Pepper & Friends Card

I really struggled with stamping, I'm not artistic so has been way out of my comfort zone. I just love Pepper, I'm going back to my local craft shop (Crabapple Crafts) as I know they have just got their stock in. Rosemerry Merry the owner has already had a play with these, she's been working with Trim Craft. All of the staff knew I'd be buying them as I have a rather cute Springer who's just like Pepper.

Here are my first two attempts, I've got a little pack of Promarkers, I'm not very good with them yet, I've heared they take practice.

Papper and Friends

I've finally got my Pepper & Friends stamps.....I just love these cute characters! Helz Cuppleditch is the artist, she's giving away a print on her blog, which is worth while checking out

Can't give away tickets for Stitch and Creative Crafts Show!

OK, I was delighted when I had won the Paper Essentials cmpetition for pair of tickets to the Stitch and Creative Crafts show in Manchester 29th to 31st January 2010, except my better half had booked suprise tickets to see our friends in Canada.....umm....I was really looking forward to the show....But what to do about the tickets???? I have asked my friend if she wants them, but she debated for days then said she'd rather not......Is she insane?!! Then my Mother-in-Law and her friend also debated and said they'd wait untill Aintree craft show later in the year......What is it about 2 FREE tickets to a craft show that's soooooooo difficult to decide...FREE...means you don't have to pay to go and touch all of that crafty stuff and bag yourself a bargain! Even Mum said no, and oh my word does she love to shop for craft toys! I've even contacted my local craft shop....I just can't believe I can't give away two. FREE, FREE, FREE tickets to the Stitch & Creative Crafts Show.......I only wish I could go ;-(
