quick post

Ok so i've found my camera... yay!  however i can't find the card reader to be able to upload any of my pictures and that could be anywhere since my dh felt the need to tidy the house while we were away at the show!

Any way here is a photo i "borrowed" from Rosina  one of my down line  it was taken very early on sunday morning so we looked a little more awake than we did by 5pm !! it's just missing one member of the team Steph as i think Rosina's husband was eager to take the photo before we changed our minds and hid!

You can see some of the display behind us and i'll upload more when i can....


But for now i'm going to leave you all with the reminder that tomorrow is your very last chance to order from the retired list and orders need to be paid for when placed so i can place them.

so make sure you contact me ASAP!!!

But on a positive note that means we are only a day away from the new catalogue!!  exciting stuff!!  if you haven't pre ordered your catalogue then why not!!  contact me today and don't forget to check back on Friday to view the online version of the catalogue!

Also just to let you know that the prize draws have been drawn for today and yesterday and all the shows winners wil be listed on here on monday!

simply special

I just love these papers i'm really going to miss them ..... but i'm sure i will find something i love just as much in the new catalogue!.

I used the bride speciality paper and coloured it with black ink to create the black bird which i used the two step bird punch for..

I'm getting really excited about the new catalogue now i can't wait!

pretty pansies

I've seen a few of these cards but thought i'd give it a go my self and it was actually alot of fun, once i had figured out the template for it :) although i'm sure i probably could have found a template somewhere had i looked for long enough, how ever i knew exactly what i wanted and here it is.

This is the type of project my mum loves so i might save it for her birthday i'm taking it to the craft show tomorrow so if you're around come and check it out for real!

mmmmm cupcakes

I made one of these before a little while a go but in different colours this time i thought i'd go a pink just as a bit of a change from the kraft and neutrals i've been showing you recently.

Class instructions will soon be available for this project too, it's loads of fun and simple too.

curly kraft

I seem to be going a bit kraft crazy at the moment i just love it, I used the all a flutter stamp along baroque motifs for this card with kraft (Cookie crumb) card stock and ink and white satin ribbon.

Very simple and elegant.

Thanks for dropping by!

circle circus

I always struggle with male cards but thought this colour combination of kraft and black was quite a nice combination and great for men so here's my super quick thank you card using the circle circus stamp set.

Thanks for dropping by ( i promise to post a bit more regularly this week)

cherishing memories

scrapbook saturday again...... i've been talking with some of my team girls aka Abi's Angels about scrap booking lately and i was really surprised by how daunting they found the idea of doing a layout  I know they are not alone so i suggested they think of their layouts just like a large card but the focal image is their photo not a stamped image so i'm waiting to see what they come up with :)

Any how here is my scrap book page for this week I used baroque motifs stamp set with kraft ( soon to be  crumb cake) and chocolate chip and vanilla card stock.

My photo's will be in sepia!! ( when i get around to printing them)

ALSO MUST NOT FORGET   that today is a special day for two of my lovely angels  Rosina and Amanda  who both have their birthdays today  congratulaions and Happy Birthday!!!!    hope your little suprises arrived this morning in the post!  Have a great day!

Unfortunately i can't post pictures of their goodies or cards as i used my new products which will be in the new catalogue next month and i'm not allowed to post them on my blog so be sure to check back next month to see those :)

Elegant birdies

sorry for the serious lack of posts this week life has been a bit hectic but i promise there's loads of stuff to show you over the coming weeks....

here's my card for the funky friday challenge this week which is a sketch which i might have tweaked slightly for this card but i like it.

I used bordering blue kraft( crumb cake) vanilla  and chocolate chip.

I will pop back later and update you all on the retired list out of stock items.

Something sweet

Quick and cute today!

I've had these little pots for ages and thought it was about time to use them,  and as everyone knows it's time for school to start again,  Feeling a bit worried about my baby starting school and hoping hoping he doesn't realise how worried i am thought i'd make the boys some little treats to come home to from their first day ( yes i know it's not till next week but i haven't named their uniforms yet!)

Any way I used the Something sweet stamp set from the mini catalogue...with some red gingham ribbon which is retiring this month so if you like it make sure you let me know and order some before it's gone!

If there is anything on the reitired list you are after please let me know as stocks are limited and they will at some point run out  so order early so you aren't dissapointed!
