The new Mini Spring Catalogue starts this friday and I know I have lots of customers eager to order from this awesome little book. One of the sets thats in this Mini is True Friend and one I’ve been waiting for since seeing it in USA.

The photo here was taken back in January at my niece’s wedding. I am pictured here with my little sister (and True Friend) Jo who I don’t get to see often enough - I am going to visit in another 10 weeks! Cant Wait!!

Well better be off and do some tidying as I have a very special guest coming next week for a fleeting visit!

Spring is coming

We all know after the chills of winter spring comes and its coming early! cocoapaintedbird

Well no not with the weather but the Spring Mini Catalogue starts August 1st and I must say I am VERY excitement about this catalogue as its got such lovely new and fresh stamp sets in it. Some I’ve been admiring from afar for a while too.

This card here was made with some of the yummy new stamps and accessories in the Spring Mini Catalogue.

I have also fallen inlove with the jumbo wheel called ‘It’s Beautiful’ and I must say it really is. Its what I’ve used on the old olive background and I can lots of cards and scrapbooking layouts and boxes being made with this wheel! It sounds a tad corny but it does bring the paper to life!

paintedbirdI have used the Always stamp set which is one I’ve been in love with for some time and seen so many lovely creations made by my friends in USA.

I have stamped & embossed the bird then coloured in the floral pattern with markers.

Notice the ribbon? its the very new and very nice Pomegranate Satin ribbon which will be available from the Spring Mini Catalogue as well.inkedprettyflower

The blue flower is actually one from the awesome Pretties kit which I’ve coloured with Soft Sky ink and placed a half pearl in the centre.

So there is your first sneek peak from me & hope you like it!

Want to see the catalogue? Then email me and ask for me to send you one - or better still book in a demonstration and I’ll show you how to make this card & colour the flowers in the pretties to whatever colour you want!
