Noel, Noel

Good Morning!

 

How are we all today? Hope you have had a lovely weekend so far...for me it has involved a workshop yesterday over at Craft Range in Burnley which was brilliant, thanks to all those who came, I hope you enjoyed it. Today I will be mostly found up a ladder, in the lounge with a paintbrush...it's decorating time in our house!

But, before I venture up the ladder I thought I would just pop by and share something festive with you to inspire you for a creative, crafting Sunday!

 

 

Hope you like my NOEL! It was so lovely to make, using blah blah George, Santa and his sleigh, along with Roxy who is guiding the way. The tree is simply made up of tightly rolled, patterned paper but I think it works really effectively.

 

Anywho, my roller is beckoning...so I'm off up my ladder! One quick question before I go...have you all made your Christmas cards yet?!

 

Have a lovely Sunday,

 

Clare

Back again...

No, you aren't seeing things, here is my second post of the day!!!

 

I just wanted to share one more chritsmas make with you which is this lovely Christmas bauble...of course Alfie wanted in on the action! I think he was after the pom poms inside.

 

Enjoy!

Monday, Monday...

Well good afternoon, you lovely bunch!

 

Hope all is well and that you had a lovely, albeit a wet weekend! I have been super busy over the past few days, as on Friday I headed down to Aylesbury to A Maze of Memories, for a couple of days of demo's and workshops and then on Sunday I was over at The Craft Box in Elsecar for a workshop, very tiring but at the same time it was so lovely to see everyone!

 

Today though, I'm at home doing a spot of house work and sorting out my studio ready for the week ahead! A clean and tidy house equals a clean and tidy mind, so hopefully in the morning I'll be able to just head into my studio, flick the radio on and do the preparations for Wednesday's workshop over at Grosvenor House Papers in Kendal.

 

I hate to say it but this time in six... yes SIX weeks it will be Christmas eve! So I thought I would share this festive little card with you...

Roxy takes the cover of the card before you open it up to reveal Molly and George in Santa's sleigh...

 

 

Hope you enjoy...I must head back to the hoovering!

 

Hugs,

Well its 4.00am in the morning and I sat twiddling my thumbs because I can't sleep so I thought I would catch up on my messages and a little bit of blogging!!!

Thought I would share with you a little make from yesterdays workshop over at The Craftrange in Burnely. I have used the Christmas Cottage and Fa lah lah Molly from this years Christmas release of stamps. (My photography is getting worst by the minute! where's Molly when she's needed............)

What are you all up to this weekend?or are you at a losse end Well Molly Blooms is on the road again, I am taking part in Sirstampalot, Ultimate 5th Rubber Stamping Demo Day on Saturday over in Peterborough so why not take a trip over and say hi. Otherwise why not visit Craftrange in Burnley who are a holding a Mega Sale over this weekend, with 20% off everything in store and demos galore! so why not be prepared and start your christmas shopping early!

Well that's all for now as I am off to sand my noel!

Sharon thanks for your comment, I hope this helps you out the publishers have slightly reduced the template so you can either enlarge on a copier machine, or reduce the size of the door to measure 1 1/4 "x 2" for the craft card and then a matt to measure 1"x1 3/4".

Happy Friday!

Hello, bloggers old and new!

Happy Friday! How are you all this afternoon? Well I hope! Just thought that I would pop by and remind you all that I am still here just extra busy as per usual! Have had weekends full of demo's and workshops and weekdays full of samples and designs...hurrah! I've had lot's of people asking about my new magazine and how you can get hold of it, so for those of you that would like to know it will be in all good craft shops from 20th September. For a list of Molly Blooms rubber stamp stockists who might also be stocking the magazine, click here!

Wouldn't you all agree that this week has been simply glorius, weather wise? Of course it would be the week that all of the kids went back to school, but still it was a perfect weather for some strawberry treats! I haven't really introduced the most recent collection for Summer 2012, so I thought I would do so this afternoon! Molly has grown up a little whilst she goes down to the strawberry patch ready to make some jam, whilst George is still as cheeky as ever checking on his honey bee hive. I'm sure many will have seen them as they were out in the shops a couple of weeks ago, hope you all like them!

It's nearly wine-o'clock, but before I go, I'm going to share this sample with you featuring 'Cosmopolitan Molly', sitting on a pot of juicy, sweet, red strawberries:
