........thought I had better log in with a little post. Malcolm and I will be away for a week - however there will still be ladies here eagerly waiting for your orders, and whisking them off in the post as usual - so no problems on that score then!
We had a lovely show in Port Sunlight last weekend, and it was really great to meet all of you who came over to our stand and said hello. This was one of our decorated Christmas Tags that I further embellished with our new and very popular 'Rudolph' stamp CI-332:
I cut and overlapped parts of the tag around the stamp image, embellished further, and layered the tag onto two complimentary pieces of coloured card.
And the image below is of a tag that has become another one of those little handmade Christmas gifts that I am working on. I used another tag (the same design as the first one) to cover a little 'cheap' notepad - the side view shows the structure better - and then I glued the covered notepad to the lower front of the first tag. A cardboard strut back was added so that the project can stand alone - a useful present for a friend!
I'm sure you get the idea!
More gift ideas still to follow.
I also want to show you tonight some lovely sample projects by Lisa and Elaine of Destination Art. Lisa and Elaine are retailers in Australia who work with and sell our products - so very pretty! Do check out their blog and shop!
And ....
Finally tonight I just must show you a couple of beautiful card images sent over to me by lovely Lynne of Adorn - so very feminine as always:
In this one Lynne has used our new Shades of Summer Background Book, plus rubber stamps CI-108 and CI-329.
Then .....
Again with the new background book and stamp CI-329, plus another new stamp CI-331.
To finish tonight just a little reminder about the current CI CHALLENGE - 'Winged Things' which is attracting some very crafty and individual creations this month. There are still 13 days to go to get your 'winged' projects linked in - so get those stamps and papers out and join in with the fun!
Hoping to get some great photos, ideas and stuff in Seville (and a bit of warmth too perhaps) - back with you soon.

Hi Jean
The new tags look very beautiful, must take a peek.
Great idea of converting the tag into a gift, in fact that is very clever.
Thanks for that link, off to visit those girls.
Enjoy your trip.
Wishes
Lynne
