Sue

Omg look at Sue's FIRST attempt a Silk foam flowers, they are stunning Sue, such fantastic results, the photo doesn't do them justice to be honest, they are gorgeous and so soft to touch.  These flowers have been enhanced with a little Peacock feathers distress ink. You have done an amazing job Sue, can't wait to make some with you XXX

Val

Val and Lynn have been busy making these cute little lambs to display around the shop for Easter, they are made with a Cotton Pad, I think they are so cute, the shop is going to look amazing by the time you have finished. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely lambs with all of us. XXX

Janet

I had to include the remaining two Challenge Cards from Janet, I just can't have anyone going to the trouble of making cards and me not showing them.  

Janet's first card is made using: Sheena's Brick Wall stencil from her 'remember When' collection.  The main image is from a collection called "Clara and Edward is Immortal" from Visible Image.  Janet coloured them with Aquacolour and Sparkle pens.  Crafters Companion Twine and flowers from Janet's stash.

Janet's second card uses: Die'sire Lace Corners and Sue Wilson's 'Fillables' Jewelled Heart Die.  The ribbon and pearls are from Janet's stash.

Thank you so much for two fabulous cards Janet XXX

Shopping

Val

Val has bought some lovely craft goodies this week, first up some fantastic Die storage folders, you'll have them filled in no time Val !! 

Val bought the collection of John Lockwood's stamps, such a useful collection too, I live the flowers and the Dragonflies. I look forward to seeing how you use of all them.

Val also bought the lovely Chloe's Magazine, I saw this featured on Hochanda, you got a lovely collection of Free gifts with it.  I love watching Chloe create her cards on TV,  her cards are stunning.

Thank you so much for sharing your craft Shopping with us Val XXX

 Brenda

Brenda also couldn't resist the lovely Chloe's Magazine, I am not surprised though, just look how many free gifts you get, Brenda says the papers are amazing quality. You got Stamps, background and Flowers and Butterflies, a mask and a die, an Embossing Folder and those Free papers!  What a fantastic deal, I actually think it was a sell out on the show.  Thank you so much for sharing Brenda XXX

 Margaret

Margaret got some lovely craft goodies while we were at the Craft Show at Bracknell last Saturday.  

Some Aquacolour pens, (they were a great price)! Some Colall Glue and some fine tip applicators. 

Some pretty foiled card, a fantastic Woodland Stencil and Brayer

Some tools for shaping flowers, stamens some Silk foam to make flowers and some more glue pens.  (I believe that Sue and Margaret are going to do a Glue Review after testing a good selection) It will be featured on here sometime soon.  Thank you so much Margaret for sharing your shopping with us.

Sue

Sue's first bargains were from the Sale Department at Hobby Craft, each die was just 50p!! The washi Tape too, Sue says she uses it as low tack tape for her dies etc as it is so much cheaper than buying the scotch tape.

Thanks Sue for sharing your shopping with us. Xxx

Sue managed to find some bargains at the craft show too,  the same Ball Tool and Silk foam for making flowers, some distress oxide inks, a variety of glue and applicators, a lovely script effect mask, some glitter and wood effect paper, 

My Shopping

I couldn't resist this Collection of Stamps designed by Lisa Horton, you get such a great variety of stamps including a fantastic set of Sentiments. I can't wait to play with them.

That's all for this week, I spent the whole day yesterday emptying boxes in my craft room , I am a little frustrated as I can't find the box with my Stampin Up ink and Punches in, it has to be here somewhere!  Paul couldn't get on the garage to check yesterday as the door was behind a snow drift.  The search will continue today, the unpacking will too, it's hard to decide what to put where though. 

We have a quiet day today as everyone is off work, Sophie's visit to Coventry University has been postponed which I am glad about as I didn't want them to travel in the snow. 

I hope you all have a fab day,

Love and hugs 

Sandra
