I can't quite believe it...

I made front page on the Creativity Newsletter! How good is that?

I used the Quilling Dies that came out a few months ago, and these are the projects that I made..

This is a little box that I covered and used the flowers to decorate. Instructions for it are here.

 

I love this card. Perfect for Valentines day I thought. The project instructions are here.

And a Thank You card. Instructions are here.


I hope you like these projects - I do, which is why I thought I'd share!

Happy New Year to you too. We are just having a quiet one here - we usually do. But whatever you're doing, have a good one and stay safe.

What a weekend..

Yep. It was really busy.

My demo on Saturday was changed to Sunday because the store had double booked, but just as I was starting to think of all the nice things I could do on my day off, I got a call to ask if I could cover a demo up in County Durham.. well, I could have said no, but as I love my job I said yes. So. A very long drive upto County Durham I had. I even took my camera but there wasn't anything to photograph on the way which in itself was quite funny.

I had a really lovely day with the staff and customers. They were all so very lovely. And I promise that the tutorials will be coming this week!

Sunday was my rearranged demo, but suprisingly it was quite busy all day. Thank you to those ladies that took the time to come back again to see me. You're all truly special people and it was lovely to see you all!

Monday was just a nice relaxing day - and was my Sister in Law's birthday! But.. as I had been unexpectedly busy at the weekend, forgot to post the card. So I promise it'll be in the post today with your present. And I am sure you're going to love it, Tilly!

Carley was also back home yesterday, she's having a week off work getting ready or a few days away with her fella. She flew out this morning from East Midlands and I'm sure that she's going to have a lovely time. But I sure will miss her even if it is only for 3 days I'm not going to see her! I spent the day making Hallowe'en invitations for an order I had. I will show you some samples tomorrow.

For today, I'm at home again just finishing off some samples for the weekend. I'm over in Brigg on Saturday, and a repeat demo in Derby on Sunday.. so another busy weekend.

The card I have to show you today is one that I made for the Docrafts website quite a while ago. I was sent on some quilling sets, and this is one of them..

I was completely flummoxed as to what to do with it so racked my little brain, and this is what I came up with.. and I love it!

I have made a few more projects for the site too, including a flowery hat, and I have more to do as soon as I can.

Quilling is one of the things that I love doing. I can't sit and do decoupage in front of the TV, but quilling I can.. time consuming, but I enjoy it. In fact, I have just finished a luvverly collection of projects for the next Creativity magasine.. but obviously I can't share those at the minute. But as soon as I'm able, I will. They are a completely new item that I've used... and they're stunning!

Anyway.

Today, I will leave you with this little photo of my lovely Mr Scoobs.. isn't he just beautiful. I'm sure he's like a good whisky - improving with each year.

And finally, a funny little photo of him.. Honestly, he's so daft sometimes!

Carley was at an Evening wedding reception the other day, and the bride works at Specsavers.. so everyone was given a pair of glasses.. and these were hers.

Right. That's me off for now.. Happy Crafting everyone!

A little bit of Creativity...

 Morning campers..

After a very busy day yesterday at my demo, I spent the evening chilling in front of the fan. Boy was it hot!! Thankfully, Sharon, assistant on the craft department was there with fan in hand to cool us all down. Thanks love.. you're a treasure!!

I just wanted to show you these projects that were in the Creativity magasine this last month. They're quilling, and quite simple to make - full details are in the mag.. so why not give it a go?

This one below shows all the projects that were in there. The picture frame took a little more time than the others, but I think it was worth  it.

I've got a few more things to show you tomorrow, so why not check back.

see you soon xx

Blog hop..

Hi everyone..

Did you visit Jamie Dodger's blog?If so, you've probably come here for the blog hop, so here are a couple of projects I've made ready for you.

The first thing I want to show you is a little bag I've made. I've combined the new absolutely wonderful Cottage Wall papers with the newish birdy punch to create some little tulips. The bag holds a few little note cards, but I'll show you those another day.

My second project is this card.

I did a bit of quilling a few weeks ago, and actually got quite hooked. So all I've done on this card is make some little teardrops from cottage wall papers and certainly celery card, which I cut into 5mm strips, and quilled them to create little butterflies. I used other colour card for the flowers.

As you can see, this photo didn't come out too well, but at least you can see the details a little bit better. I am loving creating ruffles with my eyelet border. I hope you like it to.

So, where do you need to go next? Well, you are heading over to Carol's blog.. so just click here to get there.

There are three loops to the blog hop.. so when you've left mine and returned to mine, then you're at the end.. so nip back over to these links too to take a look around theirs.

Loop One - start at Debbi's blog
