It's May!

Can you believe how quickly the year is passing. It's unbelievable - items on the retiring list are selling fast and there's a new catalogue just around the corner.

It only seems like yesterday we got the last catalogue and there are so many lovely things in the current catalogue that are retiring but I have seen the new one and... WOW.

Today I'm showing just a couple of the projects we'll be making in our May classes just £10.95, this stamp set is staying with us and I'm so glad as there is so much I still have to do with it!

The set is called Kinda Eclectic and I was DYING to make these super little bookmarks, finished off with a tassel made using the Gold Bakers Twine

This card posed a dilemma - sun? Or no sun? What do you think?

I think both versions are stunning so I'll let the ladies in my class decide.

Today I'm planning on stepping out of my comfort zone - I was so inspired by the new catalogue and some of our existing kits... I'll be back soon to share... as it's a Bank Holiday here on Monday it's almost guaranteed to rain this weekend so I'll be crafting.

I would love to hear how you spend the weekend so please leave a comment - or share your projects on my Facebook page!

Nearly Here!

I'm so excited that it's nearly Christmas! Where has the year gone? The great news is that for the first time I have truly preserved some memories using the Project Life products... rather than just downloading all the pictures to the PC never to be seen again!

I've been finishing up some little bits and pieces... including all the wrapping! Goodness it gives me backache!

I made a little keepsake box for each and every lady I work with - 20 in total. I LOVE the Curvy Keepsake Die!

I'm afraid the pics aren't great as I was in a bit of a rush! I cut out the Curvy Keepsake boxes and I stamped the Very Vanilla card stock in gold with the I Love Lace background stamp.

I cut out the corresponding tags and heat embossed them in gold too with the Bright & Beautiful small star.

I popped a little scented tealight in each one, decorated with gold Washi Tape and then closed them up and tied on the tags with a little Gold Bakers Twine.

I think they're really cute and hope everyone will like them. The men are each getting one of the Traveler desk calendars I posted a short while back.

I am placing a final order on the 16th of December which may arrive for Christmas! So if there's anything you would like to add - please send it to me tomorrow.

Happy - Sneak Peeks

Today I'm using colours I don't often use - thanks to the inspiration of some new Designer Series Paper - Watercolour Wonder. It is in the new seasonal catalogue - out on the 28th... and is probably my most favourite DSP ever!

I used it here as the mat on my card.

I then punched the tag with the new Scallop Tag punch, added a little of the new Gold Bakers Twine, decorated the tag with Flower Shop, adding a flower to each from Petite Petals, punched using the matching punch with 2 pearls added to the centres. Finally the sentiment is from the new Happy Watercolour set.

Such a beautiful spring like card - roll on summer!

Pop back soon!
