About Me

My Photo
I joined Particraft as a demonstrator in April 2008 and am also an independent demonstrator for Creative Expressions. I have a passion for cardmaking and have been teaching at workshops for the past 5 years including on cruise ships. There is nothing to compare with the thrill of seeing someone complete a project after they have told you that they haven't an artistic bone in their body! It's a great hobby that anyone of any age can enjoy. I'm married to Steve who almost understands my addiction to craft as he's addicted to his guitars. Between us, we have 4 grown up children and 3 grandchildren. I run workshops at my home and am also starting a craft club in September 2010. If anyone would like details of the workshops please e-mail me at stephen.smith870@ntlworld.com

Festive Village


This is just going to be a very quick post as I'm putting the finishing touches to the cabin for the weekend workshop which starts this evening.
Thought I'd share another sample that I made for Ally Pally yesterday. It's from the "Festive Village" set of unmounted stamps from Particraft. I've stamped it in Black Archival ink and heat embossed in clear then coloured in with Copic pens. I've used some papers from my stash and black ribbon. I found the holly berries in a sale last January and have been waiting to use them! Didn't use them before as I had forgotten about them....I think we've all done that!!!
Looking forward to Sue's show at 12pm...she's demonstrating some new Nestabilities and if her samples are anything to go by, I'm going to need them! Jo Channon will also be on Create and Craft over the weekend so watch out for her shows. Hope some of you are coming to Ally Pally next weekend. If you do get there, please come to the Particraft stand and say "Hi". It would be lovely to meet you and be able to faces to names.
I won't get a chance to blog over the weekend but I'll be back on Monday with piccies of the workshop. Don't forget to enter for the blog candy...you'll find it under older posts and remember, the more comments you leave, the more entries you get!
So until next time...................keep crafting!!!

Pretty card. Not that I don't love them too, but it makes a nice change from snowmen and such.
