Oh boy, have I had trouble getting this to upload today! Anyway, better late than never. Many thanks to everyone who visited last week and for leaving such kind comments.
On to this week...I started to make a shadow box with one of my birthday set of stamps, it's just about finished and I'll put the piccie on here next time. Obviously there is a pile of Distress Inks..don't think I can manage without them!
This is the "working"end of my table...good job you can't see the rest of it which is piled up with samples for the demo on Saturday.
Talking of which...if you're in East Kent on Saturday I'll be at Martell Press, Northdown Rd, Cliftonville from 09.30 til 17.00 so if you're in the area, pop in and say hi! 
This is another sample I've made for the demo. I've used stamps from the "Partridge in a Pear Tree" set. I inked the pear stamp with Tumbled Glass and Dusty Concord Distress Inks then heat embossed with Aurora Sparkle powder (Cosmic Shimmer). The message was stamped with the Dusty Concord ink after colouring a piece of card with both colours and then I heat embossed the whole thing. I ran a piece of card through my die cut machine to dry emboss it, then used direct to paper technique to give it some dimension. The only other thing I've done is to add a shadow around the pear. It's a very quick and easy card to make but looks quite effective. All of the stamps and inks are available from Particraft.
In other news, my grandson has just found out that he has passed the 11+ exam so he can go to grammar school next September. I'm so pleased (not to mention proud) for him as he had set his heart on passing and I know how hard he has worked.
Sue only needs another 40 followers before she draws the candy on her Particraft blog so do pop over as it's well worth winning. I've also got some candy on offer so have a look at the previous post if you'd like to join in. Well, that's all for now...got to get ready for craft club this evening so until next time........keep crafting!!!

Great desk - love the card samples. Congratulations to your grandson and enjoy the weekend demo! Thanks for sharing (no. 46)
Love the pear card, especially the way the dry embossing has been inked. I doubt it would look that good for me as I seem to get it on both the raised areas and the rest of the paper despite trying to be gentle with it.
Lovely looking stamps on the table, I love all things influenced by nature. Great sample card too, very Christmassy and sparkly.
