Good morning Everyone

I hope you had a lovely BAnk Holiday weekend, I had good reports from Lynn that the shops were mega busy.

Which Translates to:- we can afford another bottle of wine when I come up soon LOL!!

Don't forget to check out the latest workshops, If the kiddies are bored this half term remember the Kiddies club on Tuesday and Thursday of this week, we will take them off your hands for a couple of hours, and they will have loads of fun being creative.

Another reminder for all you budding JO Sonjas Fans out there, Sonnie Day will be in the shop with words of wisdom all day on Saturday - And yes I am sulking, I will miss it. Not due up till the Thursday after and even then I am being secreated off to Scotland for the weekend.

Take Care

Joannas Cricut card

Birthday Cake Shaped Card

A great excuse to make a card. Last Sunday my daughter needed to go to a 9 year old party, so this is what I made......

I used the Cricut Celebrations cartridge and the Design Software to weld the shape to create my base card. I used some Bazzill purple card for the front of the card layered with white glitter card for the icing. Lots of Kaiser gems used for the sprinkles on the icing!! The paper case was mounted on foam pads using the gorgeous Craft Creations gingham paper. I then cut some flowers out (forgotten which cartridge) and highlighted them with some more Kaiser gems. I then cut out a scallop and computer generated my greeting. Finally I added some ribbon bought last year at the Newbury Stamp Show and highlighted the cake with a white pen...

......hope you like!

New IN!!!!

Hi Everyone!!

I have just had the e-mail from Lynn to let me know that all the Scrummy Yummy!! Wedding Stationery Supplies are in. So I am frantically adding to the online shop as I type. LOL!!

I have added so much already and there is oodles left to do.

Also she had some Bugs in a rug papers arrive, but Lynn is not letting me know about them as I told everyone about the Tilda Papers and they did not last long. (But I know they are in a little bird told me, and they are so lush! So go get them before they are gone, but leave me some OKAY!!)

AS for the Challenge well that went down like a lead balloon with you guys, so for now it is back to the old way of me posting work I am shown every now and then.

But just to get everyones Juices flowing I Would like to see some projects made for Fathers Day.

Hopefully I will get the girls in the shop to take photos of their creations as they go and pop them on here.

So what else is happening, Workshops all week as shown in the right hand panel.
