Convention 2011 Swaps

There’s always a buzz around Convention time.  Sadly I don’t feel as prepared as I ought to be this time round.    I did manage to squeeze in making some swaps, but not as many as in previous years. I started with a box of the new DSP printed brads in the new In Colors and […]

Countdown to Christmas #1

It’s an early start for me today, off to Convention in Paris Disneyland catching the early flight to Orly from Southampton, so I’ve scheduled some posts.   I’m catching the 7 am flight and have to leave home at 5 am!  My DH is a superstar, having to drive me there and then put in a […]

Polar Party, Pines & Pointsettias Pop Out card

I must be on a roll! Two posts this week, after dropping down to one at best!  The trouble is trying to find the time to  take photos of the projects. It isn’t just a question of point and shoot.  It’s finding the time to set up the studio, photograph,  upload, edit the photos before they’re deemed useable for […]

Pines & Pointsettias Tri-Shutter Album

                                      Another week gone by and I still haven’t really had time to blog.   This was one of the samples I’d made for a workshop last Thursday which I just had to share.  I’ve made these tri-shutter albums before, but haven’t posted and this is an updated version based on Andrea Walford’s original with the Holly Berry Specialty […]

Happy Halloween!

Just a quick card (from my personal collection) to wish everyone a Happy Halloween.  I’ve used the new glimmer brads and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes on page 86 of the Main Idea Book & Catalogue.  The background is the jumbo “Texture” wheel inked in Old Olive. It’s been rather quiet on my […]

Easy Events

Oh dear, has it really been that long since I last posted? My family are visiting from abroad and I seem to be chasing my tail, barely having sufficient time to keep up with my SU committments let alone blog so sadly that has taken a back seat. It was my own team quarterly meeting […]

Halloween Vignettes

Way back in September I made a Halloween “lollie” wreath as part of my pre-launch catalogue event for my Hostesses.  I haven’t had the opportunity to blog it till now. Having seen my Halloween project, some of the ladies asked if I would do a class on how to make it.  I had to completely change […]
