Hi everyone, I have been busy again, it was the trade show at the NEC last Sunday and I had a great time, I just wish I could have spent more as there were so many lovely things, a kid in a sweet shop comes to mind. It was also good as I met up with my good friend Gwen who has a craft shop in Lancashire and we don't get to see each other very often, Gwen is the one I blame for introducing me to rubber stamps and costing me a fortune over the last 20 odd years.
I placed an order with Craftwork Cards and have their Card Candy and shaped cards arriving soon, from Creative Expressions there are loads of new Spellbinders coming in, some are the extra large ones and the others are some of their new designs, Spellbinders blog is well worth a visit and has some super nice projects on it. I then could not resist visiting the Sizzix stand so there are some new goodies coming from them as well.
I had the new Stampendous Jumbo Cling stamps in just before the show on a pre order and have been making lots of cards with them, I have put 2 photos on and was also going to put pics on of the stamps but silly batteries went in my camera so i will do that on my next blog.
Have a lovely weekend

Hi, hope you ladies all received lots of flowers and cards this morning, I've been a very lucky girl as my lovely husband came up trumps with a card and a new charm for my Pandora bracelet, guess that puts him in my good books, will have to treat him to a steak tonight!!!
The weekend has flown by as normal, we had a lovely class on Saturday using some new funky flower stamps we have had in, will post as soon as photos taken. I went to the warehouse in the week with the intention of only buying what was on my list but unfortunately they had loads of new things in which blew my budget out of the window. I bought some lovely new stamps, papers and matching flowers along with a few other things, I don't know which to play with first.
The cards today are made with some new sets of Kanban stamps which you have all loved so as promised here are some of the cards I made with them........
I stamped the images with Brilliance Crimson pearlescent ink and put on clear embossing powder to give some depth, ribbon and stardust stickles were added to finish off, the colour was just right for these very girlie stamps.
The last card is made using the teacup set but this time I have used a blue ink with clear powder to give that willow pattern effect.
Have a lovely day,

Hi, we have had these new stamps in from Kanban and I loved them straight away, the cards were ones we made in Saturday's workshop. I found them very easy to use and hope you like the cards we made.
This was made on a large 8" by 8" card, using purple Stazon ink, pro marker pens, lavender pearl card, silver ribbon and of course some Stickles for the sparkle.
This was an A5 card, the image was stamped in black Stazon and coloured with gold and green H2O's which i haven't used for ages, I added some pretty ribbons and some beads to finish it off.
I will be busy for the rest of the week as I have 9 ladies coming on Saturday for a workshop, so loads of prep to do and then an all day workshop on Tuesday, there are a few spaces left on the Tuesday class, we are making a miniature chest of drawers, a note book and a card. For Jan and Liz I will be making a big creamy sponge of course. Hope you all have a good week, I have made quite a few cards which I will add soon, love to you all and thanks for looking,
Deb xx
