A few more...

Here are a few more cards i made a while ago that i thought i would add to my blog!! They are all extremely quick & easy cards to make, which my eldest daughter helped me make! Even though they are simple and not my usual style, they have been extremely popular!!



These were made using the lovely new range from Dovecraft. I simply used the Cupcake Decoupage Pad and i found some Pebbles Inc Rub Ons to finish them off. I plan to make a matching binder or box so i can do a little coordinating set.



I picked up these groovy little 3d Stickers from a local value store but blimey they are sooooooo good value. Got 2 A4 sheets full of 3d stickers for £1.20!! They were meant to be for Lissy but we decided to share them!! I teamed them up with some coordinating cardstock and stuck to a simple yet striking design. Fabulous for boys cards!!

And then some cards

Now i have always loved the fantastic Gorjuss Girls designs and i absolutely love the new die cut decoupage versions of them! They are just so sweet and brilliant for making fast, quick & easy cards!!

Now here are a few that i made in minutes with the help of my eldest daughter Lissy (only 4yrs!). She likes to help mummy put 3d foam pads on everything!!

I try to do as many different types of cards as i possibly can as all my customers that buy my cards want something different!! Stamping is still my favorite though, especially with cute girly charactors & animals!! I have been told i need to do more floral and also mens cards! Tricky as i don't have much of either in my stash at the moment, lol!! Another reason to shop!!

Quick Bits n Bobs!

Here is some quick things i put together for the craft stall i mentioned in my previous post!! It was a bit of a last minute thing so i only had a couple of days to get anything ready!! My pet hate is being rushed too!! GGRRRRR! lol

Little Notepads: These are made using the cute die cut decoupage by Paper Mania and matching papers. Added some cute green jewels to match and of course scallop punches!!

More Slightly Bigger Notepads: I used the new range by Papermania for these. I used the clear stickers and put them onto white cardstock and mounted them onto matching paper that i used to cover the front of the notepads.

Post It Note Holders: The top two are made with DCWV Papers & Chipboard and the bottom two are made with K&Co matching papers and embellishments.

Sweetie Jars: Mini Jars filled with Mini Imperials with matching papers & chipboards by DCWV, from an old TSV.

Decorated Homemade Lemon Curd Jars: These lovely summery papers are also from the DCWV set i have had for some time! I am eventually getting round to using them!

My Craft Stall!!

Well my new router just turned up so now i have proper internet back!!! It's been so long and you have no idea how amazing it is compared to gprs on mobile broadband!!

So here is some piccies of my latest few bits n pieces i have been doing. I will make a few posts today so all my bits and pieces are uploaded & will also update my galleries too!

Here are the pics of my stall i had at my boyfriends parents house, it was there villages Gardens Open Day! I did extremely well and sold lots of cards which is great so i can now afford to get a few new bits and pieces at Newbury next weekend!!

I never knew i had such a stockpile of stuff i had made & this is only part of it!!! I'm hoping to once again supply some local stores to fund my stash habit!!!

I shall find all my latest creations & get them posted on here & i will enjoy once again catching up on your blogs & creations too!!

Hellloooooooooooooooo - I'm Back!!

Well well well, it's been such a LOOOOOONG time since my last post!!!

Where has the time gone??!!

Well lots of things have happened, i had a bit of a break from crafting as have been moving around a fair bit so i haven't had the time or space to unpack it all!! I have now finally got a nice new built flat in a lovely posh area of dorset lol. I also have more news..... i have another baby girl!! She was born 20th November 2009 called Jasmine Alanna Mai. She is nearly 7 months now so into everything and a very smiley girl just like her big sister Lissy.

I been sorting through my craft stuff and although sadly i did have to sell alot i still do have a fair bit of stuff. Just means i get to buy more exciting things! I am saving up to go to Newbury Artstamps as i do usually go so i am sure i will get some new rubbah amongth other bits and bobs!

Next week i get proper internet (hopefully) as currently im on mobile broadband and it doesn't like blogger to much so i will upload cards n photos and things when i can!!

Off to view everyones blogs and see what you have all been up to!!!!

Experience
I have worked in the Craft Industry for the past 16 years since the young age of 18.
It was also at this age that i started my first business an online shop called First Class Crafts.
This online shop grew and grew and was turned into a bricks & mortar shop after the first year.
The business was sold in 2008 and has since merged to become Dies To Die For.
In 2008 I also created a stamp company called Spiral Whisper. In 2010 I decided to set up another online shop called My Mum's Craft Shop, we had several shops but closed our doors in 2017. I have now decided to concentrate on what I love - making cards for magazines and design teams!

Freelance & Commissions
I am happy to accept any commissions or freelance work, all offers will be considered, no matter how big or small. Please email me for more information.

AWOL!

Sorry i have disappeared off the planet lately! I have been moving house again and to say it has been hectic is the understatement of the century! So i haven't been able to craft at all however i am just about all moved in and i do have all my craft stuff surrounding me so hopefully i will get some inspiration and get making some stuff!!

Now the only problem i do have is that my internet dongle can't pick up 3G here only a very poor gprs signal so uploading images may be tricky but just means i will have to take my laptop and sit in lovely starbucks for a while :)

So stay tuned for creations very soon!!!
