Chicken Soup #30

Here's my take on this weeks Chicken Soup Recipe.

This weeks theme is based on a Coupon Book image.

Couldn't resist using Tim's Lost & Found Papers

alongside my current favourite stamps by U-Mount.

Also used was the Fiskars Border Punch

& Tim's Sizzix Alterations Die - Regal Crest

Pop on over to the Chicken Soup Blog

& get Inspired this Weekend!

Inspiring Weekend!

This Weekend we were lucky to attend a

"Ranger on the Road" Workshop sponsored

by Personal Impressions.

3 Delightful hours were spent in the Company

of Tim Holtz & Dyan Reaveley creating

3 Beautiful Canvases which are now proudly

displayed in the shop cabinet :)

We had the Opportunity to road test the new Ranger

Distress Stains, Resist Papers, Perfect Pearls, Glues,

Sizzix Alterations etc. etc.

Now we sit patiently & wait for our lovely

new stock to arrive!

We are now taking Pre-orders of some Advantus &
Stampers Anonymous Stamps by Tim Holtz,
which we know will be here very soon :)

Busman's Holiday

(bŭs'mənz) n. Informal

A vacation during which one engages in

activity that is similar to one's usual work.

We're off to Birmingham this morning

& will be attending a 3 hour Workshop

with Mr Holtz learning about some of

the new Ranger products which we

will have for sale very soon!

On Sunday we'll be at the Trade

Show @ the NEC drooling & choosing

other new products, how will we decide!?

Pickleberry will be open as normal today

looked after by the Lovely Louise,

who will be hosting a £1 Crop.

There are still 3 spaces open,

so if you fancy, give her a call

to confirm :)

We've had quite a few New Products

delivered over the last week

including K&Co Flora & Fauna papers

and embellishments, Pom Pom fringes &

Luscious laces by the yard, New Stickles &

 Liquid pearls colours, more colours of Tim's

Distress Ink Pads, and quite a variety of clear &

UnMounted & Cling Stamps

I think this set from Artemio is my current favourite!

Have a Great Weekend & we'll report

back next week :)

Chicken Soup #28

Managed to find the time to craft this week :)

Just had to have a go with my new Cameo Mould.

Don't ya love Fleabay!

Pop on over to the Chicken Soup Blog

& get inspired this weekend!

I started with a Gorgeous sheet of paper

from the Kaisercraft English Rose Collection.

I mounted the 3 sections onto Chipboard

& added lace, adhesive pearls, Chipboard Hearts,

an Ornate Plate, a Wooden Spool wrapped with a

teeny strip of ribbon and even weenier buttons.

Lastly I added a smattering of stamped images

before tying with string & bows.

Have a great Weekend Everyone!
