Giveaway winner

Good morning!
I hope you have all had as good a weekend as I have.

I spent Saturday with a dozen top ladies, they all seemed to enjoy what we made in class. 
Then yesterday was spent with Stevie & Amber, Stevie and myself gave the car a desperately needed clean inside & out-it doesnt even look like the same car. 
Then it was off to the beach, we didnt come home until after 9pm!

But back to work today, and my first job of the week is to announce the winner of the awesome Splodge Away blending mat, kindly donated by Tom & Susan from Suzicraft.


And the winner is Crafty Old Me Lise.
Congrats, your gonna love this mat!
Let me have your address Lise, my email is over on the top left.

See you soon.

Magpies and UTEE

Good Morning, this is another early morning post, so obviously its been scheduled- I only do one 6.30 in the day!
This is another card using the stunning Magpie stamps from Claritystamp.

The papers are from Payperbox, I grabbed a load of these as I really liked the colours and subtle designs.
I made the topper with UTEE poured over the stamp, which was inked with Brilliance ink.
Hope you like!

Oh Joy

Good morning, well I assume so, because when this goes live at 6.30 am I will be fast asleep I hope!

Today's card is a magazine card for my first blog diary in Creative Cardmaking issue 40, I saw it on the shelf in a craft shop and my little photo stared back at me on the front cover- that was wierd!


The paper used is Up Up & Away from First Edition, dont think it should be called paper though-its far too luxurious!
Not much inky stuff on this card, I just inked edges.
There is plenty of inkyness in the card for issue 42 though, itson sale now I believe.

See you soon!

A cool giveaway!

Good morning!

I told you yesterday about a giveaway didnt I, here it is.

Its a Splodge-Away Blending Mat!

This one is 8 inches, they are also available in 12inch too, the website is just about up & running I believe, as is the new blog for the design team to show off their work.

Sooo, what do you need to do to be in with a chance of winning this one?

I will pick a random winner at the weekend

Good luck!

A lovely weekend

Hello!
Well its the start of another fresh new week and I actually feel ready to tackle this one.

I took the day off yesterday to do stuff with Stevie & Amber, I try to do that when I have been away working for a couple of days.

I spent Friday in Sedgefield assisting my good buddy Annette Lee with her Clarity workshop, really good fun followed by a curry & bottle of wine back at Mike & Annette's.

Saturday was Annettes turn to come and give me a hand at my workshops at one of my all time fave craft shops, Suzicraft in Stockton on Tees.

 Have a look at my beautiful flowers, Thank you so much Susan & Tom for cheering me up!!!!

It was great to see lots of the suzicraft gang again, they are a fantastic bunch of crafters.
and it was treat holding Mo's dangler for him too - dont ask!

Im looking forward to seeing you all again in August.

While I was there, Tom kindly let me have a Splodge-Away mat to give away here on bloggy, so come back tomorrow to put your name on the list and for details of the new Splodge-Away blog.

Have a good one!

Your Lilac carriage awaits...

Good Morning.
This is another scheduled post because I have allsorts going on at the moment at home & work.


Todays card is using the Clarity Classroom set from beginning of the month.

I stamped onto Black Clarity card and dusted with mica powder from Stamps Away, Im loving their mica colours.
I had lots of grand plans forthis stamp set but didnt get to do all the things I wanted, so I must try and come back to this set.

If your off work for the weekend, enjoy!
I will be working and hopefully eating biscuits with my friend Annette Lee today and then at Suzicrafts in Stockton tomorrow.

Have a good one whatever your doing!

Mica and Masks


Good Morning!
I thought I would show you something a little different today, this is using the Posy Patch stamps from Heartfelt Creations.
I stamped and masked the flowers, then masked the top & bottom of the card, Rubbed the middle area with Versamark and brushed with Mica Powder.  The shimmer doesnt show up in the picture but its lovely.
I decoupaged some of the flowers just Black & White, the top flower I covered in versamark before sprinkling with a little mica and then clear embossed for an enamelled look.

See you soon!

More Red,White & Blue

A fresh week, what will it bring I wonder.

Here is another card using the Clarity Union Flag stamps.

I love that the pieces are separate so you can build your flag up.
I stamped the background and then spritzed with plenty of water to make it faded/smudged.
I used acetate again on this one.


Thats it for today, have a good one!

Good morning, it should really be slipper day but it may not be safe!  I am at Happy Stampers, Port Sunny today with Barbara and the team, its always a busy one so my toes are safer in boots for today!
 
Here is another of my Clarity tv cards (this batch didnt arrive so I have to hunt them down on Monday)
 
Ink used is Cranberry Adirondack.


Have a good weekend.

Oriental Film & Fibres

Good Morning!
Hope you are all well,wherever you are,whatever your up to.

You may have noticed I have been a bit slack lately with bloggy, to be honest its been a combination of being mad crazy busy and also having to keep most of what Im creating a bit secret.

So,this is what I found that I could show you.

This was one of the designs I demo'd for Claritystamp at Ally Pally a couple of weeks ago.
Little bit of Brayering with Film/Fibres.

Thats all folks!
Have a good one.
