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

It's That Time Again!


Morning everyone! Well, it's that time again when I draw the winner of the blog candy so without further ado (and without a safety net!) the winner is.............................................

Mariella.
Many congratulations and I hope you have a lot of fun with the goodies. Please e-mail me your address. To everyone else, commiserations! However, there will be another chance to enter for some more candy in the next few days so please keep watching this space.
The packs for the workshops on the cruise are coming along well and I've now completed 23 projects which works out to 920 packs! I'm mid-way through project 24 and will finish it this morning. After that my lovely OH is taking me to Faversham to visit a craft shop called Pickleberry Crafts and then taking me to lunch. We don't usually do this but it's a sort of special day (although one that I keep trying to forget) as it's the dreaded birthday. Think I'll just admit to 31 plus VAT with variable rates! I've been a very lucky bunny though....10 new stamp sets to play with!!!! My family know the way to my heart!!! And a ticket to Sir Tim's workshop in Feb!!! Maybe these birthdays aren't so bad after all!!!
Anyway, onto the card at the start of this posting. It's from the Winter Wonderland set of stamps from Particraft and I've stamped it in Faded Jeans Distress Ink onto gloss card. Then I've placed some sequin waste over the top of it and sponged the ink through. Thought it looked like huge blue snow falling....oh dear...I seem to have lost the plot again! Anyway, you know what I mean...it's a different way of creating a background!
Have a great day everyone and until next time.................keep crafting!!!
