Samuel Taylors Leeds Workshop

Hello All,

just a quick one with a sneak peek of the cards I will be teaching tomorrow at Samuel Taylor's in Leeds.

The stamps used are some new ones from Hero Arts, Etched Flower and Airships collection. I have also used the new Spellbinders Edgabilities, Labels Fifteen & Labels Eighteen. Copic markers in Buttercream Yellow and Honey Yellow are used in combination with the Etched Flower. The brand new Fun Days paper collection from My Minds Eye have worked really well with the Airships collection, perhaps for thoese pesky teenager cards!!!

Hope that you like them?

GNPE - Harrogate Show

Good Morning Bloggers,

Well then, its that lovely time of year when one of my fave shows of the season is held.... the Great Northern Paper crafts extravaganza!

I'm busy preparing the kits for Saturday and Sunday's Breakfast workshops that this year I will be teaching, we are making TWO cards and in the goody bag you get to KEEP TWO brand new Cling Stamps from HERO ARTS! Wowzers eh?

I'm also busy creating samples using the brand new Penny Black Stamps, that we will be featured over the weekend on the Samuel Taylors Stand!!!

Do pop by to say hello, our stand is located at the very end near to the entrance to the food hall!

Yesterday I took a day off from my real job at the NHS to order baby McCrossans pram, it was so exciting, we've opted for the Silver Cross 3D Sport in Ebony! lol the names of these prams are just so funny, you would thing we were ordering something to take us to outaspace!!

It wasn't the most expensive pram in the shop (my mum says thank god) but its practical, small and very agile, as we do alot of traveling, walking and camping this is just what we need.

Next week we are off to get a papoose and slings for Ewan and I!

Then we are looking forward to a week of in May when the Nursery will be decorated and the beautiful Humphrey's corner nursery furniture will be delivered, I tell you it's all systems go from now on!

Back to craft have you seen my articles in this months "Making Cards Magazine"?

I designed a spring collection in lovely lemons and whites, then at the back of the magazine you will find my grungy looking Pirate cards for boys, they would make great birthday party invitations!

The materials I used are listed in the magazine, however you can locate the Tim Holtz Products from any Personal Impressions stockist and the Stamps are from Stamping Up, to find your nearest demonstrator check out Stampin Ups website.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the weekend,

Take Care,

Card Craft Plus - Preston

Good Evening Bloggers,

Phew, I'm shattered!!!!
I've Had a great day today at Card Craft Plus in Preston, I have been demonstrating as part of their 1 year anniversary of the New Inspirations Shop at Capitol Way in Preston!

It's such a lovely shop, with very lovely staff and yummy customers, each and every time I do any work at CCP, either workshops or demonstrations, I'm always well looked after, Subway Lunches, lots of refreshments and today even a Cadbury's Crunchie with Georgina!!! mmmmmm

I'm back again tomorrow teaching a mini workshop, spaces are very limited, I think only the afternoon session still has some spaces. Like I said in my last post we are using a set of Hero Arts Stamps and Distress Inks to create background work, main focal images and "Inchies" art!!

So off to bed now, me and Bump are a wee bit tired and an early night will do us the world of good!

Take Care,

S & B xxx
