Studio Calico is on the way...

Just had an e-mail to say that the January kit is on the way - can't wait to play!



Here's the shop if you want to play too - still great value despite the exchange rate:

Busy-ness...

A selection of cards...

One of my team left to have a baby and liked penguins!




A funky card using a Studio Calico stamp, a handmade button, rub ones, and patterned paper.




Love this cute design - I think the monster was a template in a magazine and I added some fab striped paper from my Studio Calico kit.




Sometimes simple says it all - rubber stamp, scalloped punch, inked paper and a few bits of bling...




I love this birdie stamp, coupled with an inked chipboard heart with crackle glossy accents - simplicity.




A work colleague reached a half century...




My favourite maze book - combination of Love, Elsie papers, lots of ribbon, stamps, patterned paper and hand doodling - perfect to lose yourself in when making!

















New Projects

A few new projects to share...

A present for my Gran who went to the Grand National earlier in the year for a birthday treat.





This was a card and matching maze book I made for a freind who had a baby boy.






A couple of {Thank You} cards:

Another Halloween Project...

While I'm on a roll, this is a project made last year for a friend's daughter...









Halloween Mini Book

Every year, we have a Halloween party with the neighbours (forget that the youngest of us is now 37!) which usually results in the overuse of face paints and dodgy stories whilst huddled round a bar-be-que on a wet night!

I wanted to take a present for Maria to say thank you so I used last week's freebie from here:

and made a mini book. Papers are from K&Co and the shapes are ones I've downloaded for my Craft Robo from UKS over the years. Used the trusty BIA to bind.

















Oh, and my Studio Calico kit arrived Friday - it's rather fab!

Christmas Stuff

Been off work today with the lurgi so been making a few bits to prevent rotting my brain with daytime TV!

Found some cheap notebooks in Tesco a few weeks ago and used some Sweet Berry paper and ribbons to jazz it up:


Been playing with my BIA and the odd bits of wire I seem to get left with. Will probably dress these up with ribbon and use these for Christmas presents:


Also been making tags with this beautiful butterfly stamp from my August Studio Calico kit:


Giveaway:
One of my fellow team mates on UKS has made the most wonderful stationery set and she's giving it away too:
