CONTINUING WITH THE 'TICKET TO RIDE' THEME.....

I have a beautiful assortment of pretties to show you tonight from the CI 'Ticket to Ride' theme, which started at the beginning of the month on Hochanda.  Love these makes by the Teamies, and a few by moi....

This is a glorious scene by a master teamie scene maker Sandra, and oh la la, very romantic!....


 Followed by another romantic beauty by Chris.....


I also played with the Eiffel Tower on this one....


This balloon beauty is by Helen...


Two more balloons by yours truly on Malcolm's photographic backgrounds...



Here we have a very cool ship in full sail by Sylvie...


And finally here are three more, one by Flo sporting those iconic buildings and more, one by me, and the last beauty by a lovely lady called Lisa Vipas - gorgeous colours....




Focal stamps featuring in the above are CI-538, Eiffel Tower,  CI-535, Fly with Me, CI-537, Icons of the World, CI-295, Voyage of Discovery, and CI-404, Chunky Steam Train Tag.

Thanks for reading.

WITH THANKS....

Thank you to everyone who supported our recent Hochanda shows, they were great fun and we have been very busy getting the orders picked, packed and posted.  I hope you enjoyed watching, and maybe even learnt a trick or two, and many thanks to Lesley as well, it's great working with her and I'm sure her input adds a lot to your viewing experience.  We are now working to get the stamps onto our website in the unmounted variety, plus the A4 background papers, and Malcolm's yummy background paper photos, which to my mind completed the collection very nicely.  All should be up and available very soon.

Teamie Sally has asked if I could put the image of the horizontal layer building demo piece on social media so you can see it again, and therefore here it is, in stages, along with a few of the other images of mine...









Thanks all,
Back soon,

p.s. Don't forget we have a new Facebook Group, which you will find HERE, and there is currently a 'Travel' Challenge running on there, so do join in if you can.

HOCHANDA, HERE WE COME AGAIN..

Just in the process of putting everything together for our next trip to Oundle and the Hochanda studios, so my hall is jam packed full of boxes.  Always a worry that I forget something vital.  Travelling down with Lesley on Monday morning and will be setting up late afternoon.  Hopefully can show you pictures of the set up before we go on air.  The teamie makes are absolutely stunning and we aim to give away a little bit of arty craft on the shows.  If you, like me, love Malcolm's photos then do look out for a new bit of stash, which work beautifully with the travel theme around which the shows are based.  Here are some sneakies you may have seen and some you may not have seen...











Image snippets above from whole makes by Isa, Sylvie, Helen, Chris, Sandra, and moi.  Lots more gorgeousness to reveal on the shows, which are on Tuesday, 4th Feb at 10am and 2pm.  Lesley has Chocolate Baroque shows at 8am and 12pm as well, so it will certainly be a busy day.

It's great when our stamps work together, and these certainly seem to, it's nice to be able to build up little scenes with them all, and I have had a whale of a time getting inky and playing nicely with them.  Do join us, can't wait!

Another little bit of news is that Helen, Sandra, Flo and Sylvie each have stunning projects in the newly released Craft Stamper, so do look out for it in the shops - so inspiring!

Thanks for visiting our blog,
