About Me

My photo
Hi, I'm Pam and thank you for visiting my blog. I have been making cards for over 10 years and am an independent demonstrator for Creative Expressions. I am lucky enough to teach on cruise ships and also get the chance to demo at The Big Stamping and Scrapbooking Show at Alexander Palace. I run workshops for a local craft shop and if anyone would like details of the them please e-mail me at stephen.smith870@ntlworld.com I love to scrapbook but my all time favourite thing is to get messy with ink!

WOYWW

Good Morning All.  I can't believe that it's Wednesday already....where did this last week go!

Well, I'm ashamed to say that my desk hasn't got any less messy than the last visit!  In my defence, I am in the middle of sorting out kits for the next workshop in July.  I know that's ages away but it's nearly the start of the festival season when I can go away and be an ageing hippy!

On the desk are some Cosmic Shimmer Misters, a set of Nautical stamps and my trusty Teacup as well as the start of the packs, masks and sample card.

I'm on the Creative Studios DT blog today with a step by step for the door hanger I've put on here.  I've used the Wise Owl set of stamps designed by Sam Poole.  If you'd like to know how I made it, please click on the link on the right.

And finally, my travel photo for today!  This is in the Amazon where we were lucky enough to visit in January when we were teaching on a cruise.  It's a place called Alto do Chao and is a beach resort right on the shore of the Amazon river!

Well, that's all for today.  Many thanks for stopping by and leaving comments for me,  I do appreciate it.  Until next time......

I can think of worse places to work than a boat sliding idly by such lovely river banks!
What is on the notecards? Kit contents or technique reminders..something of the sort?

When you see my desk, you cannot possibly think your desk is untidy. Thank you for your visit, and I am glad you now know it is not you when the stamps or inks ore of poor quality. As crafters, we put ourselves into what we make and to have it fail through poor tools or card etc is soul destroying. xx Maggie #41
