A LITTLE BIT OF EASTER JOY.....

A very quick post from me tonight, just wanting to show you a couple of gorgeous Easter themed cards by lovely Joanna, and another couple of ceramic (bisque) items - painted money boxes, by myself.

Here are the cards....

I absolutely adore these cards, with the flowers and the string and the coloured tissue, old papers, stamping and lace.  Note the wording Joanna has managed to incorporate with 'Easter Eggs' from an old dictionary or similar.  Lovely colours too!!

The new stamps from CI-467 (note to self - must remember to take off the special offer on the newest stamps - tomorrow) appear on her cards, as well as the cute robin from CI-456.

Here are my money boxes.  The bisque I bought in for a class I ran last week, and is a follow on from the vase I decorated from the idea initiated originally by Helen (I have a few 'blank' money boxes left to sell if anyone wants one - let me know)....

The cottage is from CI-460, and the crackle is from an old favourite CI-116.

I really enjoy decorating the bisque - such fun!  CI-415 is the 'Beyond the Picket Fence' stamp that has been used on this second money box.

Thanks for your viewing, and for leaving your lovely comments if you have time..

Back soon,

COCO IS AHEAD OF THE GAME, PLUS A NEW STAMP GIVEAWAY....

This post might be a bit unseasonal (especially when the sun is shining like today), however Coco, one of our great teamies, has made a series of cards all in a similar way, and they are very lovely.  She has also given me some step by step photos, so you can see the method behind the makes.  So maybe you might want to start your Christmas cards early - lol, and if so then this would be the post for you!! 

Secondly we have also just brought out some brand new stamps, which you will find on special opening offer Here, and if you would like to acquire a set of these little stunners for free then please leave a comment on this post, so that we can randomly pick one of you to send them out to poste haste.  I will explore the new stuff a bit more as well in the next post, but meanwhile do leave your comment to be in with a chance of winning.

Here are Coco's cool winter makes.....

She has used an assortment of stamps here including images from CI-256, CI-257
CI-460, CI-450, and here are the steps taken to create the makes....

HAPPINESS IS HOCHANDA....

You may have seen the shows, or read on Facebook, that we had 3 TV shows on Hochanda yesterday, with Lesley Wharton (Chocolate Baroque) doing wonderful things with a selection of CI products.  The reaction to the shows was amazing and incredible, and we are so grateful to Lesley and also her husband David (who was helping Malcolm with sorting out the orders back at home - and there were a lot to sort out!!). Also thanks to the lovely people at Hochanda for making us so very welcome.

I am going to post just a few of the fabulous makes by the CI teamies below, that featured on the shows, and helped so much to show off the products.  Makes here tonight are by Coco, Helen and Flo, with more to follow...

Do leave a comment if you saw the shows, or have been inspired by the makes.

Many thanks,

Jean x
