{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

{Long time no blog...More Christmas inspiration}

Mahoosive apologies for not blogging lately!
I've been busy with back to school days and getting back into routine.  I'm afraid that hasn't included blogging and social media routine.

There have been a few bits of news since I last blogged, the Autumn/Winter catalogue is now live and we're starting say the C word a bit more as we're thinking of cards and decor for the upcoming season.  I've been planning a fabulous project using Project Life not just to create a memory album, but an advent hanging that you could put small gifts in, and some cards using the new PL cards. Watch this space!  However in the mean time, here is a video of some cards I have made using the PL cards...super duper easy!
