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!!!!

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!

Supplies: PP MME Bohemia Bliss, Maya Road chipboard swirls, heidi swap blossom, thickers chip alpha, heidi swap ghost heart, MM tag, oh and I played the bazzill in stitchez for the sewing along the bottom! These templates are so easy to use and give great results! The swirl along the top is made from elastic bands stapled onto the lo! Photos by Anita Mundt :)
The ones I used for the latest shop blog challenge are from the Bohemia Bliss range and are sooo easy to work with! The other range? Ah well that would be telling!! You'll have to keep popping back for some more sneaky peeks!
Have had a busy old week and am now enjoying a weekend off with only housework :( and scrapping :) to keep me occupied! Oh and a couple of nights out thrown in to liven things up!
Right off to scrap!

This is a photo from last year when he taking part in the Remembrance Sunday march. Doesn't he look fab in his RAF cadets uniform?!!!! No doubt he'll kill me for posting this pic...but isn't that what Aunties are for?!
This morning there is another challenge up on the shop blog! This time it's Theresa's turn and she has challenged us all to doodle!
This is my effort! Another of the fab pics taken by Anita Mundt! Love how she brought the colour out in my shoes!!! I used a doodling template for the swirly bits! I've used a mixture of supplies from our kits and the shop.
Today I have my friend Gillian coming over for Sunday lunch so need to have a tidy before she arrives! Then off to visit the birthday boy!
Have a great sunday everyone

I love this photo of me taken by Anita!! I am well known for my fits of the giggles and she caught me in giggling action! I used some of the Princess papers, angel kiss, Queen & Co felt, some ribbon from the scrapbook shop, for the record journaling stamp and some other bits and pieces from my stash mountain!!!!
Saturday afternoon was our local crop at Morpeth! As usual the class kit went down a treat (chalk garden.....scrummy!!!) If you're from up here....why not join us? We meet the second saturday in each month...email me for more info!
On the way home from the crop I saw the most amazing sunset.....it was one of those that literally take your breath away. And I actually had my camera with me! So I pulled over, wound down the window and started snapping!
Sooo pleased it didn't miss this amazing sight!
Then it was home to announce the winner of the first challenge :) Congratulations Anita!!!!
A quick shower and off for a well deserved night out with Kim!
Sunday it was Vanessa's turn for the challenge and pockets was the order of the day! Vanessa's example is stunning (nearly stole it at the crop!!!) and we're really looking forward to seeing what you all create!
I made a card for this challenge using our Mellow kit!
Sunday was a long awaited day off....and boy did I need it! Did absolutely nothing and thoroughly enjoyed it! We had another winner to announce on Sunday evening..... Tracie was the lucky winner! Congratulations!!!!
Yesterday I took delivery of 4 boxes of delicious new goodies for the shop! Have managed to get them uploaded so you can go have a peek here! I can't wait to start playing with them and making some samples for the gallery!
