Ever had a week that just vanishes!?!

Well that was my 'last week' - I've just never stopped!
So, sorry that there has been a lack of posts over the past week - lots of projects have been made and I have lots to show you over the next couple of days/weeks so normal service should be resumed! lol

Over on the Crafting Cafe there is a new challenge - Winter Blues is the theme.
It would be amazing if you would pop on over to the blog and join in the challenge with us.
There is a prize this month of 4 digis - we are sponsored by the wonder Lindsay from LEJ Designs.....

Here are the cards I made for the challlenge

and of course, a few close ups for you.....

I loved this challenge - I took the theme to be exactly what it said and I only used blues...... I really like the way they turned out.
What crafty things have you been up to?

The Crafting Cafe has a new challenge

It's the first of the month - how did we get to July already!!!!! so that can only mean one thing.....
Over on the Crafting Cafe blog there is a brand new challenge...
This month the challenge is to get creative with the theme 'Summer's here'
It's up to you how you interpret that theme, could be with colours or images.....

The challenge is sponsored this month by Lindsay and there is a prize of 4 of her digis - so please pop on over and join us.

Here are the cards I made using one of Lindsay's digis....
I've used the same blossom image to create 3 very different cards,

Back to the demo sample making for me now..... I have 2 demos this week.
Friday you will find me in Inkspot in Hamilton and then on Saturday you will find me in Millers in Glasgow.
I'll be using all the new launch items from Do Crafts..... remember to pop by ad say hello if you are in the area.

I'll be back later this week to show you some of my samples.
Till then, happy crafting...

Guest design post for Lej Designs

I was really pleased to be asked to be a guest designer for LEJ Designs... you will find the challenge blog here....
The theme for this weeks challenge is 'Things with wings'.
I got to chose the digi that I wanted to work with (and boy did that cause me an issue - I wanted to work with them all!!!) So I chose to use the snowdrops....
It would be really good if you could come on over and join in the challenge, hope to see you there!
