Hi Crafty Pals,

Yep I'm still here plugging away with the blog. I just hope you are liking some of my creations.

So we are down to the final 3 cards and then I'm up to date with my creations, but I have a Stampin' Up!^® promotion to post as well. I don't think I've done this much blogging in one day before phew.

I hope you've enjoyed my parade of cards and if you have been tempted to try some of the great products from the new 2013 Spring Catalogue or the 2012-2013 Annual Catalogue then I'd be pleased to help you. You can order 24 - 7 from my online shop or email me and I can place an order on your behalf.

Have you started your Valentines yet? No (me neither) keep checking back as that's my plan over the next few days.

Keep crafting as it's a great way to unwind.

My latest haul has arrived

Good afternoon,

Well the weather outside may be miserable today, but inside my craft room the sun is shining as my longed for Top Note Stampin' Up!^® Bigz Die and it's traveling companions arrived.

Apart from that I bought some other supplies to make a wonderful holiday card that I saw on YouTube by another one of my favourite go-to crafters Stamp with Tami. If you have never seen her videos or her blog I'd recommend a visit. Once I've made it I'll put up a post and include a link to her actual video.

I also got a set of the Festive Paper-Piercing templates which coordinate with so many products, but works well on their own to add extra little touches.

I can see over the next few weeks some busy afternoons at my table creating decorations for a school event, preparing for my open house, teacher holiday thank yous (only 5 to create for) and finally making a start on my holiday cards.

Hope you pop back soon to see my next creations.

Best wishes and try to find some time to get inky.

World Card Making Day - My project

Hi,

Well Saturday was World Card Making Day so I hope you all managed to grab a few minutes to yourself and make something beautiful.

I spent a bit of time tidying up and then decided to make a thank you card as we have a school event coming up towards the end of October and I wanted to be prepared for once!

Same as my sticky notes holder I had photo troubles - I think I need more light on the card and a better background. I stood it on my chest freezer and propped up a piece of card behind. Maybe my card making won't improve but my pictures will.
