If you tune in at 7pm tonight over on the Creative Expressions page, you will see a sneaky peek of the brand new Woodware Christmas collection designed by our lovely Gwen Fletcher. She will be taking the collection to Hobby Maker on Tuesday June 30th at 3pm and 7pm.
Here is my own little sneaky peek of 3 of the new characters. Join us tonight to see the whole collection.

Afternoon everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the weather and staying safe in the sun. Today i thought i would share a card i made using beach vibes Norman. I stamped the wave stamp from the Ahoy captain set on the blue paper from the By the sea paper pad, i also used the sun from the Summer Norma set and the cute little crab from the Lighthouse Gnome set.

Today I have used the Woodware Heartfelt Bear in this very simple card. I used some water on a brush to paint the flower petals in then dab off with some kitchen towel. I find bleach can be a bit too effective at removing colour, so water lifting is a softer option on water reactive inks like Distress Inks or Oxides.

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all have been enjoying the sun. Today i am sharing a card I made using Butterfly bear stamp. I used the round panels die for the tag, and for the mats and layers I used the rounded panels die and the paper pad.
Have a lovely weekend!

Well it is Father’s Day this Sunday….Super Bertie to the rescue….I love how different the bears look in different colours…. Again just a reminder you don’t always have to use the whole character….

Today I am sharing a little gift bag which I called a "Rainy Day Activity Bag"
If you have kids or grandkids, it's always handy to have little activities prepared to keep them occupied on a rainy day. And let's face it, we get plenty of those!
Have you ever made things with shrink plastic with kids. They love it. The bag charm kit could be part of the activity. I just finished it off so you could see the completed bag.
