Hi there Thanks for popping in. And thanks for joining in yesterday evening if you did! I can only speak for myself, but after quite a strenuous week at work, I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with the Clarity gang, and putting those Lino Cut Stamps through their paces. Having played with all three of the Stampsets, I can’t say I have a favourite. All three are really REALLY useful, clever, and easy to make great art with. As I said…
Hi there Thanks for popping in! Had fun in the SHAC SHACK this morning, preparing our Christmas Crackers. Well, I did. Have fun, that is. Chuntering away to myself. In case you’re wondering what I am talking about, here’s the set of printed crackers that we have started decorating. So Güd! Available as a complete kit HERE I was showing off some pretty spectacular finished samples that Dee, Elaine and Jane had prepared for us. Let me show you… Thank…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Here’s a brand new journaling set by our Sam Crowe, that Leonie is showcasing on The Craftstore today (2nd show at 2pm) . I remember having a long Facetime chat to Sam about these a while ago. Mainly because I couldn’t get my head round the designs! But once she had explained it to me, I was 100% converted. The notelets and list stamps for example. She said, “aren’t you always writing notes on…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I noticed this morning that our Half Price Offer of the Week is one of my all time favourite frame sets – so lovely to use! And we’ve got these Entwined framers both as stamps AND as Groovi Plates – complete with a set of useful sentiments using my handwriting. I remember drawing these beauties to enhance the Floral Alphabet Set I had drawn before! Here’s a sample I did earlier, using the J…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. How are you? How am I? Or perhaps the question we should be asking is WHO are you? And WHO am I? I seem to wake up most mornings wondering what the hell is going on in England, in Europe, in the world. And I often catch myself wondering what I am supposed to be doing, and which role I should be playing in response to the world we live in now. Which brings…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s definitely colder today. Turned the heating up and dug out the sweater box. We’re in a rain, sun and wind loop. Autumn is here. Did you join in the SHAC yesterday – Thursday? We welcomed Autumn with one of our little poppet Marina Fedotova postcards and a very seasonal border doodle….Still to be completed when I get a mo. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I love her artwork. It is just a pleasure to…
Hi there Thanks for popping . There’s something very new and exciting on the horizon for all you lovely Parchers and Groovers! Josie has come up trumps once again. This time she has gone round ! Really clever! 4 fabulous circle grids – Josie is showcasing them herself on the Craftstore.com tomorrow at 6pm. In fact, we thought they were that good, we turned them into a ONE DAY SPECIAL! So that gives Josie 5 whole hours to show you…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Having a good day? Having a growing day? I don’t know whether you recall, but a few months ago, I spoke of a dear friend whose husband died suddenly, and without warning. Every day I think of that friend, and her ongoing nightmare rightsizes absolutely ANYTHING going on in my own life. In deference to that friend, I didn’t divulge her identity – because firstly, it’s not my story to tell, and secondly, she…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. We are having a fantastic sale for our American friends and customers…All of our Fresh Cut Dies and Designer Card on Amazon USA are a whopping 50% off! And in honour of this fab sale, I decided to make a little artsy short video using one of my favourite dies! Dave and I used this design on our wedding invitations actually…and folks liked it so much, we turned it into a die! Quite close…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I do hope you are bearing up okay ? Things are certainly being sent to challenge us, aren’t they. Trying to figure out the best way to get to work is the first thing on the list today. I was fortunate enough to fill up with diesel before it all kicked off at the pump, but the roads around the filling stations are rammed and blocked, with angry, frustrated drivers, so I shall opt…
