Kit fix & Craft Fair

At last I've had a craft fix! Well, of sorts anyway.
I first saw this kit in the flesh at the SU convention last year so I ordered it as soon as I could.

It's called Happenings Simply Created Card Kit and at £13.50 to make 15 cards it's brilliant value for money.

Here are the three designs suggested in the pack. You get enough items in the kit to make 15 cards and you can add items from your stash too.



I've used an image from Itty Bitty Banners on the bottom card just to show how SU design their products to coordinate with lots of items.

I'm going to the Hemsworth Spring Craft Fair this Saturday (8th March) if you fancy coming for a chat. It's on from 10 til 2pm and entry is free. I will have lots of little items for sale made with SU products.

The address is Hemsworth Community Centre, Bullenshaw Road, Hemsworth, Pontefract, WF 9 4NE.

Nearly 4 Weeks and No Crafting!

Yep! How bad is that!!?

Work and life in general has really got in the way of my crafting this month.

I even missed out on going to the Doncaster Racecourse Craft Show last Saturday as I had to work!!!

The chickens are doing great, they even go up to bed on their own now - saves me having to crawl under the coup and catch each one to put them in bed. Not a ladylike activity I can assure you.

Shadows skin has massively improved. The vet said that if he was a smaller dog his flee infestation was so bad he would have been anaemic. He must have been suffering for months.

He's started his inoculations and all being well should get spayed in the next few weeks. He has been a little poorly for the last few days with an upset stomach but the vet isn't too worried about him.

We are officially his mum and dad now so all we need to do now is get Mrs Miggins used to him...

Anyway, enough of my rambling. I have a place left on this weeks class spare. So if you fancy a couple of hours making 4 cards using different Ombré techniques, book now. The class is on Saturday 1st March 11 am til 2pm

Firstly. Here are a group of cards I made using a free card making lit from Stampin' Up! Good as Gold.


There are card blanks, French, German and English sentiments, envelopes, twine elastic thread and other elements to make 8 cards and the quality is really good.

You can get your free kit by spending £45 during the Sale-a-Bration period (now, until the end of March).

Now, I've been harping on about a new addition and here he is, please welcome, Shadow.


He's very nervous and will take a while to settle but we're getting there slowly. I'll post updates of him regularly so you can see how he's doing.

And another special event we had this afternoon...








Drum roll please








Our very first egg!



How exciting is that!!!!

Mini Memories Simply Created Album Kit Sneak Peek

Hello

I'm so excited, lots of stuff happening right now and if you read further down you will see today's new additions.

Here is a sneak peek of a brand new kit to create your own mini album. I have only used the items in the kit and to be honest, you don't really need anything else. There's the chipboard covers, plenty of pages, some of the beautiful new vellum papers and for decorating you get lots of items including doilies, bakers twine sequins and clips.






I haven't put the photos in yet, and am thinking of putting old family photos but I want to plan it properly, so it might be a few weeks before it's finished.

Well, here are some photos of out new additions...










How cute are they!!!? We have got absolutely nothing done since we picked them up this afternoon - we just keep going out and watching them.

Hopefully we should have another new addition next weekend, but I don't want to tempt fate, so you will have to wait and see about that.

Got to shoot now as I have to get ready for the Westfield Sports College Craft Show in Sheffield tomorrow. Me, Sara, Joanne and Hazel have a stand there, hope to see you there if you can make it.
