmas and I would like to wish all our customers a belated Happy New Year.

Keep warm and if you do have to go out in the ice and snow, please take care!
