Came home and then checked what was going on with the weekly deals.  If you've got ink pads you certainly don't want to miss this one.

WEEKLY DEALS

Did you know that our ink pads need never dry up?  Its True.  Did you know that the same applies to the Marvelous Markers.  True too.  How?  Simple.

Each can be refilled using our wonderful Re-inkers.  And not only can you re-ink your pads and pens with them, but you can also use them to create your own custom ink pads as I did in a previous post using the wet wipe technique.  You can see that post here.

Modern Mosaic gets punched and embossed

Hi everyone.

Wow, where did summer go?  I think I blinked and missed it ........ I just cannot believe its September already.  Kids are back to school and college and normal life has resumed.

During the summer holidays I did some extra one to one classes with a few ladies and these are the makes from one of those sessions.

We used, modern mosaic stamps, embossing folder and punch.  Teamed with Love labels and matching punch.

Isn't this one gorgeous ....... its in early espresso  .......... no really Mum, this is brown not Black !!

The gorgeous love label and chevron ribbon just finish this of beautifully.

Tape it, meets modern mosaic - love this one so cute.  Hello honey and strawberry slush. I have also used the now retired occasions alphabet set  for the sentiment.  Finished the whole thing off with some lovely sparkly jewels. 

And how about this one - using the label punch and splitting them to create backgrounds.  I used the chevron embossing folder to create texture on this one before adding modern mosaic centres and those gorgeous itty bitty butterflies.  Cute.  

We had a lovely day at class an the ladies really enjoyed themselves.

If you would like some lessons or some crafty time with your friends and would like to do something similar then please get in contact to arrange a date and time.

I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

There is some exciting news coming tomorrow - I am just finalising my plans, so please check back then to see.

Thank you Ali for your lovely card ........  I always send out thank you cards to all my customers.  I think its important to thank people.  Even as a child I wrote my thank you letters.

So imagine how touched I was to receive this lovely 8 x 8 work of art.  Its absolutely stunning.

Ali has used the gorgeous Swallowtail butterfly, maksed over it and then used En- Francais and the Happy Watercolour sets to create this stunning card.  It has pride of place in my craft room.

The gorgeous butterfly has been coloured with our lovely new Blendabilities pens.  Isn't it gorgeous and with some much depth and tone.  Love it.  

Thank you Ali.
