The BIG Apple..

The BIG Apple..

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just watching Deb Wheeler on Create & Craft. Great to see her informative demos, and fun to see her with our mate Dean! I decided to look back at a NEW YORK blog or 2, to remember the BIG APPLE, and its draw. It certainly is like a magnet for many, including myself. And certainly our Grace. She’s home here in England at the moment, but she do love the New New Amsterdam. Has…

Sunday – and a little Therapy.

Sunday – and a little Therapy.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Was tidying away all the prep boxes from Friday’s TV show earlier, and came across the Dandelion card I had cut out, that was on offer in the Super Saver. CLICK HERE I LOVE this design. Many of you may already have it because it was a previous Fresh Cut Die Club Die. A really, really superb one, illustrated by our friend Mel Turner. Anyway, I went off at a tangent, and decided to…

A Half & Half Card…

A Half & Half Card…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Decided to make a card, using one of our best Fresh Cut dies – The Floral Flourish. It’s a large die, but a super delicate design. There’s another one, the Floral Forest, which is also fabulous. Here’s a step by step, which I’ve decided to name a Half & Half card. You’ll soon see why… This is a 7” x 7” Kraft cardblank. Cut a piece of Companion paper 6.5” square, and attach it…

A Sunday Step by Step…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Despite the best intentions to blog daily – or at least more regularly – Life is overwhelming, and the days just seems to fly by. Everybody has got something going on, everybody is carrying a load, I know that. This is why I choose to use the blog and the SHAC for positive and creative distraction, rather than a platform to unload my personal problems. Suffice it to say I, like you, have them,…

Room with a View – Special Bloggy Offer.

Hi there Thanks for popping in. When I opened the bedroom curtains early this morning, the sky was a beautiful pinky grey. Glorious. A room with a View. We actually have a wonderful collection of Room with a View dies, illustrated for us by our talented friend, Mel Turner. I love her work, and I particularly love this set. It reminds me of sitting on the bus from here to Brighton, and looking out over the South Downs from the…

Never say never.

Never say never.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Have you ever looked at a craft project and said, “I’d NEVER be able to do that?”. I bet we all have. The thing is, you’re probably right. Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, either way you’re probably right. You’ll probably NEVER even try, because you’ve already decided you’ll NEVER be able to succeed. So if you have already failed before you’ve even given it a go, then chances are…
