The final wrap

The final wrap

Hi there

Thanks for popping in. Starting tomorrow, we’ve got quite the TV bonanza on Create & Craft. Paul’s on first, at 1pm and 5pm, with the last in the It’s a Wrap series of fabulous Groovi plates, designed by Linda Williams.

Bells and Hearts this time. It is certainly perfect timing for the Wedding season! We are also looking forward to a big family wedding in September. Our son Mark and his lovely fiancée Alex are tying the knot – in California! So it’s an expedition to Lake Tahoe for us too! Happy days. We couldn’t be more delighted that these two are together. They really do make a wonderful couple. Here’s a lovely pic of them at our wedding, back in 2018. Where does the time go?

Anyway. Back to business…

Dave die-cuts all the fitted cards on our vintage Heidelberg windmill press. It’s quite something to see in action! And the Heidelberg! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

How about some inspiration from Linda and the team? Ding Dong!!

So much more beautiful artwork to show you tomorrow on TV. Let Paul take you through tricks and tips on how to get the most out of these superb plates.

I’ll be joining him up at the studio first thing Friday morning too, so it’s all go, go, go. We’ve got a great mixed media /stampy morning lined up for you, then something VERY special later on in the afternoon. I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow.

Out #madeinmay is going strong. So much lovely artwork being exhibited all over our Facebook pages! So many arty, talented people! It’s really like a fabulous, creative, virtual gallery! #makesmehappy!

Love always,

  1. Lovely samples from the Design Team again & I agree #madeinmay has produced an array of different crafts from everyone. Looking forward to all the TV shows – C&C are gradually updating the website from ‘to be confirmed’ to actually showing when the shows are on although not all the contents yet !!

  2. Young Love ❤️- how lovely to have a special event to look forward to!

    You Groovers are so clever patient talented crafters- love the samples!

    Looking forward to some Clarity TV. ♥️

  3. They do make a lovely couple. Great photo.
    Stunning artwork from the design team, I love the bells, they work for Christmas too. Also have the hearts 💕 but only made one so far.
    Good to see C&C are updating their site as it is frustrating when we need to record several days ahead but all that comes up is “join us for an hour” and no guarantee it will automatically switch to the correct craft program.
    Moan over!!!!
    Rained cats and dogs all morning and drizzled the rest of the day. However we got good news this afternoon – hospital confirmed Ray’s biopsy was negative or cancer. We are so relieved.
    Travel safely tomorrow.

  5. How wonderful you have a wedding to look forward to. Not into groovi but I do like to see the samples. Will try and watch on Friday….
    Safe travels to and from tv land. 🚗

  6. Lovely photo of Mark and Alex. Beautiful art from your wonderful design team. Recorder set for tomorrows shows. Safe travels to the studio. xx

  7. Hello Barb, what could be more wonderful to look forward to than the family Wedding. Mark and Alex are a really beautiful couple. Love the samples from the Design Team, made with these beautiful Groovi plates, such a talented group. I am intrigued now about Friday. Take care everyone. Bx

  8. Great timing. I have a bell card to make for my sister to give to her friend, who is getting married in August. Be good to get some ideas, but it’ll have to be on catch up (recorded) for me.
    The theme is navy and white!
    Nice to have a family wedding to look forward to, such a long way to travel. Enjoy!

  9. In my opinion parchment crafted wedding cards, as skillfully made as the examples shown, perfectly defines romance and the big day.
    The examples are beautiful as is the photo of your Mark and Alex. The family must be getting very excited: September’s not that far off.
    Looking forward to all the C&C shows later and seeing more madeinmay contributions: such a brilliant idea.
    Oh! and yes please more photos of Dave in action.

  10. Nothing like a family wedding to look forward to, hope you’re packing a big supply of tissues. I could never understand why the mothers of the bride and groom nearly always cried until it happened to me. That’s a lovely photo of Mark and Alex but can’t believe it’s 6 years ago, as you say where does the time go. Really enjoy seeing all the different madeinmay posts and looking forward to the tv shows.

  11. Thanks for sharing the photograph of Mark and Alex again. They are a beautiful couple. The artwork designed by Linda and showcased by the DT is stunning.

  12. Lovely photo of Mark and Alex. Won’t be long before September is here.
    Do wish I had the skills of the Design as they do some beautiful work. I have tried though.
    I look forward to the shows on TV.
    Take care.
