Hope you are all enjoying a little bit of sunshine today - so lovely after all that rain! Malcolm's eyesight is coming back a bit at a time, so that's fantastic news. However I'm full of cold, which is a bit miserable, so here are some new images and projects hopefully to add a little more sunshine and brightness in our lives, and cheer me up tonight!
Firstly I want to let you know that we have some new bits and pieces in our 'Must Haves' section on the website including some gorgeous laser cut frames by Aspire Crafts and this is what I did with the Oval Frame and a 6 inch square canvas...
As well as the oval frame I used parts of CI-384 (lighthouse and seagulls) in my frame and on my canvas. I also used the technique I mentioned previously, taught by Hels Sheridan, to decorate the background of the canvas with squares and oblongs of cream card, rubber stamped with a variety of CI stamps, such as CI-278 and CI-294. To colour I used Distress Ink pads, and a soft brush, plus acrylic paint on the frame and the sides of the canvas, and all highlighted with silver embossing powder to finish.
I decorated another canvas with the Oblong Dekro Frame, but I can only show you a sneaky peek of this one as it is going off to Craft Stamper very soon for publishing as a Summer magazine project..
In addition to the above there are some other packs of mounts - such as hearts and banners, now in stock too...
Whilst on the subject of 'new' I have some cheery images by the Team featuring our newest stamps. The following lovelies are by Brenda..
The above feature the new telephone chunky tag, and the steam train chunky tag, plus the 'Wishes' stamp and then some useful bits and bobs from CI-307.
And the tag below has the new chunky car tag and the medieval manuscript on board..
Effie was delighted to receive the steam train chunky tag stamp in the mail recently as she was in the process of designing for a 'Harry Potter' themed wedding at the time...
And Coco had a play with the newbies too..
As did Lucy...
(nice rusty cogs Lucy!)
And Gio..
All very creative indeed ladies!
Well I hope the above bits of gorgeousness added to the sunshine of your day today. Still more to come regarding the latest stamps very soon,
Bye for now,

Fabulous projects Jean. I'm very impressed with the frames and now I'm off to have a look. The new stamps look great too. Glad to hear that Malcolms eyesight is improving too. Hope your cold gets better soon.

These new stamps are gorgeous and your dt have done you proud. I especially like the old telephone as my best friends family had one for many years. Good to hear your husband is improving. X
fabulous new goodies and I love what the DT have been doing with those new stamps - the telephone has now become a must have for next month! Brilliant . So glad to hear that Malcolm's eyesight is coming back too - oh and I'm not sure if I remembered to email you to let you know that my stamp arrived from my win on the last challenge - I'm using it to make my mums mothers day card! Thanks so much! Hugs Rachel xx

Beautiful new frames! And those stamps are must-haves! I love what your DT has created with those, especially the phone, train, & car. My mind is buzzing with inspiration!
So sorry about the cold (it's a common word that just doesn't do justice to the totally miserable feeling), but with Malcolm's eyesight returning maybe he'll be a sweetie & bring you a nice warm tea!

Hi! I love the vintage look of your stamps, and I have so many sentiment stamps that coordinate well with your new travel stamps...so I would love to be in with a chance to win them! Keep up the beautiful artwork! It makes for a beautiful but easy card! Best wishes, Christine Nicholson
Gosh, what a post! Glad Malcolm is getting better. Love those new frames and also that background technique you used on the lighthouse card. Gorgeous. Ooh, so lovely to see the new stamps being used by the DT in so many lovely ways. I really love the train. And the car and phone. Oh yes Brenda, how come wrong numbers are never busy? Thanks for the laugh. Have a great evening everyone. Hugs
The new must haves really are 'Must Haves'. The frames look great and funnily enough I've needed frames like these recently. The tags are lovely and the new images really lend themselves to brown backgrounds. I hope Malcolm continues to improve.
