Well worth the wait.

Gayles has exceeded herself with some really lovely stamps and loads of great examples. See for yourselves how versatile these lovely new stamps are.

Gayles first set is Flowers & Fauna.





In this next card, Gayle has used the leaves to make the wings of the butterfly. The body is made from rolled paper.








In this last card Gayle has used a long petal for the body, the leaves for the wings and some of the lovely flowers.



Gayles second set is The Fashion House. You can see some examples using these stamps HERE but more will be available soon.

Launch Day

Gayle Bonds first two sets of stamps go on sale tonight, after her evening launch class. Time permitting I will put pictures on the blog this evening showing Gayles examples. Don't miss them

Work in progress....

And I am so loving doing this. After a hectic day and especially when it's so hot, I like to go home, have a cold shower, make a huge glass of orange squash and sit at my dining room table and "play". Most of the time I am preparing classes but on this occasion I am creating for myself.

I can sit here for hours at a time oblivious to everything around me as I engross myself in my work so here is a tiny peek at my project. If you want to see it finished you'll have to come to Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre on 6th/7th or 8th July and visit our stand. There will be loads of things to see and even a few make and takes to have a go at.





Hope to see you there.....

Letter To A Friend

This was a project I found a long time ago, originally designed by Judi Watanabe, and I fell in love with it. So a few weeks ago I taught it to a group of lovely ladies. As I didn't give any clues in the description, I think everyone was pleasantly surprised at the project. Here are two examples I made.





And when you open it, there is a compartment for all those goodies you want to hide.



Here is the smaller version.





Loads more projects coming up on the Blog so keep checking back:)

Deco Pages can be scary

I have waited a while for my Deco page from Karen and when she gave it to me I was really pleased because it was a good idea for my theme, but there were 2 things that worried me. Firstly, and I know she did it for a joke, Karen used a Magnolia stamp for the girl on the swing and I am not a fan as she well knows.



However, the second thing is much more sinister...........What is lurking in the tree????



I've put the page away in my Deco Page book now but I have to go and look every so often to see if the "thing" hiding in the tree, is still there :)

And all that aside. here is another lovely Deco page by Maisie (her first one) for Suecanncrafts theme - Poetry. The poem is The Smugglers.



Nice one maisie and welcome to the swap.

Quiz Night Friday 3rd July 2009

As most of you know, Terry, our partner in crime, raises a lot of money each year for different charities however, the one most close to his heart is the National Deaf Children Society.

To raise money this year Terry is treking the Himalayas in Nepal in October and to help him reach his target we are holding a Quiz Night. We need 6 people per table with a maximum of 14 tables for the event.

If you can get a table together and want a fun evening out, please ring 01634 366355 during business hours to book a place or table. You will need to bring your own nibbles but there will be a bar for drinks and a raffle.

If you can't come along but would like to help out, you could donate a raffle prize or visit Terrys "Just Giving" site which can be found HERE.

Crop Class June 2009

Only a small class but a good one I hope. This time we made a frame and scrapbook page. I really enjoyed making this one. Hope you like it.
