Sunday, Sketch & Stamp

We I am stunned that it S,S & S time again :) we have a fabbi sketch for but this time, not sure is did it justice though my head is all over the place trying to get the classes for next year sorted for the shop.

Anyhoo my inspiration for this card was again they lovey Jenny, she is such a clever girlie!!! I used my stunning double sided Paperartsy papers & stamp set as well as some Sugar Nellies :) Coloured by the wonderful Copics and bling with the help of Swarovski crystals!

Now not only do we have a great sketch to used but an AMAZING prize's from the lovely Tracy over at Squiggle Stamps is up for grabs so get yourself over and join in for a chance to win!!!

OMG Only 9 Days To GO!!!!

I have no idea where the time is going!!! I am in the middle of getting the sale sorted for the shop before we close for the hols, I can't wait :) Lots of last mins things being organised, including the most important school Chrimbo party LOL

All the presents are ordered so if they don't turn up on time then there isn't much I can do, I refuse to get stressed about it as it's just not worth it, the main thing will be that we are all together with no work or school worries :)

I really neeed to get the lighting sorted for my pics :( I'll have to have a major cleaning spree in the shop and get my tent a space sorted so my pics are brighter.

This was just a pic showing a tree made with my Martha S branch punch, it's not my own invention I saw it somewhere in blogland, but not sure where so I can give credit soz!

It looks so much better in real life & sparkles beautifully with it's little red Swarovski Crystals :)
I've got right into Mirri card at the mo, I haven't used it much before but wow what I've been missing it's great stuff, so I'll be stocking more colours in the shop from now on :)

Last pics of the bead order we got in, aren't they fab!!!

Hope you are more sorted for Christmas than I am LOL x

Christmas Is Getting Closer :)

I am getting soooooo excited about the festive season :) shopping is nearly done and for some strange reason the kids have been really had to but for this year and everyone else has been simple!! The above cards are from a last min order :)

A few pics of the last bead order we received before Chrimbo, the colours are just fabbi :)

Last Bead Order!!!

We have had our last order of beads arrive today :) I don't think I need say much more about their loveliness.

Copics & Christmas Cards :)

We have COPICS!!!! Our final Copic Ciao order arrived this morning, wooohoooo! This is the last order before the price hike in January where the RRP is £2.50, thats what us crafters get for making them soooo popular lol but they are still worth it ;)



I have had a last min order for 8 A5 cards, not a huge problem I hear you cry, but for me its MASSIVE as I don't do A5 cards lol It started with 5 but my customer was that chuffed she has ordered another 3!! I must admit they have caused me some stress and I copped out and put big ribbon on them all :) I'll share the others with you soon x

Lurvely Beads & Forever Friends :)

Another bead delivery dropped on the door mat, with some real luch vibrant colours to brighten up your jewellery :) We have another due this week hopefully with some more of the large fab black rounds that sold out, I made a necklace & earrings with mine but I'm thinking I don't like it much so it may be taken apart!!

We also had some cute Forever friends Elements arrive in the shop, well along with paper punches, sticky ribbons and lots more :)

Sunday, Sketch & Stamp

I am a tad late with my sketch this week soz! Things are manic with me at the mo as I am still trying to get back on top of things after my sickness.

I had a great time with this sketch, I did go a bit wrong with my sentiment, I took the paper off the sticky pad and dropped it & it landed where it is now LOL

Some Yummy Yummy Beads Have Arrived!!!!

Aren't these babies just beauts!!!! Fresh in this morning, I have a few more of the new range to share with you but I'll be a tease and show you in the next day or two, but I will warn you get in quick as they are selling fast on their first day, I swear my beader's can smell the deliveries as their timing is impeccable LOL

Wrapped up All Gorjuss

I found this yummy K & Co paper in my stash this week and had to play :) seen as I've missed out on a whole heap of crafting I have been itching to get into my stuff!!!

I have decided to make more of an effort to use what I have, due to the fact I have a real bad habit of just taking what I fancie off the shelves, I know it sounds great but I can't move for all the stash only used once lol

The weather has been bitter this week & I was in the mood to do something cosy and this little lady fits the bill perfectly, as always I used my wonderful Copic pens to colour.

I am really into punches at the mo, the bigger the better seems to be the theme of the day, I am lovin the EK whale of a punch I took delivery of this fab swirl & the retro flower which the fab Tracy from Squiggle Stamps demoed a fab shabby Chic flower that can be made with it YUM I'll share pics soon x

I'm Back!!!!

I'm finally back on my feet & taken back the shop from Hubs, who done a grand job according to my customers who have been in to welcome me back :) it was great to hear from them how well he managed, it just goes to show that he does pay attention sometimes in my craft world LOL

I had a fair few card orders to get through & the Chrimbo deco's to be put up so no easing myself in slowly, it was great to be back especially when the deliveries start arriving this week :)

The lovely Jenny made a lush easel card and I thought I'd try it out again for this customer order, I used the MEGGA lush Bo Bunny 'Love Bandit' papers they are truly fabbi & available for sale in the shop in 6x6 pks. I'm looking forward to having a try at the accordion cards Jenny made too as it was very clever & very effective, she's such a clever girl!!

Christmas has arrived in the store :) I have a little MOO card tree all decked out LOL it looks better in the flesh honest!!!

If you can get yourself to the shop for your last min Christmas crafts from Do Crafts as we have low stocks left with a 15% discount!!!

Nothing new

I'm afraid I can't remember if I'd shared these with you, but I have nothing new to share as I'm ill :( popping plenty of pills though as I WILL make it to New Moon tomorrow!!!!!

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!!!

Squiggle Stamp Demo Day!!

Just a quick couple of pics for the fantastic demo we had with Squiggle Stamps it was such a brill day & I am ever so grateful for the girls and our lovely customers who took the time to visit considering what has happened to the bridge :) We had some amazing creations demonstrated and best of we got to purchase some megga cute rubber :) But don't worry if you couldn't make it through we will be having another demo day penciled in for the Spring with some of Squiggle Stamps new designs, can't wait!!!

Thanx Tracy & Jenny for such a great time xxx

A card inspired by Jenny who was a wizz with these at the demo :) I used one of the lovely new Stamping Bella Stamps with this one
