NEW TEAMIE IN OUR MIDST....

We are delighted to tell you we have a new CI Teamie on board - the very talented lady that is Lynne Kirton!   I am going to share just a few of Lynne's makes tonight, and we just can't wait to see what she gets up to with CI goodies in the future - yay, go girl go!

Lynne is also very good with the camera, and loves all things wonderfully weathered too, so look out for her background papers here and in the future.  This is Lynne's 'About Me' paragraph on her blog.....

'Retired primary school music specialist, nature lover, addicted to rubber stamping & papercrafts, also into photography & playing my bowed psaltery.'

This is the link to Lynne's blog where you will see much more...

and here are some images of Lynne's work to wet your appetite - nice and bright and colourful, just how we like it...

SATURDAY IS HOCHANDA DAY ....

Two more sleeps to go and we will be at the Hochanda studios.  Setting off on our way at lunchtime tomorrow, and the CI shows on Saturday, 5th December, will be at 7am and 1pm.  There will be new stamps (ready mounted on cling - just for Hochanda) and new papers, and new configurations and bundles, including a real Christmas bargain bundle.  Do tune in and keep me company, I would so love to have you with me, and there will be new demos and lots of samples by our lovely teamies (still waiting for several of their samples to arrive - post is very erratic just now - so keep your fingers crossed for us).  Travelling down just with Malcolm, as rules are strict at Hochanda, however Lesley (Chocolate Baroque) will be doing shows too at 11am and 3pm.  So a good day of creative crafting for you ahead.

Here are some snippets of loveliness to get us all in the mood, by Flo, Sylvie, Sandra, Sally, Helen, Sharron (the artist herself) and myself:

Oh my goodness - love them all!

See you on Saturday early a.m.

Back soon,

Jean xx

AN ASSORTMENT TONIGHT ....

Way past time for another little blog post!  So I have a bit of an assortment to show you here tonight.  We released our new stamps on Hochanda: landscapes put together for us by our own teamie Sandra, and I'm very pleased to say that you loved them as much as we do.  Here are a couple in their entirety...

Here is another by clever Sandra...

And one by clever Helen too..

I had a bit of a Play session Live earlier this week with alcohol inks and the new stamps (2.30pm on Wednesdays is my regular Live slot on our public Facebook page - do join me then)....

One of my earlier demos was based on a lovely card design by Lesley using one of Sharron's designs...

This is my take on it using a different stamp of ours.....

Great fun to make!

And finally here are a couple more cards from me using stamps, alcohol inks and our new sets of Wonderfully Weathered papers...

Thanks for looking

Back soon,
