Waiting.....

........for happy mail, although I only ordered them last night so they may take a while LOL!!!!

Eye candy on the way!!!

I'm in love!!!

Another fabulous line from Webster's Pages....this one is Wonderfall and it's blooming gorgeous!!!

I'm a wee bit chuffed today too as the Webster's Pages layout I did of Jess a couple of days ago is one of the 5 featured photos on the InspireMe site today!!

Coming soon at CHA........

How gorgeous is this new Webster's Pages line........Hollywood Vogue....?

I think it's the first of any manufacturer's new lines that I've been excited about...can't wait to see the other 3 new lines!!!

Bargains!!

Went in to town today and came out with bargains!! New Look had jewellery at BOGOF so bought 2 necklaces which will be great taken apart:

I love the flower on the bottom one!!!

I also found another necklace (with a few bits missing) that would be fab for taking apart on the sale rack but it had no price on it so I asked the assistant who went off and checked for me and came back with another 2 (again with bits missing) and said I could have all 3 for just £1....woo-hoo!!!

I loved the flowery bit on these!

Not a bad bargain!!

Billy Bargain!!!

Went out with MIL today to a newly opened craft shop Just Tracys and had a fab time looking around and of course buying a few bits. Would recommend anyone in Plymouth goes for a mooch around! Then off to the local garden centre which has a great offer on in the craft department...fill a goody bag with £40 worth of stash from the designated area and pay only £14.99! I bought 3 accent pens, Glossy Accents, 2 packs of rhinestone brads, a pack of journalling notes, an acrylic album and a My Minds Eye button box........not bad eh?!

Walk in the woods

When I bought some of the gorgeous new Prima papers I had no idea what I was going to use them for, I just knew that I loved them! I usually shy away from papers with a large bold design on them preferring to go for papers with tiny detailed designs on them (think KI Memories and DCWV). This is my first ever layout using Prima paper (although I've been a fan of Prima flowers for ages) and I hope it's OK! Materials used: Prima paper and flowers, Basic Grey die-cut doily (upside-down), Magic Scraps Coastal Netting (how old is this?!), Prima say it in pearls flower centres, Elusive Images butterly stamp, Promarkers, black Memento ink, black Sakura pen. Vintage lace, glass button, pins and rhinestone from stash. Title cut on Craft Robo - fonts are Pointedly Mad and Garamond.

No crafting

been done this week as I've been busy re-organizing my craft area. I've gone through every drawer/bag/box and looked at everything, taken embellishments out of packets and put in to boxes by colour, chucked out dried up paint tubes, tidied up tool drawers, emptied beads from bags in to bead boxes, cleaned my desk, emptied all my chipboard in to one drawer...... I bought one of these totes which got delivered today:

It now contains all my sewing stuff and beads. Before these were all in various boxes around the house but now I have them all in one place next to my desk so they're easy to get to.

I have started scrapping again tonight (it's lovely to not have to scrap in a mess!!) and will finish the LO tomorrow so check back then LOL!

Jess as Stephanie !!

Today we all went to Mum and Glyn's for our Christmas Day as we hadn't seen them over Christmas. We had a fantastic lunch of roast pork with all the trimmings and more presents to open! Jess had a dress-up outfit of Stephanie from Lazytown and looked so cute in it!

I had some fabulous presents from my Mum and Glyn and my brother - a whole bunch of rubber stamps by Crafty Individuals, Artistic Outpost, Paperbag Studios, Tuscan Rose and Hampton Art.

I think I'm going to be busy for a while with EZ Mount, cutting out stamps and then using them!!

Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Shopping!!!

I went out today to a fab craft shop that my neighbour gave me a voucher for and had a fab time spending it!!

Beads and buttons for papercrafts and sewing/textiles.

Glittery stuff, Crafty Notions Rainbow Drops and more bugle beads. I also got some more Angelina fibres and a couple of Catslife Press stamps.

In the post this morning these stamps I ordered arrived along with some sheets of EZ-Mount and my blending solution ready for when my alcohol inks arrive (hopefully tomorrow).

After going to the craft shop I also visited the Hobby Warehouse which is wonderful and came out with some fab bargains of 13 books on sewing, papercrafts and Dover clip art.

That's a lot of my birthday money gone now but I've loved spending it LOL!!

I won!!!

Remember this card?

Well, I won the August card challenge at UKS to make a clean and simple card with this one and today I received my prize package from Leo at Crafty Templates and it's fab! Hoping to have a play with it over the weekend but we have visitors coming on Sunday so I need to have a "tidy up" tomorrow LOL!

KI happiness!!

I've been after the KI Memories tins for a while now but refused to buy them from the US as postage was so expensive but last week I saw them at Scrapbook Outlet Online and ordered a couple: How gorgeous are they?! I only ordered on Thursday morning and they turned up this morning. Looking forward to having a play with them later.

My billy bargain!

I've been after some Bazzill swatches for a while but they're too expensive for what they are so imagine my dance of joy when I won this: on Ebay for the grand total of less than £15 including postage!! Woo-hoo!!!

Been shopping!!

I will soon be the proud owner of a Bind-it-all (which I swore I'd never buy but have changed my mind!) and the new Bella Blvd papers which I raved about on a previous post and have just hit the UK shores!! Woo-hoo! Thanks to my dear OH for the Bind-it-all xxxxx

Bella Blvd

Have you seen the new Bella Blvd blog? The papers look gorgeous and are just the type of style I love to work with. Here's a peak at one of them:

Looking forward to seeing more sneak peeks and getting them over here in the UK! Good luck to Stephanie with the company.
