Challenge Saturday!

Yup its saturday and that means another challenge on the shop blog! This week it was Karens turn and she challenges us to do some colouring in on our creations!! Don't know about you but I just love colouring in! Very therapeutic!!!



This is my effort for the challenge! I used Mindy's Flowers stamps and the Doodlebug Memories stamps and coloured them using watercolour pencils! Added a Roxy ribbon some black brads and voila!!!

Have had a very rubbish day today :-( So I am now off to console myself with an evening of scrapping! For as they say... when the going gets tough, the tough get scrapping!!!!

Cover Girl!

Well its probably the only time I'll be on the cover of a glossy anyway!!! My card made the cover of this months Quick & Crafty magazine so I am one happy lady!

I used the gorgeous range of Christmas papers from American crafts for these cards and loved every minute of working with them!

Today has been spent finishing off another article for the magazine and finalising the new kits for the shop. I'm really pleased with these kits.... they are going to be really special! Following requests from many customers we are now doing 2 sizes of kits... they will cost £24.99 and then a smaller kit that will cost £14.99. This should cater for all budgets! The kits will go on sale next week so keep an eye out for them!

Right I'm off to finish my circle journal mountain!!!!

In the pink!!!

Today it was Samm's turn to set the challenge on the shop blog and she challenged us to create using one colour only! This wasn't as easy as I though it was going to be as I discovered that I am a bit of a contrasting colours girl!!!! When I look back at all my work it is crammed with colour...and lots of them!

So I opted for shades of pink (no surprise there!!) and scrapped another of the fabby pics by Anita! Ok I know that there is a red heart in there....but you have no idea how hard it was not to add some turquoise into the mix!!!

This morning I am nursing a bit of a hangover following a fab night out... so this morning I am pottering and catching up on some much needed housework! I have a couple of CJs to finish and get in the post and then a lazy afternoon is planned!

Have a great sunday all!
