10 more sleeps to go...

Sorry for my dreadful lack of blogging....been busy making all my Christmas cards, just got a few more to do, then its write and post them. Why do I always seem to leave it so late?!! I cannot believe its only 10 more sleeps until Christmas Day! I hope you are all far more organised than I am and that you are almost ready for the Big Day!

If you do need a few last minute gifts for your crafty friends or find you have run out of something the shop is open up until 2pm on Monday 21st December. We are then closed for our Christmas break until Saturday 2nd January when we reopen at 10am. Also we will be closing at 1.00 pm on Friday 18th December as Hannah's school has early closing for the last day of term.

Have a good evening and hope you are keeping warm!

Go Jack!

Just a very quick post tonight!

Thought I would share a very simple layout with you. The photos are of my nephew Jack showing us how fast he could go on his new Go Kart. I've used the new Rough and Tough papers and stickers from Fancy Pants, Bazzill cardstock, Glitter Thickers for the title, a few buttons and a black gel pen to frame it. Very simple but sometimes less is more. All papers are in stock at the shop.

The new Creative Cardmaking magazine arrived at the shop today, I know lots of you are loving the magazine and Issue 10 is another great magazine so don't forget to pop in and get your copy soon.

Thanks for visiting the blog

Demo Day Cards!

It was good to see so many people at the demo day today!! Hope you all had a great time!

I only managed to get photos of a few of the cards Kathey had made before the daylight was so poor with the bad weather this afternoon that I had to give up. But here's a few for you.

I really love these new toppers from Hunky Dory Crafts that are now in the shop, and these snow scenes are one of my favourites. You get a whole sheet of toppers and greetings so you get lots of cards from one sheet. Kathey had lots of ideas of ways to use the beautiful new card, this one is using the pale blue and silver but would look equally stunning in any of the other colours, and it's only 60p a sheet! I adore these "Easel Cards", and they fold flat for easy postage!! Kathey had some good ideas for using glossy accents ~ the snowflake is made from acetate with glossy accents all over, drop of ink, die cut then stamp the snowflake! Gives a lovely effect which unfortunately you probably can't really see on the pic.

More toppers, this time fairies!

Off to watch Strictly now!!

Have a great evening!
