 And now for some news – Elaine, owner of Quixotic Paperie has asked me if I’d like to rejoin the QP design team.   How could I turn down an offer to be part of such a fabulous crafty stash store that’s just full of things I love to buy?  Well, I didn’t!   I accepted and I’m absolutely delighted to be back with Elaine and her super talented design team.

   You can see all the latest products here – including the wonderful new Echo Park Christmas collections, Crate Paper 6×6 pads and the gorgeous Prima Craftable flowers.

Thanks for popping by today – have a great weekend.  

Whiff Of Joy Little Witch…

Ahhhh, well, my internet/computer problem is fixed – I think it’s time I bought a new PC!  It’s good to be back online  

I love Halloween and all the things that go with it.  We don’t really celebrate it here – I just wish it lasted longer than one evening so that I could use all the spooky stamps etc that I have!

This Whiff Of Joy ‘Little Witch’ by Elisabeth Bell, is so cute – if witches can be cute!  In my mind, she is flying past the moon – but she would look just as good sitting on something – plenty of  creative options with your stamping!  I cut the circle with a circle nestie and airbrushed the background with yellow and grey – though it doesn’t show up too well on the photograph.  The fab sentiment is included with the witch stamp.

I finally got around to using my new Distrezz- it-All from Zutter – what a fab machine it is!  I didn’t ever enjoy distressing and all the mess – but this just makes it soooooooo simple!  I think I’m going to be doing a lot of distressing from now on – love the finish it gives.

Well, best be off, the outside of the house if being painted this week – and I’ve got lots of new rubber to ink up!

Thanks for looking – see you all soon!

Bee Happy…

 Hello…here’s another ‘just for fun’ card!  I’ve used Claudia’s wonderful Whiff of Joy sketch…and I’m going to add it, via a comment, to the WOJ inspiration blog where you can see a picture of Claudia’s sketch.  I couldn’t resist this new image…Mr and  Mrs Foxglove…just love them   I don’t make Easter cards, so it was nice to find a new release that wasn’t specifically for Easter!

I dug out some old…but still lovely, Bo Bunny papers, used a Fiskars border punch for a change, nesties label die, MS fern punch, flowers from stash.  I couldn’t manage to fit this image into a circle as per the sketch, but it works ok as a rectangle!

Well, I’m off to do some shopping now…thanks ever so for popping by and for your lovely comments…hope you have a good day
