Website Update

Good Evening Everyone

Well, it's been a long job, but, our website has now finally moved over to the new server (with lot's of phone calls made by me to change things! and many hours of work by me updating it!)

So, you ca

n now go and have a wee looksy around and tell me what you think.... 

(and buy obviously! lol)

There's still things to add, but the majority of things are on there now, including my 'current fave' Wild Rose Studios Annabelles Christmas Stamps, which is what I used to make the card below :-)

The p and p is now as accurate as it can possibly be, 

calculated automatically by weight so that's good!

As always, you get a little Thankyou slip signed by lil ole me with each order too :-)

Anyhoo, enough rattling! Here's a link to the website :-)

Please let me know if something doesn't work (or I've spelt something wrong lol)

Please remember to register for my newsletter so you are kept up to date :-)

Happy Crafting!

Stampavie & HOTP Show Projects..

Good Afternoon Everyone

Well, it's a dreary, damp day here in Nottingham so I thought I would make the most of it, mash a cuppa and put photos on here for you of the samples I made for the Hot Off The Press and Stampavie Shows I did on Create & Craft last Saturday.

If you were watching, you'll know that the Stampavie show was a riot! With production having a little 'hiccup' on the 3 for 2 deal!

I hope you managed to get yours!

Anyway, as most of you will have seen on my Facebook page, I love HOTP kits... the Chocolate Dipped Kit being one of my personal faves as I love the warm colours in it... 

You all know I absolutely adore my Stampavie Stamps, I use them loads so, for me, these are worthy additions to my ever growing stamp collection! lol

Enough rattling, here are the samples (apart from a few I can't seem to find!) from both shows... 

I hope you like than and if you want to know what I used on any of them, just ask :-)

Happy Crafting!

**Stampavie & HOTP Saturday Show Times Update**

Good Morning Everyone

It seems I have got my show times wrong for this Saturday (6th) on Create & Craft!

I am now on ....

12noon - Hot Of The Press 

7pm - Stampavie

If I haven't mentioned it already, there is a fabulous 3 for 2 on the Stampavie show.. buy 2 stamps, get your 3rd FREE!!! 

I know this is going to be a really busy show and I've never known a 3 for 2 on Stampavie!!

I'm luck as I have all mine already, but, just be aware that there aren't huge stocks of these so be quick :-)

I'll just say too, there are some absolutely stunning stamps and paper kits on the HOTP show and these will be superb prices too :-)

Here's a little peep of a couple of the samples I've made :-)

See you at 12noon on Saturday!!

Stampavie & HOTP Shows on Create & Craft - whoo hoo!

Evening Everyone

Before I tell you about my shows on Create & Craft this Saturday, can I just say....

I have had sooooo much pleasure from creating these samples and demos!

Each and every product is fabulous! I was actually ooohhing and aaaahing at everything for about an hour before I could decide to do anything! lol!!

Can you tell I was a tad excited ;-)

As most of you probably know by now... Stampavie is one of my favourite brands of stamps, team that with the stunning designs and quality of HOTP papers and embellishments and some new, absolutely beautiful goodies by The Paper Co and, well, It's heaven for me!

So, I will be back on Create & Craft this Saturday, 6th October at 10am and 7pm

I know, it's a long gap between shows, but I didn't hesitate... 

I absolutely love the products so it's my pleasure! lol

One show will be a Stampavie show and the other will be a HOTP show, but (you know me well enough) they work absolutely perfectly with each other so I have used HOTP with Stampavie with some stunning results!

I hope you can watch!

Happy Crafting!

September Craftathon Projects

Good Evening Everyone

Well, the weather is definitely turning colder... I don't think our heating has been off since we got back from our holiday! BUT, the plus side for us crafters is it is a good excuse to stay indoors where it's warm and craft! and that's exactly what we did at our September Craftathon today! :-)

I want to just say a special thankyou to Lorraine, Claire, Becky, Kath and Sharon who have come from all over the country to spend the day with us today....

