Fridays Create & Take

I would just like to thank the ladies who popped over last night for our little get together at Crafts U Love. Well done to Rosemary who won a Black Squeeze Tool in our free raffle and thanks to Carole Dawson for providing a lovely Indian Platter. Now here is the last Create & Take of the year. I have used the new Inches from Inkadinadoo. I have used the Greeting set but there are lots to choose from and at only £8.99 they are a good price too.

Get Together

Sorry I have not updated for a while we have been so busy here at Crafts U Love shipping everyones Christmas pressies. I can't believe how fast this year has passed and how quickly christmas has come around.

Back From the NEC

We had a great time at the NEC last week and we are all still tyring to recover from lack of sleep and standing on our feet for about 10 hours a day. It was so busy up there especially Saturday, you could bearly move. We had the new Woodland releases from Quickutz which went down a storm. It was really nice to meet some of our on-line customers and put faces to the names. Thanks for everyone visiting us at the stand and making it such a great show. I have lots of Wendys cards to put on the blog which I will get on very soon. In the mean time here are the new QK releases. Most of them are now in stock now on our website ready to ship!

Create & Take

Here is a quick card you can make for Christmas using the Reindeers Quickutz Die (KS-0212). I have teamed it up with the Anitas Classic Gold Vellum paper pad and the French Vanilla Tulle.

We have just received the new Imaginisce Fairest of Them All range so I have used the papers on this baby girl card which we will make in Create & Take tomorrow. My friend Andrea has just had a little girl called Erin so I made her a card at the weekend using Forever Friends Stamps & Stickers so I am still in baby card mood.

CHRISTMAS MAGNOLIAS!!!!

I just thought I would let you know Magnolias are here. It has been mayhem at our shop today because the new Christmas Magnolias arrived and there are 42 of them! I don't think they will even make the shelf at this rate so if you want some now get your order in very quick! It is so hard to decide which ones to go for as they are all gorgeous as usual.

Sunday Opening at Crafts U Love

We are now opening the last Sunday of each month starting this weekend 25th Oct between 10am-4pm. So if you are out and about why not pop over to see Tracy & Heidi and lots of new Christmas goodies, you may even pick up a bargain or two from our Ex-Demo Sale.

Helens Bauble Bauble Cards

I have finally managed to start putting on some of the cards Helen made on our Christmas Demo Day. Helen can create the most beautiful cards with punches and peel offs and the punch that she used to make this bauble is a keyhole punch would you believe! Helen will be demonstrating at our store on Sat 22nd November along with Jane Gill, so its a date not to be missed! For punches & peel offs click the links

Create & Take with Forever Friends

I couldn't resist making a card with the beautiful Forever Friends bears so here is one for our Friday's Create & Take.. The burgundy one is coloured in with watercolour paints & glitter is used on his had and to create a snow effect (this is the one we will make in C & T). Then on the green one I have stamped on different card stock and paper and used white Fun Flock for his hat. As you can see I am just lovin the new Dotted Swiss cardstock from Bazzill.

Fridays Create & Take

We had a break from Christmas on this weeks Create & Take. Here is a simple card using an Inkadinkadoo stamp called Fun on the Beach. I have coloured it with Water colour paints (although I am not a great painter you get the idea) I have also used this gorgeous new cardstock from Bazzill called Dotted Swiss and the Summer Shape Cookie Cutters for the Bucket & Spade

New Recruit

Sorry I haven't updated for a week, it's very naughty of me! I still have problems with my scanner but I thought you may want to see our latest recruit at Crafts U Love. Here is my youngest son Ben (2 1/2) helping me with a mailshot. He insisted on helping so after he tried a few stamps which went everywhere expect the envelope and cost me over a £1, he was quite happy to fold down the envelopes and then put them all in a neat pile. Well after doing about 20 he got feed up and left the rest (another 700) to me!
