My Happier Place

Good evening folks, how are you all? hope you are all ok and enjoying a relaxing evening.

I've not been around much this week as I've been really busy at work and been unpacking my stuff into my new craft room. I'm really pleased with it, as it's a bit bigger and my hubby has also put his computer and stuff in there. Which means I won't feel as guilty spending time crafting whilst he is sat on his own, as he'll be in there too, doing his stuff, although I will be in charge of the remote for the telly. Hehe!


Here's my first card made in there.




I've used a very cute stamp from Red Gingham Designs available at Little ClaireDesigns.

Red Gingham Designs are a wonderful new stamp range which include some fab circle sentiments and some gorgeous new Christmas designs which are available very soon.

One if which is Little George, that I have used here, although I've coloured  George in pink, aww! just a little cutie as a boy or girl.

I followed a sketch over at Sketch Saturday

Before I go I have some exciting news to share with you, I have had one of my cards published. Woohoo! I'm chuffed to bits.

A couple of months ago Gill at Little Claire's asked me to design a card with a step by step to put in the Best of British cardmaking book. Well it's in this issue, I am just thrilled to bits. :o) 

Simply Cards & Papercraft 87


Rightyoh! enough twaddle from me, I'm off to catch up with you all.

Lin said...

OMG this is more like a ruddy shop than a craft room! I have my Daughter's old room as a craft room, but it's small and so to fit everything in I am jammed into this small, small space around the table in the centre, so much so I keep knocking stuff off with my tummy!

Congrats also on being published, but it's certainly no more than you deserve as your creations are amazing.

Lin xx
