Bring on the Glitz with Blitz!

Bring on the Glitz with Blitz!

Hi there. Haven’t played with a die for a while. Found this trap-the-scrap piece from one of our Fresh Cut Funky Foliage Leave & Trees Dies, and decided to turn it into a card for someone special. She likes a little bling, so here goes…. Trap the white card scrap from the die on a double-sided adhesive sheet. Then simply cover it in Gilding flakes. We sell lots of different colours – really nice! Use the yellow sponge to buff…

Who’d have believed it!

Who’d have believed it!

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Ventured into Lidl’s on the way home from the office. Put my mask on and went a-shopping for my parents. It’s the first time I’ve been in an actual supermarket since March, unless the Marks n Sparks attached to the petrol station counts. It doesn’t. The wierdest thing is that I was really excited! Happy even. To be able to walk along an aisle in a shop and select what I wanted from the…

Literally. It’s amazing what you…

Water Colour Toadstools !

Water Colour Toadstools !

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie. So glad this morning’s water colour SHAC-Shack was well received! I think we’ll have a good week, developing those new ideas and perhaps trying them out on different subjects! I had a real hankering to colour in our toadstools from last week’s woods, but was way too busy with so much else all afternoon. I saw somebody else on facebook had done it too, beautifully, and wanted to try it even…

Updating sytem

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. My computer was in dire need of an update, and the Facebook Live recordings needed moving to an external hard drive, so Jim came over to the house after our doodle session this morning to sort it out. Who knew that we would all still be hanging out together every day at 10am, 16 weeks in and going stronger than ever! Anyway, I left him to it and went to pottery for a little…
