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.

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 :)
