Good morning everyone. I hope you're all well and enjoyed that quick visit by the sun over the previous Bank holiday. Sadly we're back to normal spring weather but it was great whilst it lasted. Today I'm sharing one of my projects - also on the Love 2 Create Challenge Blog - that I made as a demo on Hochanda for the launch of the Creative Doodles Collection from Polkadoodles , using a bit of everything from the collection ...

A wee while ago, Tonic Studios released a wonderful set of sleeve dies which although were designed to act as sleeves/holders for envelopes/cards/albums, they can in fact be used for so much more. I've used 2 of the dies from this collection to create a card and what's more, I 'manned up' and used glitter ...

At the end of March, Nikky Hall brought 2 new stamp sets to Hochanda which are part of the Stamp Soup range and this collection/addition was called "Funky Fantasy" . They completely and utterly sold out in 30 minutes 😲 This was meant to be a 'One Day Special' lasting 5 shows ...! Today I thought I'd share one of the projects I was meant to demo using the Circling Around and In A Frenzy stamp sets. can you guess which stamps I have used to make my card?

On Wednesday, Jodie Johnson launched the new Life's Journey Keepsake Collection of dies from Tonic Studios on Create & Craft, which compliment the existing memory book dies. It was a huge success and sold out within the hour! I was very lucky and managed to play with the dies making samples for the show - well it was meant to be shows. For one of my samples I made a travel journal themed album with a male slant ...

Polkadoodles recently launched a wonderful new collection called Creative Doodle s on Hochanda. Within the collection is a fab A5 alphabet stamp set, called Funky Alphabet , with a matching/coordinating stencil - must quickly add that the stencil is a genius idea - that makes colouring the stamped images a complete and utter doddle. Here is one of the samples I made for the show with the main focus being the alphabet and stencil

Good morning. The sky is blue, no clouds and the sun shining but the wind ... the wind is very chilly! Not sure if it's warm or cold today which makes getting dressed a wee bit tricky. Anyways, I'm here today to share 2 cards with exactly the same layout,colours and made with the same Polkadoodles products - Polkadoodles Pretty Perfect collection - but one I have left bright and the other softer ...

 WOWsers lots has happened since the end of January and my lickle feet haven't touched the ground. Finally I've managed to squeeze in some 'me' time and catch up with the crafty blogging world. I have missed my blog fix, bouncing from one to the another to see every ones wonderful projects, learn new skills and see the latest 'must have but shouldn't really' products that would look wonderful in our craft stash. I have saved, pinned and bookmarked oodles and oodles of different sites, so I can take everything in time and again. I'm back in crafty '7th heaven'.
