Christmas Event

There are just a few spaces left at the Craftwork Cards Christmas Event.

This is going to be a wonderful day full of crafting fun, its on Saturday 5th December at The Village Hotel, South Leeds (a beautiful hotel) and starts at 9am through to 5pm.

In the morning we will be creating cards (not Christmas) using all the beautiful new products about to be launched on the website, be sure to take a look tomorrow!!!

You can then indulge yourself in a gorgeous 3 course carvery Christmas lunch with all the trimmings.

The afternoon is going to be brilliant and I so want to make what you are making for me as its Tote-tastic!!

So if you would like to join this fabulous day, just click here to see more details and to book your seat!

Heres a card to enjoy too!



Using the Touch of Glamour stamp set, I created a background and then stamped a chandelier onto a scallop oval.



Inside the card I attached 2 elegant card wraps, joined together top and bottom so that it created a pocket to slide a black tag into. Would be a good way to give money or a gift voucher too.

I told you!

I did tell you that it would not last!! But I do have an excuse as to why I have not posted any cards yet, I was away at Dawn Bibby's residential weekend from Friday through to Sunday night.


Travelled home on Sunday, bought a lady called Denise home with me as she had broken her arm (not at the weekend before when she was on holiday) and she was going home on the train - so I offered her a lift. It was great for me too as it was someone to keep me company and talk to me all the way home. It was lovely we talked constantly about all sorts of things.

We set off home at 6pm, travelled about 30 miles and hit a huge traffic jam - we did 2 miles in an hour and a half! I finally got home at 20 to 1 on Monday morning! I was absolutely shattered.



The weekend was great 72 crafters, Dawn really knows how to work them - they were two fun filled days full of lovely projects to make. There was a lovely dinner on Saturday night and one of the girls from Dawn's shop sung a song that she had written about all the staff - it was just brilliant. Well done Jackie you are a very talented lady. There was a disco and lots of people got dancing, including Dawn and Craig from QVC who made a guest appearance on Saturday and stayed until Sunday night. He was great fun and spent so much time with every single person on the weekend.

On Sunday they visited the shop where some of us were demoing and then it was back to the hotel, a quick lunch and then on with the make n take and tips and techniques tables. People went from table to table learning new things and making lovely projects.



Everyone had a great time.



Because I have been away I had not been able to add the comments to the blog, which is why so many people think they were the first to comment re the blog candy. I will pull a winner next Tuesday the 1st December so you still have time to leave some comments.

I will sort out some cards and get posting again very soon, hopefully tomorrow.

Thank you for the lovely comments that have been left so far.

Colour-Me 7

Last of my Colour-Me ideas today, and yes I managed to post a card everyday, I hope you are all impressed!! You need to leave me comments and let me know which is your favourite card!

The Colour-Me owls have my attention today, coloured with Copic markers and layered onto Monochromagic papers. I coloured the In Circle message to match and have decorated the owls with glitter glue, but it doesnt show.



Change the colour of the owls to pink, purple, orange, red, green whatever you want to suit the lucky person receiving the card.

Hope you have enjoyed another full week of card ideas!

Colour-Me 6

This card uses the Colour-Me Here Come the Girls which are all die cut (so much easier than cutting them out).

Coloured with Copic markers and layered onto card that has been covered in Monochromagic papers. Coloured the white daisy one in the centre, added a beautiful butterfly and my favourint In Circle messages.

Colour-Me 5

Using our new Birthday Damask design by Paula Pascual, comes foiled in black onto shimmer white cardstock.

I have added colour to me elements using Copic markers, added a Best of British Lots of Dots background and one of my beautiful butterflies.



I love the simplicity of this card.

Dawn's for the Weekend

Im off to Dawn Bibby's for her residential weekend in the morning.

I have not been before, not even to Dawn's shop so that will be really good to see.

Im helping on Saturday and then demoing Craftwork Cards products at the shop Sunday morning and doing a Make and Take at the residential weekend in the afternoon.

My good friend Paula Pascual is going to be there too, which will be lovely as its ages since I saw her and we are both staying at Dawn's house so I get to meet the dogs and goats too!

Hope to see lots of you at the shop, have a great weekend.
