Hi there Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny day here in the southeast today. Almost T-shirt and shorts weather! Not that you’d ever catch me in shorts!! I look down at the legs that walk me around nowadays, and wonder who’s got mine!! That wicked witch certainly did a number on me when she swopped my legs for this pair! Had a laugh with Grace this evening. Conversation went like this… Grace “How’s Dave?“ Me “He’s ok. Went to the…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Apologies for being bloggy AWOL – been hopping about at the Spa Retreat! Before I tell you about it, let me shine a light on this weeks Design of the Week – inspired by designs from Tina Cox – Fresh Cut Floral Frames Available HERE These are great for quick and easy cards, just add designer paper, parchment, petite card toppers or keep it simple and use our companion papers. Here is some inspiration…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Can you believe it is Tuesday already? This week is flying by! Time to shine a light on yet another Design of the Week… Today we are looking at not one but two very traditional crafts: Parchment Craft and Embroidery. Here we see how they have been combined to make one rather special artform. Combine embroidery with parchment, then add some fantastic designs from Tina Cox – and we have something sublime. We have…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. How’s your weekend been? Dave took me on a date on Friday afternoon. Had no idea where we were going! He decided to get us out of the work spin we had got caught up in since our return to the UK, and a mystery tour certainly did the trick! We ended up in a little village called Ditchling in East Sussex, so not a million miles away from us either. There’s a fascinating…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Thanks also for watching all the shows this past weekend if you did! And thanks too for tuning into the SHAC after our month’s break on Monday morning at 10am. Just in case you were looking for a few tips on how to use our Embedders, then that particular SHAC session may be perfect for you. About 19 minutes in… Hope that helped. The Embedders really are such a simple idea, but they make…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Spent a day with Mum today, which was just great, before wending my way up to join Paul at the TV studios this evening. (4pm and 8pm today, and 8am tomorrow morning.) Call it over cautious, call it paranoia, but if I’ve got a LIVE TV show at 9am tomorrow morning, and have to be at the Studios by 6am to set up, you can bet your bottom dollar that I’m travelling up the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. No no, I am not off on my travels again…I’m still enjoying back home too much! Paul is though! Well, let me qualify that; he’s actually on TV. No, no. Not in Tuscany! Tomorrow afternoon at 4pm on Create & Craft, we‘re releasing the fourth set of the Linda Williams’ Layering Frames Collection – and this time we are off to Tuscany. There. Got there in the end! These are pretty special. I LOVE…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Time to shine a light on another design of the week and offer it to you with 30% off (plus club discount). This week I thought we could take a walk in the countryside with Linda Williams. Magnificent country scenes, both as Groovi plates and printed in delicate black lineart on parchment. We launched these designs at our annual parchment retreat in October last year. Talking of which, we have had a few last…
