Only three more sleeps!!!

Hi All,

Wow did I have a particularly creative day yesterday!!!

My creative juice's were really flowing and after a very long day, I managed to get a heap of samples done for Saturday.

There are so many collections that I want to bring to you on Saturday and show you what you can achieve with them so I thought I would give you some more sneak peeks......

Don't be mistaken by thinking it is all about just card making on Saturday as well as heaps of card designs there are boxes, mirrors, clipboards, bunting, banners, calenders, wall hangings etc, etc, so come along and join in the fun......

I will pop back tomorrow to bring you a few sneak peeks of the Seaside/Nautical range, it's delish......

That's all for now.

Sneak Peeks Day 2

Hello again,  I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend.  The weather has been kind to us & with luck, it’s going to continue being kind for the next few days.  I have been very good & spent the day in my craft room again.  I want to have lots of different samples to show you on Saturday & lots of techniques to demonstrate.

Today’s sneaky peeks are from one sample.  See the little flowers?  I love them & I plan on buying a lot more.  They come in lots of gorgeous colours & they will be on sale on Saturday.





As I said yesterday, I’m keeping these posts short & sweet.  Lisa hopes to post some of her projects too in the next few days.  Until next time, thanks for visiting &

Keep crafting!

More Lavinia Loveliness & A Sneak Peek

Happy Saturday, blog visitors.  Seriously, the days are going by at the rate of knots.  There are only seven more sleeps to the CRAFT EVENT & the excitement is building.  Preparations are continuing, samples are still being made & we’re spreading the word far & wide.  I want to post here every day between now & next Saturday, if I can, so I‘ll be keeping the posts short & hopefully, sweet.

Below are two more of Lisa’s recent projects using Lavinia stamps.  I especially like the little tag & the mirror is terrific.  Again, Lisa used only Stormy Sky distress ink & black Archival ink.





Here are sneak peeks of two of the samples I’ve made for the craft event.  These were made with mostly Kanban products.





Time to go, the plan is to be post again tomorow…..  Until then,

Keep crafting!

Paper Crafting Event

Good Afternoon Bloggers,

OMG I can't believe it has been so long since I last blogged.
I really do need someone to invent 48hr days!!!!
Life is just whizzing by like a run away train at the moment.
I have been really busy with Craft Shows and Dt work.

Let's not to forget there are only 11 more sleeps before my Paper Craft Event Day on 28th July at Fant Hall, Barming ME16 8NN. 10 - 4pm.
I am really looking forward to it and hope that it gets great support.
So much much time, money, care and effort has gone in to the planning of it, not to mention the huge amount of samples that have been made to give you masses of inspiration.
So don't forget your camera's on the day ladies and gents of course!

My lovely friend Jenny from Hobby art will be showcasing a brand new stamp set on the day along with many of her other sets. Jenny always brings so many lovely samples with her.

The lovely Helen Meighan from Helidot will be demonstrating her gorgeous range and has some lovely new itsy bitsy papers in beautiful pastels tones.
If you like small and neat done to perfection you will love what Helen does.

Kirsten will be getting inky and playing around with a bit of steampunk on the day showing you lots of different techniques.

I will be showcasing some new Kanban and Hunkydory ranges and showing you how to get the most out of them, along with many other items.

There are masses of new items and ranges, with loads of great offers, raffles, make and takes with our Rosemary and not to mention great food and refreshments.

So come along and be inspired, have a bit of fun, get some great bargains and spend some time in a friendly crafting atmosphere with like minded people!

Any of you that have not joined me over on Face book, here is the link:

A Box of Lavinia Loveliness

Hello blog visitors, hope you are all well.  See the image above?  The Paper Crafting event?  It’s TWO weeks away.  I hope you have the date in your diary, we are looking forward to seeing you.  The weather may be miserable, but a day of crafting happiness & inspiration is not to be missed.  And when you see the gorgeous goodies that Lisa has for you to buy.  I had a sneak peek earlier this week & there are LOTS of new items, from stamps, to papers, to inks, to ribbons & much more.  I’ve also seen the planned layout of Fant Hall & it’s looking great.



Team LBD are busy making samples & planning our demonstrations.  Rosemary will be doing make & takes, I’m serving up various techniques with Distress inks & stains, with some Adirondack inks & paint dabbers on the side.  Don’t forget we have Jenny Mayes of Hobby Art & Helen Meighan of Helidot joining us & of course, Lisa will be demoing too.  There will be refreshments, including an assortment of delicious cakes – whether you have one or several is entirely up you.   So, save up your pennies, raid your piggybanks & join us on July 28.



Lisa has been travelling the country demoing at various shows.  Last week, she was at Art Stamps in Newbury & this weekend, she’s in Doncaster.  She has sent me some photos of projects she has made using Lavinia Stamps, Stormy Sky distress ink & black Archival ink.  This box is a beautiful example of monochromatic colouring; that one colour can be used to create such lovely shading is still a delight to me, especially as I’m so rubbish at it.



I love that there is a different scene on each side, I think the owl is my favourite, although the bats are a close second.  You can see from the photo above that stamping with the same colour ink is also very effective; it blends with the background colour & the black over stamping helps the focal image to really pop.



Hope you like this project.  I have a few more to show you, as well as a few sneak peeks of some of the samples for the crafting event.  The one on July 28, remember?  Thanks of visiting.

Until next time, keep crafting!
