Happy St Davids Day to all my welsh followers.  It's been all go here this week, in my wonderful world of paper and glue :-)  I've managed to get two new projects designed, made and almost written .........  why does it take soooooo long to write something that seems so simple? lol!!!!  I thought I"d grab a quick coffee, share our February Giveaway winners with you all before starting on my mammoth task of the day and pack up the car ready to drive up to Sterling , Scotland tomorrow.  It's a 350 mile trip up, and just a tad (well 100 miles) further than popping down to Cornwall, which is next weeks little outing. Must make sure I don t forget anything - there's no popping home from Scotland.  Anyway ladies if you're coming along to join me at our UK Graphic 45 2 Day Workshop in Tillicoultry here's what we're making.     I loved, loved loved putting this project together.  The colours are beautiful and although I've gone fo...

Happy 1st of the month everyone, can you believe it's only 55 days 'til Christmas!  I thought I'd share another sample from tomorrows shows with you.  I went for an industrial look on this stamp/card storage unit. Once I'd covered it in embossed white card I used shades of green and rusty paints, gold and bronze treasure gold to get a verdigris look and then added some of Andy Skinners industrial elements from Tando to the front section to finish off the overall look.  this unit is great to hold A5 journals or albums too. I made the two in the unit from scratch and both have painted fabric covers. I'm all prepped and ready to head down to the Hochanda Studios in Peterborough tomorrow. So excited to be on with Hannah and Alex and have some gorgeous demos to share with you. Hope you can grab a coffee and join me for an hour or two at 6pm & 9pm:-) Here's how to watch live SKY  663  (24/7)     FREEVIEW  85  (24/7)  ...
