Next live TV show on Create & Craft - Mon. 9th Nov @ noon!

Yes, yet another live show!

Here's another card from the last show with Kay's Funky Flowers stamp sheet. A simple card coloured with Tombow brush pens.


I know, I know, I've not been posting or commenting as I normally try to, but October was a busy time so I have just been flopped out for a bit since. It's my own fault for lifting those crates onto the darn trolley at the end of the Doncaster show that didn't help and on top of that I got a cold which knocked me for six too, so all in all, in amongst other things, not a good time!

I had a burst of energy on Tuesday, my back wasn't quite so painful and how strange that I felt a different person! Anyway, I spent a bit of time preparing for Monday's telly show and yesterday I got some more of the elements ready, I had made a list of ideas, and at least some have been done and I'm feeling a little less pressured about Monday's show now. I will play again tomorrow to finish things off.

I will be using Kay's latest collection of stamps again and wanted to demo different things from the ones I demo'd in the last show, although there'll still be shrink plastic! If I can get my bits together to form some cards then I will be even happier:)

Yes, it's me on my own on this one, I have been dreading the drive and had decided to go by train this time but, Mr Superman Stamp Man has stepped in to chauffeur me, phew, that is such a relief, as I know I couldn't do that loooooooooong drive at the moment. I didn't nag Ian, honest....OK, I'll stop whinging now!

Kay's 3 new DVD's are on their way to us, and they will all arrive on our website very soon! If you are a beginner at stamping, do start with the first one as Kay explains, very well, about different ink pads, of which there are many, and so much more, it will prove a great start to your new hobby. There's loads to learn on them all, so they are a good idea for you to add to your Christmas pressie list this year. We'll have a multi-buy offer too if you want to go for all 3 DVDs.

Kay has used some of her stamp designs on the DVDs, including her latest collection that I am showing on Monday's show.

What else do I have to mention, oh yes, Walnut Hollow products for metal embossing, I have now added them to our website. I tried the starter kit at our workshop last weekend and it has a good mix of stuff to get you started. There are other add-ons which you can gather as you go along, it really is great fun to do. I'll show you what I made as soon as I get them finished.

I've added a few new workshop dates to the website too, the workshop on Saturday November 14th is with Jill Boulton, grunge paper and metal embossing techniques, so another great workshop theme with a chance to try metal embossing if you missed out on last weekend's workshop.

More blog candy is coming soon, once I get a chance to get it together along with a photo, so do call back to join in.

Umm, I think that's all the waffle I have for today. Thanks for reading!!
