Sue saw this app & now we both have it :) isn't it fab!
I foresee a bit of playing...
I was looking at an informative thread on Two Peas the other day about photo apps people use. Well I already have a few that I really like - Instagram my default quick choice, then PicTapGo as I already have RadLab so like the familiarity and features, Pic Stitch for collages, and Hipstamatic th...
Gorgeous card Natty, wedding in Poland.....exciting :)
Catching up
I'm a bit late to the party sharing my card for Friday's Daring Cardmakers dare. This week Rein set us the task of featuring locks and keys on our cards. Well I had the perfect project in mind, I just didn't manage to execute it until the weekend. ;) And the project? Well this lovely item arrive...
It's lovely Nat, can't beat a bit of BG
Fussy cutting anyone?
Anyone who has seen my cards will know that I don't really do fussy cutting - I tend to leave that look to dies or ready-cut embellishments. ;) But this week on the DCM blog the lovely Jo Kill has set us the challenge to feature fussy cutting in our cards, either as a background element or an em...
Looks fab Jane, can't wait to see it in real life :)
Altering door knobs - instructions
After painting my dresser I wanted to replace the knobs with some of the 7 Gypsies ones but they are £4 each and I needed ten. I just couldn't justify another £40 on top of the cost of the paint I used. I found some cream porcelain knobs at The Range for £1 each and they looked fine. I was going...
Looking good Nat :) like the doily & the new pinking dies, yum :)
The new toys...
There's nothing like using all your new stash in one project and revitalising the sadly lacking creative mojo! LOL I had the perfect excuse to crack it open with this week's dare for the DCM blog - Keilly has set us the challenge to make a card featuring fabric. Well, this is what I came up with...
They have lovely deck chair fabric at RE, you need to come up & get some :)
and for my next project...
I bought this old deck chair last autumn for £9, I thought it would be lovely to take to the beach or use in the garden. It's very tatty so I am going to revamp it. I think I will paint the frame a chalky vintage white and maybe distress it a bit. I'll replace the fabric with something from Ca...
I once had a girl come to a star book workshop who had never used a trimmer before or done any other crafts & she couldn't read!!! nightmare! I love the Home cushion. I am really feeling it not being at the shop with all the new arrivals :(
So much to do!
There have been lots of deliveries in at Kate's shop this week, we all went up to the trade show at the NEC to place some orders. Kate had already ordered a lot of scrapping supplies so we had more time to look at other crafts. It was fatal! We love papercrafts and altered art but most of us hav...
Love the banner, really cool :)
After much nagging...
from friends and family I have updated my blog and promised to keep it up to date. I'm not going to do a huge catch up post, suffice to say we are all well, loving life and looking forward to the second year in our new home. My first WI craft evening was a huge success, you can read about it on ...
This card came to me for my Valentines birthday, how lucky am I ? Thanks Natty xxx
52 Cards challenge - Week 7
This week's prompt for the 52 Cards challenge is a colour prompt. Here's your inspiration for our colour combo: Cool pastels and off-white greys. For my card I tried a technique I have been wanting to try for a while, and that's sewn dimensional hearts: Paper: PTI, October Afternoon, Crate P...
Like the look of those! do I need them too?
Mmm an inky delight
There are some new additions to my ink drawer... A handful of the new Prima chalk ink edgers. The colours really appealed to me - especially the beige and light grey shades as my PTI tea duo inks are definitely at the end of their life. :o( So I have been looking for chalk ink alternatives and...
Hope the trimmer works out for you Nat :) I love mine & it cuts straight too. Must add Paula Cole to my ipod touch too so I can sing along in the car! When I find the CD, it seems to have disappeared....hubby's car maybe?
Rediscoveries, new discoveries, who knew?
Well, I can't believe it's already after 3 in the afternoon... I think my delayed time clock has a lot to do with staying up until 2 in the morning after getting in from the late night crop and being too awake for bed. Had a crop - I didn't exactly make progress with my current mini album. But I...
I loved my card Nat :) Thank you xxx Slippery slope with the Distress pads! You will NEED them all now!
Steampunked!
Well, this week's dare over on the DCM blog comes from the lovely Rein and it's to make a card in the Steampunk style. Now I must admit altered art and all things collagey is something I have shied away from, as those who are really fab at it make it look so easy, when in reality I find it prett...
You made me cry Jane, I love that photo....Happy Birthday Grandaddy xxx

Glad to hear you are almost moved in, so when is the housewarming???? BTW the Vanilla Vodka is amazing, thank you ;) Gillx
I wish I could stay in bed....
I ache all over from two days of constant running up and down stairs, lugging boxes to and from boots, and general moving strain! LOL It has seriously beaten the stairmaster at the gym for post-workout aching. So, the update so far is that my stash has been moved over - two boot fulls... and has...
Fab photos Jane, gorgeous, love the reflections.
spring arrived
At last the weather has been warm(ish) and sunny(ish) enough to enjoy some days out. Determined to use my new National Trust membership we visited Scotney Castle on Sunday. Georgina did a very good impression of bored teenager but despite that she managed to smile on a few photographs and never ...

Lovely knitting needles you need to send them to me at least I can knit ;) I need one of those old bobbins too! Who gave you the mushy pills?
great friends
I am so lucky to have some great friends, always there for me when I need them and fun to be with too. I wouldn't be without CJ, Helen and Kate, truly the best friends a girl could wish for. Cheryl drops everything to do me a favour, nags me until she is blue in the face but always forgives me. ...
