Print Perfect

One of the most common queries I get is “what paper or card do you use?” I can totally understand why people ask as it is a minefield out there in the crafting world, know what paper to use for what project you are doing. La Pashe has took all of the guess work out of it for you and brought out a colour coded set of papers and cards so that you never need to worry again Print Perfect

Christmas Presents–Not on the High Street

Well, I pondered and hummed and hawed over what to get for Grandson Jack, for a starter he is a lively 3 year old boy that says he doesn’t need any more toys from Santa this year.

Then I found it, a little online place called Not on the High Street full of goodies that you wont find in your regular high street shops.

Since Jack went on holiday he has been loving planes, paper ones, polystyrene gliders etc but the problem with that is they soon break and the tears start so we wanted something robust that he would get hours of enjoyment from and this gorgeous shop had just the thing.

Great for us too as it folds away into a tidy wooden box which will be easy to store I love this gift.

I just know he will get loads of pleasure from it.

They also have some pretty wicked men's gifts too, so if you are stuck for him indoors or need something totally different get over there and take a peek.

Christmas Not

I needed to play with something none Christmas and wanted to make something out of my comfort zone, we tend to get stuck in a style feel comfortable with it and keep it going with different variations.

I found a lovely new outlet called Wholeport, it has a bit of this and a it of that, the habidashery side of it is fabulous with lace, flowers, braiding material etc etc. It’s like an Aladins cave of goodness.

I used their resin flower some heave cotton lace and the pleated braid.

The Good Life1

I also used The Gold Life paper pack and twine from Ribbon Carousel

The Good Life2

As you can see it all comes together beautifully.
