Mixed Up Saturday featuring Michele's magazine Review

Good Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you are all well and enjoying the weekend, fingers crossed that Storm Ciara passes without causing too much mayhem. 

We had an absolutely lovely day at Watford yesterday, we had a lovely lunch followed by some crafting, the hotel were kind enough to let us take over a big table in their restaurant, you could see them looking over from time to time, wondering what on earth we were all doing.

It was just lovely to catch up with everyone, it has made me more determined to organise an overnight stay meet up so that more of you can come and join us. 

I recently bought some Groovi things from a lovely lady called Sue on Facebook, I messaged her again on Thursday and we just got chatting, talking about crafting and the things that we have bought but don't use as often as we should etc, you know when you just 'click' with some one, anyway Sue shared a photo of a card that she made using Brusho's and it absolutely blew me away, it is STUNNING, so I asked her if it would be ok to share it on the Blog today, which she was kind enough to agree to.  I can already tell you Sue that I showed your card to ladies I met up with yesterday and they were amazed too, I think some of us have had 'mixed success' with Brusho's!

I hope you manage to stop by today Sue so that you can read what everyone thinks of your card.

Thank you so much for allowing me to share it today, I have no doubt that you will have inspired a few of us to get the Brusho's out to have another play! xxxx

Janet

Janet had included this incredible Owl plaque in her email with her Challenge cards, so I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity of sharing it today.

I will share Janet's description below:

"The Owl plaque is from MADHATTERs and madefrom MDF. I used a stencil from AALL & CREATE. I used Crafter's Companion SPECTRUM NOIR pens to colour."

He is just magnificent Janet and I absolutely LOVE that AALL & Create stencil, in fact I love all of their stencils as there is so much detail in them, I am really wanting to have a go with a Gel Plate/press too.
Thank you so much for sharing Janet xxxx
