Country Livin'

Hello bloggists, and welcome to my blog.

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to get round to playing with the Country Livin’ stamps.  I’m so happy that this set isn’t retiring so will be around until June 2018 at least and that I’ll be able to use them in my demos for a while longer.  The images are handy to use on items for men or boys but could work equally well for more feminine greetings, depending on how you embellish it.

I'm also happy that the Hardwood stamp is going to be carrying over as well.  I love this stamp for backgrounds.

This was a nice, simple card to make.  Here's how I did it- 

Thanks for visiting - hope I'll see you again soon!

Hello Bloggists, and welcome!

Well, I survived my first live-streamed virtual workshop.  I was SOOOO nervous all day before it - I felt as if I were about to have an interview for a new job.  I was afraid that nobody would turn up, or that they wouldn't like the projects or join in the chat....in the end, it all went OK apart from when I got over-excited and knocked the tripod over.  I couldn't even blame the cat, she was nowhere near at the time.  If you joined me for the event, thank you so much, I really, really appreciated your support.

Anyway, I will be scheduling the next one in time for the catalogue launch at the start of June.  Are you excited yet?  There's some gorgeous stuff coming up!

However, we still have a couple of weeks left to play with the current catalogues and this is what I've been making -

I've been making paracord bracelets which fit nicely into this little box.   Of course there's a tutorial - 

Hope you enjoy.

See you soon,

Hello Bloggists - welcome to my blog.

It's another use-it-up project today, with Lost Lagoon ink and card leaving at the end of the mother, along with the World Traveller stamps, the striped cotton ribbon, the very vintage buttons and the antique brads...the Hardwood stamp is staying though (whew!) And if you look carefully there's a sneaky peek at something that's coming soon in the new catalogue.  Can you spot it?  

Check out the video...

That's it for today - see you soon!

For Mother

Hello bloggists, thank you so much for visiting.
I made this card-in-a-box for my mother-in-law's birthday, which is in the summer - but I'm aware that, while Mothering Sunday has been and gone in the UK, Mother's Day is coming up in other parts of the world, so I'm sharing this now.

I co-ordinated the flowers with the colours in the Birthday Blooms DSP - they are so pretty (well, I think so!)  I'm not normally a pretty-pretty sort of crafter but I just can't resist using these colours, they look so good!

Here's how I made the card -

Hope you like it!

See you soon,

Creepy Coffin Box

Hi everyone!  I am simul-blogging again today with my evil twin from Altered Ego.  This is a variation of the stay-closed box - here's the diagram

Here's the tutorial - with personal appearance from Mysti the cat at the end!
