A GLORIOUS GIVEAWAY, AND SOME HOUSES OF HAPPINESS...

We haven't had a giveaway, or blog candy offering for some time now, so I thought I would remedy that tonight.  Therefore I have two giveaways to share with you tonight, which are a gift of £25 worth of CI's own products of your choice from our website at: www.craftyindividuals.co.uk (that's your own choice of any of our stamps, paper products, dies or masks to a value of £25 or thereabouts).  All you need to do is become a blog follower (if you aren't already) and to leave a nice comment at the end of this post, and we will randomly pick two winners in about 5 days time.  The winners can then choose their products, which we will also post to them for free.

Thanks to all of you who regularly post nice comments and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the recent Hochanda shows.  We do have some more in the pipeline, although we can't do them as often as we might like, due to the amount of preparation involved, but we do want to do them fairly regularly.  Thanks for the other suggestions too, we must put together some more 'how to' videos on YouTube as well.

My piccies tonight are again from the shows, and are the stunning makes from Flo, using the houses A4 die cut sheets.  Lovely colours and ephemera on these....







.....and you can see how adaptable these sturdy little houses are, from the makes we have put together, along with images from our People & Places book.

Thanks for looking us up today, and don't forget to leave that winning comment.

Back soon,

Jean x

    Incredible Art Work from an incredible lady.
    Florence has this way of looking at something and instantly coming up with a plan. She's amazing. As are the products you sell.

    LOVE your stamps and have some in my 'collection', which I use regularly. So delightful to use as they're so easy to get good results from. Fabulous works of heart.

    I haven't entered one of your give-aways before so I hope that you don't mind me jumping in for the first time. Thank you so much for the enjoyment of being included.
    Regards and hugs ~ Cobs. x

    Flo has created another amazing compilation of craft home decor pieces. Love all them very much, expecially the last one, just adorable! The first and the second one are perfect as little Christmas gifts. I enjoyed reading all the process on her blog, too! Very inspiring works as always, thank you!
    Thanks also for the chance in the giveway!

    Enjoyed the shows and I've used CI products of one sort or another for many years - reminds me that I should dig out some of my older stamps and give them a well deserved inking. I think I'm a follower from way back.

    I love those little houses. I have been absent from papercrafting for too long now, having a 5 year old to stay will make me crack on with the craft room tidy up and so I might get to play once again.
