2 posts in one day!

I thought I would do 2 posts today and 2 posts tomorrow to get all the samples from this weeks show out of the way.
That way next week I can show you something else....
So here are the next lot,

I love these little bears - boy or girl, I can't just decide... what do you think?
I guess they are just adorable little bears.

Back tomorrow with some more.

Today's selection...

of cards from the Me To You launch on Create and Craft.... (don't worry only a few more posts to go with the samples cards) lol.
Next time I promise to take a group shot and just pick out a few of my favourites - I just couldn't chose this time!

Today I am making more samples for another Create and Craft show.... there will be a couple on next week that I have made the samples for. 
One of then is an Oriental selection that Dawn Bibby will be showing, the other will be 'oor Sheila'.
As soon as I know all the details, I'll let you know.

Some more for you.....

Well here are my samples to show you today, these were part of the set I made for the Me To You launch on Ideal World last night.

The images are soooo sweet. Lovely to work with.
The die cut decoupage make things soooo much easier!!! And a lot of it is already glittered too!
I find that a lot of the backing papers can be used for any time of year - a great bonus if you have any left after making your Christmas cards.

Today my challenge is to make some more samples for an upcoming pick of the day..... shhhh - I can't tell you what it is yet, or show you anything from it.... but I can tell you it will be on Ideal World/Create & Craft on the 29th....... As soon as I can, I will upload the pictures of whatever I create....

Happy craftin'

Me To You Christmas...

I was lucky enough to be creating with lots of the wonderful Tatty Teddy goodies for the Me To You launch show that Do Crafts have brought to Create and Craft tonight...
Here are some of the samples I made,

I don't want to over load the post with pictures!!! lol - so I will put more pics up over the next few days. I have lots and lots to show you...
I managed to make 34 cards in one day!!!! - it really was a crafting marathon!

I hope you managed to get your cd or decoupage packs.
My samples where all made with the decoupage packs or stamps but all the images will be on your cds too.

Happy craftin'

Using grey

I had a wonderful demo this weekend up in Letham - such a fantastic shop, great customers and I just love Heleen and Bill (they are just the nicest couple that you will ever meet)...
One of the cards I made was this one,

I made this card to show that using grey is a good way to get a classical elegant looking card that can be used for any occassion.
I think the grey goes well with the little Tatty Teddy too.
The adhesive gems that I used are multicoloured so they change colour depending on the angle that you look at them.
Today the weather here is wild - 80mph winds and a lot of rain....
Hopefully it's a bit nicer where you are.

You're a star

Well this is take 2 with this post!
All my posts that I was working on the other day have now vanished - so it might take me a while to redo them all... so not a happy bunny when I found that one out this morning!!!

Oh never mind....
The card I wanted to show you this morning is this one............

The brick effect behind the little Tatty Teddy is made using a Tim Holtz embossing folder and some Kraft card. Once embossed all you do is drag an ink pad (brown) all over and the raised section then looks shaded.
I really like the effect that this has given.
I'll be back soon with a tutorial ...

Happy crafting

Feeling blue....

 

The card for today is another little Tatty Teddy. This time I created a masked moon in the background and then I thought I would add some detail by drawing in the wall and grass.

Again I stuck to using shades of blue so that the whole card co-ordinated.

This whole range really is sweet and it's going down a storm at demos across the country.

Black and blue

The wonderful world of Tatty Teddy and Me To You has now hit the shops in papercrafting items!!!
This little chap is sooo easy to use and fab for any occasion. There will be lots of samples of this range coming on the blog.......
I've called this one black and blue as those are the colours I've used.
Sometimes it's nice just to have a couple of colours rather than lots.
Yesterday I had a very very busy demo at Millers in Glasgow, thank you to all of you who came by to say hello.
Tatty Teddy, Tulip and the goody bag were all very popular.
I always get a buzz from crafting and when you get to share it with like minded people that makes it even better!
I'll be back there in 4 weeks, so pop the date into your diary and come on over and say hello...
