Butterflies

Hello my lovely readers! 
I have some news, My Mum's Craft Shop have just found a new unit/premises yay! So if i am a bit absent from my blog and crafting for a bit you know why :) Exciting times ahead!
So on with my usual post for Little Miss Muffet. Today i used one of the gorgeous Swings N Slides images, i just love these they are so cute and so nice to colour....
This is Swings N Slides Butterfly.. one of my favourite images at Little Miss Muffet. I coloured her with my Copics and the papers are one of the new Doodlebug Paper Pads, the names escapes me. I also added some twine, pearls and i punched some dinky butterflies.

A Jofy Card

Hello and welcome to my usual weekly post for My Mum's Craft Shop. We have had so many new products in lately (and more on the way) it's hard to choose what to use! I have had the new PaperArtsy Jofy Stamps sat on my desk for about a week waiting to be used and finally i thought yes now is the time!
OMG i knew i would love these stamps, i have so many more ideas for them too. This is the Jofy 09 Set. I love that they are simple and quirky and they don't need much else than a dash of colour to look fab.. i am thinking i might do a canvas with these next time. To create the background i just used some adirondack inks and a dreamweaver brush. I wanted it nice and pastel to make the flowers show up more. The sentiment also comes in this set which is all ez mounted already too!

I will be back tomorrow with my latest Docrafts creation!

Hello, i hope you all had a fabulous weekend, i have been busy crafting and sorting out my craft room/craft area, it was such a big job but thankfully it's done for now, bet i make it a mess within a few days though! Today i have another inky tag that i have made for Dreamees, it's nice and bright though...
I created the background using some Tim Holtz Distress Inks and water, i also used a couple of stencils. All the stamps on this tag are by Dreamees. I used Silhouette Butterfly Stamp Set & Swirl Vine Stamp.Did you know you can pick up both these stamps for only £4.50, a total bargain!

Cupcake Cards

Well last night despite being up really early i couldn't actually sleep so i decided to just sit at my desk and create something simple. I was actually tired but not tired enough to sleep so i knew colouring and concentrating would be out of the question. I bought a few bits from the Dovecraft Cupcake Boutique Collection just to make up some quick cards so i decided to go along with that and here is what i came up with...
 I know they are really simple but i think they are kinda cute. Pretty much everything on these is from the Cupcake Boutique Collection. I have used the Decoupage Pad, 6x6 Papers, Sentiment Toppers and ohhh those gorgeous Resin Flowers! I am sooo loving these resin flowers that are popping up everywhere although this is the first time i have actually used them. I seem to like collecting things at the moment.

Right i best go and do some more work and then take the kids out :)

Farnborough Stash!

I have been working my socks off lately, lots of late night and working weekends, mostly behinds the scenes stuff and mag work so yesterday i had a well deserved day off. Of course it had to involve craft so i went to the Make It Show at Farnborough. We normaly exhibit at this show but we didn't this year but i still wanted to go as it's normally a fab show and yes yet again it was awesome! There were quite a few companies i spotted with fab stuff.. seeing as i only actually needed glue this is what i came back with... oops!
As you will see when it comes to shows i seriously i have no self control!! I might not be going to the NEC now so i thought i would make the most of it incase i can't go! Loads of stamps and alterable things of course and a few dies and some embellies too!! Can't wait  to get playing with it all. I have been trying to tidy my craft area and for once i can see my desk, hurrah!!

Hope you are all having a fab weekend :)

It's the first of the month already, wow this year is zooming by! It of course means the start of a new challenge over at My Mum's Craft Shop Monthly Challenges. This time our challenge is.. SPRING HAS SPRUNG, so we want to see spring images or spring colours..anything that reminds you of spring basically! Here is my card....
I have used one of the gorgeous new Wild Rose Studio Printed Panels Blackberry Lane. They are just such gorgeous images i can't play with the stamps too. I teamed this up with some very spring pastel papers by My Minds Eye called Memorable. I did used a fair bit of distress inks on this as i wanted it to be a bit more vintagy looking and almost forgot it was meant to be spring lol. The flower die is by Memory Box and i used a Tonic Punch for the border. I also added some flowers and of course some gems, ribbon & button.
