WE HAVE TWO BLOG CANDY WINNERS TONIGHT....

Thanks to everyone who left a comment on our last post, we wish we could reward you all.  However we do have two random 'out of the hat' numbers for the blog candy winners, which are numbers 1 and 19.

Comment numbers 1 and 19 happen to be....
LAINE, and CRAFTYTROG,
who will need to email us please at: info@craftyindividuals.co.uk with your addresses so that we can send you your new stamps poste haste.

I now have a few card makes with one of the new stamps featuring those cute little polar bears...
One from me..

Two beauties from Coco..

Another lovely by Daniele...

And a final colourfully creative one from Sylvie...

All delightfully very different, I hope you agree!

Other news :- Teamie Coco is having a little break from her teamie duties for a year or so as she is a busy bee in her other roles as mother, wife and crafty teacher, but I'm sure that isn't the last we will see from her yet - we thank her and wish her lots of happiness and success.  Another teamie is retiring, due to other commitments taking over in life big time, and that is Laury. Again our thanks and good wishes go with you too.  As a result we do have a need for a couple of new willing and able lovelies to join us, therefore if any of you crafters out there would like to join us as a teamie, maybe you could email us with some pics of your crafty samples made with our stamps, with a link to your blogs, and we could then have a look at your work and a chat.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone,
Back soon,

STILL PLAYING CATCH UP...

Hello Crafters

As the title suggests I am still indeed trying to catch up with myself so I can properly show you some of the cards we took on the last Hochanda programme, along with other new makes sent to me by the team, and also sort out new makes with new stamps soon to be released, as well as getting ready for the next Hochanda show on 1st December - my computer desktop is a proper jumble - bit like the stuff inside my head too I suspect!

So here I have three cards by Helen, the first one a repeat of our last Facebook image - love it, so pretty...

Plus two other beauties...

Stamps featured here are CI-395 and CI-423.

Next I have two lovely bookmarks by Laury featuring  two halves of CI-480.

Plus a rather nice card too...

 With a delightful card by Flo to follow, again featuring CI-423...

Here I have three cards in similar colour schemes by Helen, Laurence and Coco - in shades of blue - a favourite colour of mine...

Stamps featured in these include CI-473, CI-464, CI-443 as well as CI-468.

Finally I have a very pretty Flamingo by Daniele, complete with a very pink feather...

Hope you are feeling inspired.
Watch out for the Newsletter about the brand new stamps coming your way soon - yay!!

MORE GOOD STUFF....

I've picked out a few lovely items to blog today.  You have been liking this lovely mini book cover by Willy on Facebook recently.  Loving the experimental and relaxed style she has in her artworks....

Love the colours and the use of other stamp ephemera within the scene.  Main stamp is from CI-474, and CI-287 and more can be found in the background.

Sylvie has used similar colours in this lovely card...

So adorable is the child (and dog) amongst the flowers from CI-395.

Sylvie also decorated the backs of her cards, such a great idea, and a touch of this prettiness would also be very nice on an envelope too, don't you think?...

Here is another in a similar, pretty in pink style, again by Sylvie...

This time the stamp used is CI-423, and here is the back...

Sandra used this same stamp on her dimensional make - lovely!...

....and I adore this beauty again by Sandra....

....and her clever use of an ivy element from CI-482.  Stamps are just so very versatile.

My final image today is of a card by Helen, lots of prettiness here too, and a very imaginative use of CI-471...

What a fab selection from the team! 

Hope you all have a great week, thanks for looking.

Back soon,

Jean x
