New Week ...

Hi Everybody,

To start the week I thought I would make a .... Pink card !! Just for a change ...

This one is created with one of the Spellbinders Trendy background and this one is Contemporary Circles  

I have added some pink patterned paper under the die cut to add the color and then fussy cut a ribbon from the same paper.

The labels is one of the new ones Fancy Label Tags One
and is a good size to add simple sentiments to the front of the card.

The little words are from Sentiment One 

I have created a bow from the same paper using the lacy die from Bow Couture which is part of the Victorian Collection.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts    and they have been added to deep pink flourish from Want2Scrap

The cards is an A2 size and fits into a standard size envelope.  Just a simple card to get back into the swing of being back to normal ... for a little while at least

More tomorrow ...

My very best wishes ...

Hi Everybody,

This is the end of a very busy week for me and my apologies for no Friday Freebie this week.

But today I have had a lovely "Workshop" with Spectrum Noir pens and pencils in Bristol and the ladies in the class made me feel really welcome.

Tomorrow I head for home and I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.

I have a mountain of washing to do ... and I hate with a vengeance ... Ironing  ... any volunteers ????

So this card  uses the Bow Couture from the Spellbinders Victorian Collection and it sends all my best wishes to every one who has supported me over the last few weeks ... watched the shows ... emailed in to the shows ... or written to me via another medium

Many thanks especially if you purchased the whole collection to make the dies a complete sell out in the first two days and a runaway success

My very best to all the ladies who have attended both of the workshops that I have done.

I will be home tomorrow and hopefully back to normal for a little while and looking forward to my Wednesday Class with the lovely Brenda and Mary.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Last Show today ...

Hi Everybody,

Last week these shows stretched out in front of me and the whole week was planned around them

And now here we are at the end of the Pick of the Week and I have one more show left to do.

It has been an amazing time with so many sell outs and I know that you are going to enjoy playing with your purchases.

This pretty card in lemon and white is created with the Delightful Foliage and is one of the ones that can create a complete solid base for you.

On the top I have added Victorian Medallions One and topped it off with  Bow Couture

This Victorian Collection was designed specifically for us here in the UK but it will be available in other Countries mid/late October as it is exclusive to Create and Craft until then.

So for now I have some free time until going to the studio at 4 to prepare for the 6 pm show.... and the sun is shining too

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Three more shows to go ...

Hi Everybody,

Well I am down to the last three shows .... I think !!

Today there are two at 1 pm and 7 pm and then one more on Thursday at 6 pm and then off to Bristol.

I have a Spectrum Noir "Workshop" there on Saturday and that class is fully booked.

Then I am ready for home and the one thing I am really looking forward to is ..... a long hot bath !!

Hotels only have showers and I long to soak in a bubble bath and just relax .... heaven.

So here is another card from the C&C shows and I really like this one.  It is created with the  Delightful Foliage which is now sold out

It is pretty and girly with my usual pink, flowers, ribbons and pearls.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts 

The pretty gingham ribbon is from Mei Flower and blends with the design

And so I will close now and just add ...

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Wednesday Card Class

Hi Everybody,

You may remember that I told you  at the end of one class  my ladies had created a shaving foam background ready to be made into a card at the next class ...

Well here they are from last Wednesdays Class

This first one is Marys' and it is in lovely shade of lemon and peach from the Spectrum Noir refills

We have glittered the both background panels with Glitter Magic  and they look so sparkly.

Mary  has teamed hers with peach ribbon and layered it with peach card and  added in some lovely peach and orange flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts   and it looks fantastic.

Brenda has gone for purple and green with a hint of pink  and then sparkled the background in the same way

Her card has been teamed with white ribbon from  Mei Flower

Her choice of  WOC flowers is  lilacs and purples and it looks very opulent and the white panel is  embossed

Both have the addition of Hatpins pushed into the bows and I am so pleased with both cards ... and so are they

 Well done ladies you're doing great !!

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
