New graphic 45 project

 

Hi Folks, I've had a lovely couple of days actually crafting for once!! its funny that I seem to have less time to do any crafting than I did when I had my "normal job".

It actually does feed the soul!

Here's a new workshop project I've been working on. using Graphic 45 papers...LUSH! Saturday 24th of May 10.30 - 4.00. £25 for the day. £5 deposit secures your place.

This was inspired by my recent visit to the Scrapbook magic shop in Cornwall a few weeks ago. I saw a tag book workshop- I thought it may have taken a couple of hours- Maggie, the owner said it was a full day!- oh yes it certainly was a full day- (mind you it takes ages to stroke the papers first!!)- Thanks Maggie.

This project has given me a bit of new crafty  life- I  thoroughly enjoyed making it, the excitement of choosing the papers and watching the tag book evolve...do you know what I mean??

 

 

 I'm off now to tidy up - I must try to be a tidier crafter?

 

Have a good day- whatever you are doing.
Love

All good clean fun! looking forward to the coffee shop being open...and they have a vintage shop too.... keep me out of there you know what I am like with vintage furniture- especially as I have sold my sofa out of the conservatory- and all my craft stuff is gone...that means ...

ahh what a lovely weekend

Hello my lovely crafty friends, how  are you all?

Well I have had a lovely few days away in Cornwall...(big sigh) I really didn't want  to come back to   Nottingham! (REALLY)!!

We went to some beautiful places,

 

 

 ....My favourite place was a quaint little place called Mouse hole.. I don't seem to have any photographs. But it was  the kind of place I would move to tomorrow if I could.

We stayed in a lovely place called Mullion- now this was also incredibly beautiful.

More so when I discovered a place called Scrap Magic (www.scrapmagic.co.uk)
I met a lovely lady called Maggie- who owns the shop and runs lovely workshops from there.
They are not your normal workshops either- she uses graphic 45 papers and embellishments- really modern projects- I was very impressed. I think Maggie said that Clare Charvill  (graphic 45 UK demonstrator will be vising her store to do a workshop!! enquiries@scrapbookmagic.co.uk to find out more.

 

 

 

 Sigh....ahh... back to real life ay!!

On a lighter note I bought some more  graphic 45 papers so will be preparing some lovely projects for you. (yes, I will share the papers with you!  ;)
I was thinking about an album or storage box? what do you think?

This picture is for JW....here is the card I was telling you about- let me know if you would like to make it...x

 

 

Crikey- it has taken me 2 hours to load photos and blog this!! my eyes are tired now!
I hope you all have a good week-
take care
Love
