Hope everyone is enjoying their eggs and other Easter goodies :-) Just a quick visit to share this card with you - not strictly an Easter card but it could've been... I love this design, one of a set of cutting files for my Craft Robo, bought from My Scrap Chick. Unfortunately, although it doesn't really show in this pic I had a bit of a disaster with the good old pinflair glue , put a bit too close to the edge when sticking it all together - if you look closely at the middle 'tuft' on the chick's head you might be able to see it. But, as any good crafter knows, there's always a way round - et voila (!) version 2... ...with a hastily designed and cut sentiment! I managed to squeeze a bit of Promarker action in there too - instead of faffing about cutting the eyes and beak out of different pieces of card I cut them in yellow with the main piece and then coloured them in - genius, even if I do say so myself! Off to do more tidying now :-(

We are so excited to finally see more and more of the new Hello Spring Collection arriving in our warehouse! We're hoping to start shipping ...

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at My Craft Spot! This week the challenge is "Wrap It Up" -packaging, gift boxes, bags, etc. I made this cute Birthday Gift bag for my project. I cut the bag using a file from The Silhouette Online Store and added some Sheer White Ribbon to the top. I did this by using my ATG gun and ran some tape along the top edge. Then I took some Sheer White Ribbon and folded it back and forth over the glue. The cupcake is cut from Simply Charmed and I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Sweet and Innocent face. I also added some Glossy Accents to the cherry and dotted it on the cupcake for sprinkles. I made the tag and stamped the sentiment using My Craft Spot's NEW Tasty Treats stamp set and attached it to the handle using more Sheer White Ribbon. I hope you will all play along and please don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT has created! Have a great day!

Is it too early to think about Easter? Just an excuse to play with colour and pattern really.

So I used to draw...a lot. Then I decided that I wanted to go to school for art . After almost completing the program I decided not to fin...

Meu tempo está curtíssimo por esses dias, nem consegui parar por aqui ou responder vocês, estou no meio de uma encomenda enorme de Páscoa e outra de scrap decor. Tenho produzido muito e logo volto aqui prá mostrar tudinho pra vocês e colocar a vida em ordem, certo? Hoje eu passei rapidinho para deixar presentinhos, algumas gravuras de Páscoa que podem ser usadas em decoupage, cartões, scrapbooking e etc... Para usá-las, você pode imprimir na impressora da sua casa mesmo, aguarde secar bem (eu espero uma hora pelo menos) e depois e só impermeabilizar com duas camadas de Goma Laca Incolor, intercalando secagem. Se você preferir, leve o arquivo em uma gráfica ou papelaria especializada e imprima a laser, dessa forma não precisa usar a goma laca, basta usar e pronto. Dicas * Eu gosto de imprimir em papel couchê fosco, fica igual aos papéis de decoupage comprados prontos, mas se você imprimir em casa, deixe secar por mais tempo. No mínimo umas duas horas, ele é um papel menos poroso e acetinado, se não estiver bem seco, borra com facilidade. * Os arquivos estão em boa resolução e qualidade, salve e deixe do tamanho que você precisar e quiser, eles não perderão a definição. * Se for levar para imprimir na gráfica, monte uma folha com o máximo possível de imagens, pois as cópias são cobradas por unidade, e você pagará a mesma coisa por uma folha cheia ou com uma imagem apenas. Muitas opções de coelhos fofos e ovos coloridos, dá pra soltar a imaginação e criar bastante. Na próxima semana eu trarei um passo-a-passo de lata reciclada que vira uma cestinha, bem simples de fazer. Escolha uma gravura e vem fazer comigo, vamos inspirar outras pessoas a fazer também? Mostrando o quanto é fácil, gostoso, barato e está ao alcance de todos ;o) Beijos e um ótimo final de semana ♥

its just one week to go now until easter and the shops are full of cards, decorations, and gifts. the chance are you are either thinking about designing cards for easter 2012 or buying cards for this year - so with this in mind i'll be posting some snapshots of things i have seen on the UK market this easter. starting with my favourite shop paperchase where they have a whole selection of styles for all ages and tastes.

I was perusing the seasonal section of Target as I far too often do, and came across the prettiest Easter nonpareil sprinkles. Obviously, I bought them. And then I proceeded to cover eggs in them. Because isn’t that the logical thing to do!? Sprinkles are the new glitter, after all! These sprinkle Easter eggs are …
