Hello thanks for checking back. During the summer holidays my crafting becomes an evening event. That way I can concentrate on my children and a crazy puppy during the day. So what have I been up to and what's the photo about? I will confess I like the brand Hallmark they do produce great cards obviously second to a handmade card!. When I saw this set of forever friends collection on offer for just £11 delivered I couldn't resist. This came from create and craft, you know I love docrafs and every so often they have some bargains so it's worth a look. This came with an ultimate a4 pack some cards and envelopes, stamps plus some gems but what swayed me was the amount of gold in this set I think it will be versatile enough to be used at Christmas if needed. My makes so far. As you can see I've been busy with this set. It's full of "thinking of you and forever friends" sentiments but I like it its easy to work with and I'm looking forward to seeing how I can use this for Christmas. I've been making a few other cards as well. The little mouse is actually a silhouette file sadly it's been a while since I've used my silhouette and I'm not sure why? I guess I have to set it up every time I want to use it which is a bit of a pain. I do think my mouse would have been better on a plain background but we learn new things all the time. So I will stop at this point as I am actually running out of basic supplies like glue and foam dots so I really need to replace the basics.
Ignore this part if you should wish. Christmas in July is all over the craft channels and the big brands are also releasing new Christmas products. I'm going to be starting a few Christmas things on my Christmas section take a look at the top of the page it's coming soon very gently and just as a planner rather then full on so if your not ready for the C word just ignore this section. Thanks for checking take care everyone xxx.

I like a bargain don't you?. A few weeks ago whilst in lidl I came across some craft supplies. Every so often lidl will sell some crafts supplies. I have purchased these before so I know what I am getting. The paper packs are good I can use them in my cutting machine but not for anything to intrecut. The colour range is good and it's a large pack and for just £2.99 a bargain. We used some to make Elle-mays shark hat so they are strong enough. Craft packs Every season they seam to bring out these little craft packs full of coloured cards, pattern card, a few gems and embellishments, paper , felt and a glitter sheet As you can see they come with a sheet suggesting some projects which I have chosen to ignore. Don't worry if you can't find this one but look out for the next one which should be autumnal, last year's was lovely. So far I've just made two cards using the supplies. I can also recommend the 12 by 12 card packs from the works as well.
Hopefully next week I should have some new docrafs products to review. Take care everyone. Xxx |