It was lovely to meet you all and I hope you enjoyed your day... I know I did! :-)

Anyhoo, I thought I'd pop the projects we did today onto the blog, it was a bit of a Stampavie fest, but who can resist these stunning stamps (One of my weaknesses!) 

I hope you like what we did today :-)

Happy Crafting!

Spellbinders POD Show Demo Cards

Good Morning Everyone

Firstly, a huge thankyou to everyone who bought the Spellbinders pod on Tuesday, what a massive success it was and I'm so glad you loved the dies as much as I do :-)

You'll have hours of crafty time creating with those dies!

I had a ball with Dean and Leonie... always a laugh to be found when we are on together so I hope you enjoyed the shows too!

Anyhoo, as promised, here are some photos of some of the cards I made on air, hopefully they will give you some inspiration. You'll have more time than I did on air to play around with the dies, but I hope these quick cards give you a few ideas on what you can achieve with very little effort!

Thanks so much for watching and for your emails, did you see how many there were!!

Enough rattling, here's a few photos of the cards I made :-)

Happy Crafting!

Spellbinders POD World Launch Show Times...

Good Evening Everyone

I've just finished all my prep for my demos of the fabulous Spellbinders Pick of the Day shows that launch on Tuesday (tomorrow!) night at 9pm on Ideal World...

I can honestly say... out of the 21 dies there will be, I can't imagine not using any of them!

That means, as a crafter myself, that it's a great buy.... none will just sit in a folder!

I'm quite excited about this pod, not only is it a world launch, but it means I've had chance to play with them before anyone else :-) I hope you like what I do with them and my demos give you some ideas for yourself...

I have purposefully planned my demos in my own style, I'm not one for copying other peoples way of doing this so fingers crossed... you will be able to see the practicalities of my finished demos and where you can use the ideas in your own crafty lives :-)

OK, here goes.... there are 10 live hours over the two days and both Ideal World and Create and Craft so the easiest way for me to tell you is as follows... (I hope!)

Tuesday

9pm (Launch) on Ideal World

11pm on Ideal World

Wednesday

8am on Ideal World

10am on Ideal World

12noon on Create & Craft

1pm on Ideal World

3pm on Create & Craft

4pm on Ideal World 

5pm on Create & Craft

7pm (Last Chance) on Ideal World

See you at 9pm tomorrow night!

Happy Crafting!

Create & Craft/Ideal World Shows

Good Evening Everyone

Just a very quick post to let you know that I'm back from my hols (obviously lol) and I'm back on your Create and Craft (and Ideal World) screens next week...

With something absolutely incredible!

I'm doing a Spellbinders WORLD LAUNCH Pick of the day next Tuesday night and all throughout the day next Wednesday!

This is something very, very exciting.... I can't tell you too much, but these new dies are a world launch, not even in the states yet!

I will post the full list of show times tomorrow, but as usual the pick of the day launches on Ideal World at 9pm next Tuesday night (25th September) ....

If you love your Spellbinders, you are so going to love these new dies and the price!!!

Great British Craft Festival.....

Good Evening Everyone!

My my, I have neglected my blog over the last few weeks! But I have been sooooo busy so I hope you'll forgive me..

I'm just writing this post, whilst I'm sat with a cuppa, to just let you all know that I will be at the Great British Craft Festival at Donington Park for the whole 3 days! 

We kick off next Friday with an action packed day of workshops with myself, Anne-Marie, Debbi Moore and who knows who else will be there ;-)

Then, on Saturday and Sunday, I will be shopping (well, I WILL find some time to shop, before the doors open lol) Seriously though, I will be hosting Make and Take Sessions where you will get half an hour or so with lil ole me to make something fab that you can take with you :-)

It's going to sooooo much fun, I can't wait!

So, if you haven't got your tickets yet, head over to http://www.greatbritishcraft.co.uk/ and get yours whilst there's still time :-)

This will be the best Craft Show, ever!

See you next weekend!!

Happy Crafting!
