BRRRRRRRRR.....Baby its Cold Outside

Well I woke up to first snowfall of this winter, and this weeks Allsorts Challenge seems very fitting Monochrome. I have used this happy chappy from my range of stamps, he always cheers me up! and I need that at the moment, as I am feeling under the weather.

Its my last week as Guest Designer for the allsorts challenge and I would just like to say a BIg thank you to all the girls over there for inviting me to be part of the team for the last month, I have truly enjoyed myself.

Well its back to bed for me with my hot water bottle!

Have a good weekend

Stamp & Enjoy,

Christmas Cracker....

Hello to you all out there and thank you for popping by today.

As promised here is the template for the christmas cracker that a lot of you have admired, when I have been out and about. Please note that the template is not down loadable (as I am not that clever!) nor is it drawn to scale,
but at least the measurments are correct.

Please leave me a comment so I know you popped by.

This weeks Allsorts Challenge.... Lace, Ribbon & Charm.

Good morning to you all out there, well its Saturday again and time for the Allsorts Challenge. I am very lucky to be their Guess Designer for this month, and I am having such fun, as I never done any challenges before this!

Here is my card for this week Lace, Ribbon, and Charm. I have used these 2 cute Molly Blooms stamped images along with gingham papers and plain bazzill cardstock and a mixture of ribbon. My charm is the crystal snowflake from a stash of stuff I have had for a while.

Have a great weekend and get creating.
Stamp and enjoy,

What am I up to? ....

Good morning to you all,

Here in Helmshore the wind is howling and the rain is bouncing down, and poor Alfie is looking fed up because I haven't taken him for a walk yet... because I don't think I can bear to get wet or blown away this morning! how bad am I?

Had a really good weekend over at Sirstampalot and the girls really enjoyed the workshop... apart from the measuring. I will post later in the week what we made, just haven't got round to taking photos yet but I will.

Thanks for all your comments and your emails over the last week, they are so nice to receive and read.
Here are some answers to the questions asked.

1. The circle on the card made for this weeks Allsort Challenge is die cut using the Magnolia DooHickey die Lace Doily.

2.  This Saturday I am over at The Paperlane, which is in Northallerton Yorkshire demoing from 10am till 4pm.

3.  My classes for this year are nearly over, but on Saturday 4th December Sirstampalot are holding their Ultimate Rubber Stamping day and I will be running a series of  2 hour workshops throughout the day. For more details please contact Sirstampalot  who will be happy to help.


The card I attach today was made a while back, and yes I know its in those papers again I just can't help myself!

Have a good Tuesday,

Stamp & Enjoy

P.S. Sorry this is a day early, but I have a very busy weekend in Peterborough doing workshops at SirStampalot!! x

I Know !!!

Hello to you all out there, well I think winter has finally arrived its gone so cold, and the heating is still broken but not for much longer, the part has finally arrived and at last the engineer is here fixing it!

How boring am I? its that same paper again I just love it and I can't help myself from working with it and I still have more left! I promise I will not be using this in Saturday and Sundays workshop over at Sirstampalot but I have to admitt I have snook in a small amount of October Afternoon Paper, which I am busy pre-ping for at the moment.

Anyway must dash Alfie is eating the engineers... screw driver!

"Twas the night before Christmas"... Allsorts Challenge Blog

Hi to everyone out there. I feel very honoured to have been asked to be GDT member for the month of
November over at the Allsorts Challenge Blog. The theme for this week is "Twas the night before Christmas"

My card came together really from the title of the challenge and I just had to use some of my favourite designs in my new range of " Molly Blooms Stamps Christmas 2010", which are all available from Sirstampalot . I especially adore the bed it looks so comfy!

Stamp & Enjoy,

Thought I would share this card with you today, I hope it inspires you and that your Christmas cards are well under way. It looks like mine will be a box of shop bought ones again!!!

Have a good weekend,
