Sneak Peek of the new In Colors & 2 new bundles...

Wow... been a while... sorry for the radio silence... but we had a well needed break... and I never like to publicize the fact that we are on holiday... 

Though I REALLY have to laugh at myself as I type that... as of course we didn't go anywhere (apart from lovely long daily walks out in the Yorkshire countryside!) so it really wouldn't have mattered! Yet more proof that the brain isn't quite back up to speed...

I'll be back with more details very soon... but in the meantime here's a quick card using 2 new products, Elegantly Said and Flowers of Friendship... along with 4 of the 5 new In Colors... 

I did use all 5 but I then covered up the flower centres with the gorgeous Pastel Pearls... as they arrived whilst I was mid flow... and the co-ordination was just too good not to share!

Not long to wait now... as the new catalogue goes live on 4th May... 

And for those of you waiting for a hard copy of the new catalogue from me... these will be going postal tomorrow so you should have them for the weekend...

Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin - Bumper Showcase...

Released today in the UK and Europe... the Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit... designed to simply and quickly say Thinking of You as and when you need to... in lots of different ways should you care to scroll through all this post...

I know that these cards are the ones that people less like to make in classes... so this is a great way to be able to quickly make a beautiful card to send when you need one... 

As everything you need is in the box (except Clear Block D) to make 9 cards (3 each of 3 designs)  

OR to bulk make ahead (if you are more like me... as I prefer to have these cards ready and waiting to pop in the post as and when I need them... )

And the Kit was released in the US back in February... which is great ... because it means I can share some great alternative creations with the kit before I even have one in my hands...  Enjoy!

All made by fellow US demonstrators... just click on their highlighted name underneath their creations to go straight to the relevant blog or You Tube post... And thank you to each and everyone of you for your wonderful creations...

Monday Memory Keeping...

 

Preserving memories through memory keeping has to be one of the most satisfying ways to feed a creative urge.  Not only does it let you show love for the important people in your life, but you can also surround beloved photos with your own creative touches—adding an embellishment here, a Designer Series Paper layer there—until you feel that you’ve honoured your loved one and created a work of art at the same time. I think this Always Together page would be a treasured gift—one to copy, frame, and share with family or friends!

Add something special to the project by inking up the True Love Designer Series Paper background layers.  Give the flowers’ rich colour... First, colour the images with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, then add a blush of colour on top using the dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend marker. ~ Add a bit more depth by adhering a Vellum Cardstock layer behind the photo, then make the page pop with a sprinkling of Artistry Blooms Sequins.

And let’s not forget that beautiful “Always” sentiment! Stamp with VersaMark ink on Bumblebee Cardstock and heat emboss using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

What can you do with all your boxes of photos gathering dust on the shelf? We challenge you to keep the memories fresh, pull out your papercrafting supplies, and start making a few precious scrapbook pages today. You’ll be glad you did!

Happy Easter ...

Blossom and chocolate in the trees... what a perfect world that would be! 

Have a very Happy Easter... Being with who you are with... Doing what you can do... Come sun, snow or rain (we may get all 3!!) 

Enjoy... Especially those of you that are lucky enough to get some crafty time too!
