Hi there, Thanks for popping in. I’m watching our Paul on telly whilst writing the blog here. He’s doing a cracking job. Do join him on HOCHANDA while he showcases Tina’s layering stamps. Great price. What glorious sunny weather we have had down here in Kent today! Dave has gone off for a cruise on his Harley before it gets dark, and I am playing catch up, having been out all day. Can I share my day with you? I…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Loved watching Leonie work her magic with these wonderful new round and open stencils. That’s why they‘re called CIRCUS, you know. Circus is Latin for ring, circle. And when you look at these fantastical ring stencils, the words Happy and Circus certainly spring to mind – without acrobats and clowns! Then there were those cheeky stamps! How cool they are! So very Leonie! Very popular too….. Now those Grey board sets are pretty special,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got in from TV, and want to chat to you before I call it a day. Thank you so much to Tina, for making our doodle day on Hochanda such a resounding success. The artwork she created for the occasion is absolutely beautiful. Cast your eye over these beauties… Just makes me want to get my pens out and go again. She is so right. Doodling is so very therapeutic and relaxing. It…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just thought I’d pop in and let you know what’s coming up tomorrow, before I move on to the next job. Tina and I are meeting at HOCHANDA to have a doodle day – well 2 hours at least. Remember a little while ago, she and I got hooked on looking for art within the designer papers and parchment? Well, she and I put our heads together and decided to do a little doodle…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie today, to introduce a really neat little folding trick by Paul. It is very cool, and I LOVE this leafy Swirl Die. There’s a sweet 20% discount on this little die, so do dive in if you like it! The Club envelopes have all gone out, so keep your eyes peeled for the postman! Sorry it’s later than usual – the NEC slowed us down. But…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Busy busy Monday ahead! Oh boy! Is it me? Or is the world spinning off its axis ? I know it’s gone mad, I know we’re living in a mental world, and I appreciate that we’re all doomed. But this breakneck speed is making me dizzy! So let’s just change down a gear, take our foot off the pedal – and make a pretty card. At least while we’re doing that, we can’t break…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. And thank you to all of you who joined in with the Guess-the-Arty-process-Competition. Did anybody get it exactly right? Afraid not. But a couple of you came very, very close… Here’s how: Now there were two of you who almost nailed it, so I would like to send each of you a £25 Gift Voucher each. Split it down the middle. And those two clever ladies are …drumroll….. Ann Hooper and Dawn Rogers. Well…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Just got in from a lovely birthday lunch over at Reads in Faversham. Excellent food. Turning 60 at the NEC was fun, but I really wanted to celebrate with the family – especially my parents! Without them I wouldn’t be here! So when they booked a table at Reads, I didn’t have to be asked twice! Every time I have a birthday, which is always once a year, Mum sings to me and then…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got off the phone from lovely Maria. She’s all set to launch our Mini Groovi Starter Kit. “Just a little lippy – and I’m good to go!” she chirped down the phone. She’s well excited about the smaller Starter Kit. Like she says, it’s a really lovely gift size, and at the One Day Special price, it’s also very affordable for somebody wanting to get going with Groovi. We launched the smaller version…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I have had a play this evening, and I thought perhaps you might enjoy a little challenge…. Below we have two cards, made with that oh so lovely Leafy Swirl aperture die of ours: If I were to tell you that both of these cards were made together, from the same cut, could you figure it out? Could you work out how I made a dark glittery one and a glossy white one from…
