NICE BIT OF BLOG CANDY FOR YOU!

Its quite a while since I offered some Crafty Individuals blog candy on the blog, so we put together a nice package for you yesterday - Malcolm photographed it and here it is:

A lovely assortment including 5 stamps (3 brand new release ones), some pearls and gems (and we all use those now don't we?!), a couple of background books, some tags, some Tando hearts and a Tando frame, and 3 Glossy sheets.  All very useful stuff!

If you are a blog follower please take time to display the above image on your blog with a link to this post and then leave a comment below before next Tuesday (as I'm away visiting a friend for a few days until then), and we will randomly pick a winner from the list. 

Thank you to all who regularly leave comments and as a little reward, which we also do randomly, from time to time, we would like to send Nefertiti and Gio (both kindly commented on the last post) a couple of the new stamps each.  If you could email us at info@craftyindividuals.co.uk ladies, with your address, we will pop them in the post to you.

Now on with the crafting....

A lady called Debbie Moon sent us an email with some great seaside tags attached that she had made, and they are such fun that I thought you might all like to see them.  Debbie's work can be found at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=44977.  Debbie used our wooden trays/shadowboxes along with CI-278 plus, to create these beauties.

Me likey!

Zuzu has made a very cool pie shaped box using CI-305 and CI-336 -

Great fun Z!

Sue who is still having great troubles loading stuff on to her blog has sent over quite a few lovely images to us, and I adore this frame below, where she has used some of the backgrounds she created previously (check out my last post) to great effect:

You will get a better view of this if you click on the image (I hope) - tall images definitely work better on blogger than wide ones!  Sue has also used images from our Mini Image Books in this piece.

I promised to show you some of the demo pieces I had fun with at The Craft Barn Extravaganza recently (lots of others were given away at the time) - just bits and bobs transferred using lovely TAP onto fabric mostly, but I also had great results transferring onto mulberry tissue (and we all have some of that lurking around now don't we?!).  Give it a try its fun!

Isabelle Norris has also sent a few card images over that she has made and I particularly love this one using our cheeky seagull CI-344 -

And I still have several lovely Lynne projects in waiting to show you one of which is below, and is now gracing my kitchen wall (many thanks Lynne), and it looks even better in real life.

Actually I still have a Lynne project from Christmas last still gracing my mantelpiece - complete with lovely Rudolph, on display.  A bit out of season, but I do get very fond of my bits and pieces adorning my walls and surfaces and am loathe to remove them.  Anyway the project above was made with a recycled bargain Lynne picked up as the background, plus items from CI-348 as embellishments.

I have had this little beauty below waiting to publish for a little while, with thanks to Paula - mmm nice!

Quite a few CI items going on here.  There is an image from one of our glossy sheets, plus a mini tag from another Glossy Sheet.  And along with other CI stamps Paula has used CI-342 on the fabric background.

And I will finish off tonight by showing you a card I made by transferring the cute elephants from CI-351 onto mulberry tissue, using TAP, as mentioned above.  Thought this would make a very nice card for a baby or a small child in particular.

That's me done for tonight.  Hope you have enjoyed the little display?!  Don't forget to post the giveaway at the top on your blog, and leave a comment if you are a follower.  Thanks all.
