Sunday night ... catch up!

 

Here we are again, it's Sunday night, the X-Factor is on and I CANT just sit and watch it!  Is anyone else like that?  Always needing to be doing something else while watching TV?

 

Anyway, here are some of my recent makes:

 

 

 I learnt how to make these fab tea light cards at a Hougie workshop with Kay Rutter.  The drawer contains 4 tea lights.

 

 I designed a wedge shaped envelope to fit the tea light card perfectly.

 

 

 

 

Well, I'm afraid that's all from me tonight.  Hope you've had a lovely weekend.  I'm back to work on Thursday ... cant believe where SIX weeks have gone!!!

Hugs xx

 



My 400th Post!!

400 Posts!! Crikey ... that's a lot of waffling!!

 

Just popped by to share a card I made a while ago.  I cut the ballerina on my Cameo and mounted her onto a beautiful floral oval:

 

 

I printed the sentiment and cut it with a smaller floral oval die.  The finishing touches are a rolled ribbon-rose and some bling.

 

I had a very busy day yesterday - a 6 hour workshop with the lovely Kay Rutter from Hougie Crafts and 2 hours website training in the evening!  Phew!

 

I had a fab day and learnt some great techniques from Kay, along with some confidence in using my Hougie!

 

The downside is that I discovered my Hougie board is a FAKE!!  I'm so upset!  I bought the board in good faith from Carole's Crafts in Chippenham and it turns out that it's a copy.  I would never have found this out if I hadn't done the workshop yesterday. 

It turns out that there are quite a few Carole's Crafts around the country and the owner has earned the nickname "Mr Xerox" because he copies so many products.

Trading Standards are aware of what he is doing and he has been to court for counterfeit products but still he is continuing this practise. Stay away from his shops!!

 

Ok, rant over!!  Hope you're all having a fab week xx
