{Paper Flower Christmas Wreath}

More paper flowers! I guess it's my "thing" I love making them.  

Here is a video giving you some inspiration to make your own... it also features my daughter as she wanted to be in on the action too!

Some of the dies used are not available any more, sorry about that... however they may be found via auction sites or with a bit of tinkering you can use what you have already.

So, this is my first foray into the world of Planners.  I've purchased this A5 Filofax to start using as a diary and planner for my day to day life and business.

I chose this gorgeous red one, I wanted a bright colour as I thought it would be harder to loose!

The Filofax already contained numbered divider cards, however I needed to make some monthly index cards, so I've done this in Artful Stampin style!

{Swap making - flowers and polkas}

Been trying to make a start ton some swaps for a Stampin' Up! event coming up in November.

I am totally in love with this colour combo and the Flourish Thinlets Die.  The die brush makes it so easy to extract the delicate die cuts from the metal dies.  Saves all the faffing I used to do with wax paper!

Here are some pics, and below is a video of me making a few.

{Day Craft Retreat and some big news!}

Hi all,

This time last Saturday we were nearing the end of a day Craft Retreat fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator  Julie Forbes and I had organised.  We had 26 crafty ladies working busily of some fab projects, and getting a head start on Christmas ideas.

Here is a picture of us all together, and some of the beautiful paper flower wreaths they made...

Now for the big news!  Lots of mine and Julie's customers have been asking ask to organise an overnight retreat.  So we're testing the waters with a 2 day 1 night event in November 2017, the 17th and 18th of November to be exact.  It will be happening in beautiful mid Wales and will be a haven for crafters and a relaxing couple of days from the hussle and bussle of life!

Save the date and watch this space for more information!

Here is a video of some of the swaps the ladies made
