I'm rather horse!!c

Would you believe it I am choked up with the bug the kids have so only got the one card to show you today :( I just have to hope I am all clear for Friday....only 3 days to go woooohoooo!!!

Last Week's Activities

Abbie had a mad hatter's tea party at her school for Red Nose day so we had a hat to make, they had a great day and the school raised £250 + which is fab when there is only 150 kids in the school!!

These are my latest purchases, as you know I love the Gorjuss Girls and this week they brought out 'I Heart Goth' in a cute tote bag so I had to have it, I have decide to try their range of mirrors, bookmarks and key rings in the shop, I am megga excited!!!

New Shoes!!!
One of my other lurves is hello Kitty and I just had to have this pair of uber cute metalic pink flatties :)


For a change a card LOL A friend of mine makes kilts and had a heap of scraps so she gave them to me in case i could use them and I came up with this, I used Elmo for the letters but I think the next time I will print them instead, trying to get the glue on was a pain.

Valentines cards

Oh about the Gorjuss post below I've Pre-ordered mine wooooohooooo!! roll on the week of the 23rd :)

***************
Well I had a really busy day at the shop today, for some reason I got a great amount of cards made. Most of them are quite minimalistic but thats what seems to work in the shop so I need to cater for my market, I do occasionally get to throw in a FAT card as I call them with all the trimmings :)


My Fat Card

You're so Tweet!!

In between customer orders I had a chance to play with some more fabby Toodle & Binks stamps they are just the best!!

I've got a few things to share, some super uber sweet faeries & my Tilda & Edwin obsession has expanded again :) I'll be stuck in the shop making valentines cards tomorrow- I love it!!

Oh if your into knitting and are near pop ito the shop tomorrow between 10.30-12.30 for the knitting club, I'm lovin it so far I've completed two pair of fingerless gloves, a camera case for my camcorder & currently working on two blankets for the Feed The Children charity :) very productive but as always not in the ways that I should be like sorting website LOL

I forgot about this little baby so thought I'd pop it on, it's been a while since I've been on I really don't know where the time goes, this year I am going to try make a better effort to blog as I have been sadly lacking LOL

Hope Christmas was everything you hoped it would be and you all have a wonderful 2009!!!

hAnglar & stAnglar Request

I am not proud and I am going to beg on my knees if I need too!!!! Does anyone have any of these wonderful stamps for sale????

Or

Would anyone like to do a stamped image swap for some I really really really want to have a play with these beauties & you can't buy them in the UK :( they should really make a sign for my 2 yr old hissi fit but a sad face will have to do LOL

Thought I'd share a couple more Chrimbo creations :)

Latest offerings

Just a few creations I've been working on over the weeks

New Work!!

Been trying to get this finished for ages now!! still not quite complete but getting there, thought I'd better get it sorted seen as I'll be doing a workshop on it soon :)

More Elmo Work

Wanted to share with you all the reason I've been less active of late, this is the wedding order I told you about a few weeks ago. I'm not quite finished still got the place cards & favors to do but the most important bits are done. I am chuffed to bit with how they have turned out & thankfully so it the bride 2 be, I don't think I'll making this a regular thing I'd rather stick to my baby announcement cards LOL

Another pic from some design team work for Chris, I requested this fab file as I new it would be great with my new magnolia stamp & I'll hopefully get some scrapping done, seen as I live next to the beach I should have no problem finding pics to scrap

Elmo Design Team Work

This is my latest piece for Chris

For The Boys!

I really need to up my boy/men card range as I'm really shocking when it comes to catering for them & seen as I still have a few month to get sorted I really have to kick myself into shape before it's too late LOL I just love the little Sk8ter boy from Funky kits but really needed a skull & cross bones so created one with Elmo, not great but does the trick.

I haven really got much time to craft or blog as I've been given a great opportunity to start my wedding stationary business & wedding tiaras. I have been commissioned to create wedding stationary & 3 tiaras for the same bride so I'm well chuffed. Her request is a bit of a worry all she needs is for it all to contain browns & thistles, no problem I said but in my head was spinning!!!! As a trial run I've made her a hair comb for a wedding she has in a couple of weeks and I am very pleased with the result but unfortunately I forgot to take a pic.

Busy Busy

Well once I got better I had a mammoth task, create cards for a craft fair here in the village on Easter weekend, not a hard thing you may be thinking but I can only have cards with either Renie Macintosh or William Morris theme!!!! This is what I came up with, I really did find it a struggle but had a lot of help from Elmo, I've only made 150 & I'll have some soap but if I don't sell it all I'll put it in the shop if I get it open.

If you about in Cullen on the 22nd March come to the town hall from 10am till 5 pm you'll find me and a selection of textiles, soft furnishing's, jewellery & pyrography.

Happy Shopping!

Sundays

This is what they are all about, Mum & Dad where out shopping and Hubby & Kids where swimming so I had the house all to myself. I cranked the Red Hot Chili Peppers up full, thank fully we have no neighbours LOL, and I went for a shower, I was singing and dancing to my hearts content! now there's a vision. I gathered up my mini T.V, laptop, coffee,prisma pencils & headed to my room :) Oh I had a fab time playing, although I didn't get as much made as I wanted but there is always next week, I'd love to say tomorrow but I never get the time now a days!!! i did however have to tidy up before I could start anything as everything has just been dumped in over the week, so the fist pic is a before shot but really you wouldn't know I had done anything :)

This is it tided LOL

I've been desperate to play with my cowboy stamp since I made the file in Elmo with him in mind, the shape wasn't planned how ever, I made a boob with a sample for a wedding invite & the paper was so lush I came up with this solution, the patterned paper is from a download bought o the net, I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

I new I was going to be having some crafty time so I asked Chris for a file to play with, I saw this new damask inspired file on her blog and thought it would be great for a card, sad I know but I actually couldn't sleep last night until i had though up what to so with it, she is one clever lady I'm sure you'll agree if you pop onto her blog you can buy this any many more fabby file's.

This one was an experiment, I have a craft fair in Easter where I can only sell product relating to Rennie Macintosh & William Morris so I wanted to find something different. I have my chair cards but wanted something that I could sell a little cheaper, I haven't played with my embossing powders for a long time so thought I should. I melted a little powder and then added another layer and melted again, keep going till you have enough & while it's still hot push in your chosen stamp, leave it there for a seconds until you feel it hardening & lift off. I'm really pleased with the effect and fits in well with the Macintosh look.
