One of those days

I Just seem to have had one of those days today - where time seems to get sucked into a vortex and just disappears before my eyes. I just wish that I had more hours in the day!!!

Have been busy creating classes for the new scheudle and finally have some ready to share...




Seems wierd to be doing Xmas photos but I seem to have plenty of them to work with -besides Christmas in July seems as good a class theme as any! I really love this range of papers from Teresa Collins lots of clean lines!!!!

Have more to share soon - just as soon as I can get them photographed!
in the meantime check out the sneak peeks of the new SSM kits.

More Cosmo Cricket Love

It would come as no surprise to most people that I am a Cosmo Cricket fan! Their paper collections usually make me laugh out loud! Team that with bright and funky designs and you have one happy scrapper!

Cosmo Cricket are currently looking for new people to join their design team - can you imagine how fabulous that would be1!. Now whilst I blog far too randomly to be a contender I thoguth I would run a bit of a Cosmo focus on the blog to highlight just how great their ranges are!! If you are interested in applying for a DT role you definitely should drop by the blog... http://cosmocricket.typepad.com/cosmo_cricket/

Whilst you are there check out the new Girl Friday fabric...... am already wondering if it is possible to get this in!!!

So in here is the first in my I Cosmo series: Party Page - which I have just finished teaching at Stamp and Scrapbook Madness

Well suffice to say that my New Year's resolution has well and trully bombed. Two blogs this year isn't exactly what I call much of an achievement. But somehow there never seem enough hours in the day - particularly for the things I would LIKE to do not HAVE to do!

I would love to spend more time here, creating a journal of our everyday...but I just never manage to get here!

Well I will persist in attempting to keep this going by posting a couple of recent projects. All of course are done for the shop....I look forward to creating something soon that isn't for a class or kit - just because! I absolutely heart Cosmo Cricket....I thougth Girl Friday was going to be my favourite CHA release.... but I was wrong - snorkel wins hands down!!!

New Years Resolution already in danger

Well my New Year's resolution was to blog more. Well here we are at Jan 11 and this is my first post for the year. Figured if I didn't write soon I would be in danger of breaking the resolution before I even started!!!

Things are as always busy hectic and mad - but that really is situation normal.

Thought I would post some pics I have for a upcoming class at the shop - using a resist technique with the cuttlebug. I have to admit that I wasn't the brains behind this technique. For that you have to thank Melstampz . Note the cuttlebug folder image on the cardstock minus the embossing:

I have also been stalking all the paper companies out there looking for some CHA sneak peeks. I have posted a huge list on the new forums on the website but so far I am loving quite a bit of the My Minds Eye ranges particularly:

Will try and post again tomorrow with some more sneaks

Christmas Cards and Handbags

I have been sorting through my photos lately and have found some cards that I haven't shared that I will post over the next few days. This is one of my favourites - I have recently done some playing with the Stamps by Judith interactive stamps and am surprised by how easy they are to use. I just wish I had time to get to know my new camera properly so I could finally start posting some decent pics!

The other thing I want to share is the chance to win a free handbag! Go to www.handbagplanet.com and check out their gorgeous bags and go into the draw to win one. My pick is number 14!

Well somehow I manged to find time for some challenges over the weekend for World Cardmaking day. I really should have been designing some new classes, but enjoyed procrastinating on something random

The first card is for the Zest challenge - a Spring themed card. This is actually three cards in one as the spinner turns to reveal the sentiment; Bloom and Grow. I used the Coluzzle spinner card template to make the card and SEI patterned paper

The second card is for the OBP challenge and it features my favourite theme at the moment - Cupcakes! The cupcakes are from a Stampendous Set - My Little Cupcake.

Apologies for the appalling photography, but it is now late - the lighting is poor and I am now too tired to play around with them any longer.

Hope you had a good weekend

Figs

I am trying to make a concerted effort to keep this little space a little more up to date. Life just seems to be so busy these days.

I finally spent some time scrapping the other day - and came up with this using one of my favourite paper lines at the moment - Jack's World by Cosmo Cricket.

I really need to spend more time getting to know my camera as well as photoshop which is is sitting idle on my computer until I find enough time to work out how to use it. Then finally I might be able to post some decent pictures of my layouts!

Till next time
