Has Spring arrived?

Sunday Blessings everyone.  As the chill appears to be dispersing from the air and sun is making the odd appearance I thought I'd follow through with a brightly coloured card.  Starting off with the Hobby House topper, I then chose a suitable backing paper and started on the embellishments.  Flowers were cut in white card using the small, medium and large Britannia flower dies, the word mother was cut from a Britannia sentiment die and the foliage is a Cheery Lynn die.  These were all then coloured using Pro Markers to ensure I got the desired colours.  A few bits of Card Candy were added for the finishing touch.

Just hanging about

Quick and simple make

The night before we left to travel to the NEC I had to rustle up a couple of samples for the new Hobby House toppers that were just delivered to the shop that day!!!    Nothing like a tight deadline eh.  Lol.  Anyway I managed to get some done and this is one of them.  Isn't she simply gorgeous. 

Oohhh enticing prize!!!

Don't be fooled..

Yes, yes, I know this leaflet is advertising a DoCrafts demo but don't be fooled... On the day, there will be not one, not two but three demonstrators in store.  Obviously there is DoCrafts but, there will also be Spellbinders and Britannia die cutting demonstrations on the go too so will be worth a wee visit.  

Spring has arrived.

Sitting here having fun using my Britannia dies to make some pretty bright and cheerful flowers for next Saturdays demo..  just the colours we need after all the snow and the icy chill factor we are still feeling.

Happy Easter Everyone

Art Parts fun

Just realised I hadn't posted a pic of my completed project!  Been so busy with the NEC, birthdays and wedding invite planning that I completely forgot. Doh.  Lol.

Anyway, this was the end result of my wee play with the following items:
Art Parts, ink dangers, Inka-gold, clearly for art, resist paper, distress stains, fran-tage and perfect pearls.  Nothing like having a good old play with no product restrictions, guidelines etc.  Really need to find time to do it on a regular basis as its good for the soul and keeps the mojo flowing. 

Anyway, off now to plan some samples for next Saturdays demo at Craft World in Hillington so that should keep me out of trouble for another wee while. Lol.

Happy crafting

So proud..

A recent write up in the local newspaper about Brianna..  funny they report it now as this happened about 6 months ago.  Lol.  Still very proud though. 

Gaynor and Jessica.. 

Staff from Samuel Taylors enjoying some relaxation time.  This was also Toms last staff night out as he has moved on to study CAD..  we wish him all the best in his new venture, though he will be sadly missed and we did have a big group hug on Sunday night before our vans parted ways. 

Pre break down chat around 4pm before we all went at 100mph to get everything packed and the vans on the road hoping not to encounter any snow on the long drive home.  Fortunately everyone seems to have stayed safe. 

Donald and Gaynor from Craft World along with David from Samuel Taylors sharing a few laughs at Peachy Keens.
