A Great Weekend!

So, Jane & myself hauled ourselves up to

Birmingham early hours of Saturday morning

to attend the Ranger workshop sponsored by

Personal Impressions at the NEC.

We created a fabby Ikea frame choc full of

Ranger products and techniques taught by

Suze Weinberg, Claudine Hellmuth &

Tim Holtz.

Had to chuckle when I spotted myself on a

photo on Tims Blog, you'd never know it was

me but I assure you I'm the speck on the far right

at the side of the room!

Here's the project we made, this is Tim's example

(photo taken from Suze's Blog)

My copy is in the shop on the Ranger table :)

I just have to finish, no let me be honest - redo

one element then I will upload a photo, LOL!

On Sunday we visited the trade show and

had a good root around!

Orders were placed and the first consignment

arrived today!

Gorrrrrgeous flowers made from paper and fabrics.

Here's one of them...

They're all online here and are currently

taking center stage in the shop, it looks

like a dolls house florist shop! So cute :)

Look out for DIY Prima style layouts and cards,

me thinks we're gonna be busy creating!

Also ordered were cute ickle buttons like these....

and some of these guys

and oodles more, keep checking the Coming Soon &

New Products pages on the site.

Take care for now :)

Free crop day tomorrow!

Bit late posting I know but if you're at a

loose end tomorrow (Saturday),

10am - 4pm, tea/coffee/biscuits

as usual plus use of our stamps :)

Julie is host as myself & Jane are off

to Birmingham for a workshop with

Take care all :)

Flower Power Clipboard & Card Workshop

Flower Power Clipboard & Card

Just a quick plug for this amazing workshop

which is in two weeks time on Saturday

27th February with the talented Louise Connell!

It's a bit of a last minute one but we thought it

would be perfect for Mothers Day

(if you could bring yourself to give it away of course!)

This £15 workshop will run from 10am till noon,

where you will be using The Artistic Stamper

Flower stamps, Jo Sonjas paints and the

gorgeous Bo Bunny papers.

It doesn't stop there, bring along some lunch

and you can then stay for the afternoon and

make use of our extensive stamp &

die cutting collection.

Louise creates cards to die for and has set

up a successful business where she sells

her creations on the Misi site. She is also

produces fantastic scrapbook layouts

which have been published in mags :)

Inspired by Prima

Well who isn't???!!!

I just love cards and layouts with depth & chunkiness!

Here's one using Teresa Collins paper, painted over with

Jo Sonja's paints, edged with the mighty Woodware trimmer,

Embellished with Liquid Pearls, Brown Glitter paper hearts
punched with EK Success punches, Prima flowers, Lace, beads

buttons and general odds and ends.

Playing again!

Look what we did this morning!!!

Love to see the different colours and words
Such a unique workshop, thanks Julie :)
