Going, Going, Gone

Fabulous crafting day, the hustle and bustle was immense at Create and Craft yesterday, I arrived at 9am bumping into Sara Davies at the reception desk and having a catch up later in the green room, I blinked and it was 11 am and time for the first show with Dave Bradford (lovely Man) we had great sales from all you wonderful crafters and by the time we were ready for the 2nd show the panic set in that we wouldn’t have enough so we pulled out all stops and secured more stock so that you wouldn’t miss out.

Here is a couple of shots of the second show with the lovely Ellis Ward

The first is meet and greet

It soon became obvious that the massive stock just wasn’t going to last as you went into a buying frenzy and yes we had a sell out.

This is Ellis and myself telling customers to check out their basket if they were on line.

well done to all those that managed to get both cd roms.

I got home just after 6:30 and had a well earned cuppa.

Today is my Birthday so as I am writing this in the early hours of the morning I’m figuring I should climb the stairs and have a lie in.

Nothing Finer

Sitting in hotel with my feet up on the bed with my favourite tipple full bodied tea with a threat of milk.
I will be on Create and Craft tomorrow at 11am and 2pm I created a new card pack and I know you are going to love them amongst lots of other goodies.

Pinks and Browns

You know when you have a colour layout in your head but you never can quite find the shade you are looking for? well this happened to me months ago so I laid the image to one side and every now and again i would pick it up and try to match it again and end up laying it right back down and using another image.

I picked up a paper pack at Harrogate on the The Hobby House stand and I knew instantly that it would be perfect for this image.

Winifred from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

 

I used pearls from Mei Flower to accent the card, their pearls are second to none and the range is amazing as well as their prices. the flowers are made from the brown paper and the larger one with my Tonic Studios pinking shears.

 

I used one of the spellbinders frame dies to cut out the image and finished with a pretty bow.

Wonderful Day–Fixer Boy

We (Mam and I) had a wonderful day at Harrogate at the Papercraft Extravaganza, we set out around 10am and got there around 11.30, a little browse around then had a sandwich and a cup of tea, saw some welcome faces and old friends, big shout out to Jacqui Dennis love that girl got a cuddle and a long awaited chat.

We were greeted at the door with someone calling my mam famous for being on my blog yesterday, that made her day so thank you to the kind lady who recognised us.

I made a card when I got home using Fixer Boy from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I used a pre shaped card from Craftwork Cards and added some pearls from Mei Flower as you can see I got loads while I was there but give them a visit as they had a fabulous selection to choose from.
