Rico Design - Can Can Scarf

Well it isn't very often that I post an image of myself but I was so proud that I made a frilly scarf I just had to show you all.
My friend Lorraine Robinson is totally to blame for setting me off scarf making, when Lorraine said how easy it was I just had to find out for myself .


So no card today but hey just look at my fabulous Scarf, I have started another one too, in burnt orange shades, If you want to know how easy they are to make hop over to Lorraine's blog as she has a tutorial on there.

Pictures from the Pins and Needles show

As I told you earlier we are at the Metro Arena with the Pins and needles Craft Show and there is so much to see there, not only paper crafts but all different types of crafts that is sure to inspire you.

Now I'm back there on Saturday but don't worry if you need a demo tomorrow I've been training up the guys to stand in for me, below is a picture of Craig showing his stuff to the passing ladies ha ha!


Ooh I love this display that I found whilst browsing.



This was another clever sew'n'sew that I found at the show.







I met a very talented lady named Joan Cutts, her work is amazing, I haven't a website for her but if you want something very special her prices are very reasonable, you can contact Joan at joancutts@aol.com



Now how about finishing off the experience with a bit of indulgence

My Scrapbook - A Day for Daisies

Such a lovely image this one, my two girls when they were small went to stay with friends of ours for a weeks holiday and they kept a scrapbook whilst they were there, year later and they still loved looking through it.

My Scrapbook by A Day for Daisies and coloured with Copic Markers.

That scrapbook is nearly as big as she is lol!

I used the large script stamp by Stampin Up for the background some Marianne dies for the flourishes and some circle punches to make the easy blossoms and tucked a pearl inside each one.

Mothering Sunday / Easter Card

I was thinking that although this isn't the typical Mothering Sunday card if you were to add the caption " Even though we've flown the nest you continue to feed us with love" and it would be perfect.

Equally it would work as an Easter card.

We're Hungry is one of the Newly released Digital Stamps by Just Inklined.

Coloured with Promarkers and Prisma Pencils stampin up designer papers, embossing folders by Sizzix and Cuttlebug and an Egg Nestabilities by Spellbinders.
