Hi again - hope you had a fab weekend.

I've just recovered from an afternoon of crafting with 3 friends.

More of what we made another time.

Here are 2 cards I've made this evening for friends birthdays - one

I'm going to be late for - sorry Barbara!

Both are made using Lucky Limeade (just love it) - one of the new In Colours -

and the arty farty angle!

I'm also into daubing at the moment!!!

We Now Do Fabric!

Hi everyone - long time no post - sorry!

I've spent the last couple of days unpacking, stroking and playing

with all the fab goodies I had delivered from the new catalogue.

be warned at the moment, due to demand, deliveries are taking a bit

longer but well worth the wait!

Here is a card I've made using the new fabric.  It comes in a pack with

3 different designs and as you can see it goes through the Big Shot a treat!

And this is the arty farty angle!

That's all for now

Hi everyone - it can't be Friday so soon!!!

I had a lovely day yesterday crafting - mainly making samples

with all the lovely new products that you will be soon be able to get

your little mits on!!! But more of that later.  

Here is the project we made on Monday.

Thanks to Jules, my SU baby, for the instruction - as you can see 

they worked a treat and we all made this lovely card bag.

Here you can see the tabbed cards inside the bag ready for you

to write down all those important birthdays and anniversaries

you don't want to forget.  There is also room to store the cards 

you make in advance - no excuse of forgetting where you put them!

That's all for now - have a fab weekend

Hello at last!!!

Blogger has frozen me out for the last few weeks but I'm here

now thanks to Alison who suggested accessing my blog via

Google Chrome - so here I am - again!!!

Whilst I've been frozen out we've had a new addition to the 

family - Pete's great-grandson - Joshua Anthony.

Mother and baby are doing fine.

Here is the card I made to mark the occasion.

It's taken so long to get back to the blog that it's now bedtime!
