New catalogue launches tomorrow!

Yay! Just one more sleep. The new catty launches tomorrow and I can't wait to put my order in. Meanwhile I've got a bunch of my recent hostesses coming over tonight and another bunch tomorrow, so that we can play with my pre-order goodies. This is the card that I sent...

Sneak peek no. 3 – faux glass butterfly

Sneak peek no. 3 – faux glass butterfly

My sneak peek for you today is another of the new In Colours ... and a new punch! I've combined them with a retiring product, Thick Window Sheet, to produce a faux glass butterfly card. You can do this technique with the Medium Window Sheet (which is staying) but the...

Sneak peek no. 2 – another anniversary card

Sneak peek no. 2 – another anniversary card

How proud am I of my hubby? So proud! I left him to work in my craft room while I went to the dentist yesterday and when I got back he'd made this anniversary card for me (yes - I'm not the only one in the house that does things last minute, lol). I think it's simply...

An Autumnal Anniversary Card

An Autumnal Anniversary Card

Today is MIL and FIL's wedding anniversary and so of course - a card to celebrate. As you may know, my MIL doesn't really like overly sentimental cards and so I wanted to keep a light feel while still acknowledging the date. The owls seemed perfect for the job and as...

Bright and sunny simply said

Bright and sunny simply said

Another retiring stamp set featured again today for you. And I think all the dull grey weather was making me crave something bright and sunny in my life. The weather is a little better here today but I'm still glad I went for these colours. Some more items have now...

Fresh Cuts – not just for Christmas!

Fresh Cuts – not just for Christmas!

I've been having a major problem with spam today, something like 500 spam comments (all from betting and bingo sites - which I never use) over the space of 24hrs. So apologies, but I've had to switch a verification programme on to combat the spammers. Please stick...
