WOYWW!

Today is my First post on

"What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday"

This week in between teaching, I've been

playing with the new papers from Echo Park - yummy!

So far 1 and a half cards and one Scrapbook Layout done.

The SB layout is for a surprise coming this Friday in Blogland!

Check back here then if you're interested in

Inspiration - let's face it "who isn't" 

So for those who don't know WOYWW,

hop on over to Julias' Blog for more details.

This looks like it could be fun & it also may push me

into working a bit more tidily than usual!

Have fun!

Studios for rent!

Would you love your own studio haven?

Would you like the opportunity to teach in a

Workshop that seats approx. 20 people?

Here's the deal!

We have the opportunity to rent the unit next door.

It has 6 Studios of varying sizes & a Huge Workshop room!

The rent covers gas/elec, wifi & 2 days a month in

which you can utilise the workshop room for selling & teaching classes.

Maybe you have a buddy who would like to share?

You will also have the possibility of renting the

worshopshop room on more occasions. The theory is, the profit

you make on teaching could pay for your studio rent - cool huh?!

If you'd just like a studio & teaching isn't your bag, that's fine too!

If you're interested give us a call or pop in anytime,

we have a set of keys to show you around :)

Workshop Plug!

A few new workshops and crops have been

added to the site today :)

Using the new Fancy Pants Wishful Thinking

this Amazing "It's in the Bag" workshop designed

by Jane Dean for £15

These are available on various dates

during June & July

More Mini Book Workshops featuring

Bo Bunny & American Crafts products...

Jennie, our Ranger Demonstrator buddy will

be teaching an All Day Jewelery Workshop

featuring Grungepaper, shrink plastic & metal

at the end of July :)

It's never too late to join in the Altered Book

evening on the second Tuesday of each month!

The first Tuesday evening of each month is

Open Cropping for scrappers, stampers,

Art Journallers and Card makers alike!

A Couple of Quickies!

As you can see I'm still playing with the leftovers from the

June Mini Kit (just can't throw it away can you!)

The Owl is a stamp from the Art Stamps Swirly Birds set,

the greeting from the lovely Sentiment Stamps by Autumn Leaves,

finished off with a few random flowers &

three Pickleberry Posies which have been inked with love!

Tools used are a Woodware Scallop Punch & the

Fiskars Scallop edge punch :)

This card uses more Art Stamps, this time the Feminine Set 1,

and the Autumn Leaves Sentiment Set as above. The background

is the Artistic Stamper Dots with Brilliance Crimson ink.

The cake & Sentiments is stamped with Versafine Black

and coloured with Promarkers then cut out with a Spellbinders die.

The May Arts ribbon is available in store only by the metre.

This card also uses the Feminine Set 1 by Art Stamps.
The background images stamped with Pumice Stone
& the Chandelier, sentiment & Background layers coloured
with Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks. The chandelier was cut
with Spellbinders then Pearl stones attached.
The background paper is MLS Love Birds
The ribbon is available in store only by the metre.

Next Monday & Friday we're running a Sun, Sea & Sand

Journal workshop. A Brilliant way to pre prepare for your

Summer Holiday whether at home or abroad!

The workshop costs just £10 and as usual, you are

welcome to stay for the day and make use of our

extensive stamp & die collection :)

Have a Sunny Weekend!

Happy 1st of June!

Brighten your Day and month!

First of all, this Months "20% Off" offer

goes to our favourites, Letraset Promarkers!

Secondly, we have an Amazing Mini Kit!

We say Mini, but the amount of cards &

layout produced, it might be better

described as MEGA! It's £6.50 and
