Demo Time Again - 20th September 2014

If you like the style of my cards why don't you join me and the lovely ladies at Craftique for a wonderful day of IndigoBlu inspiration. I will be demonstrating the gorgeous new Christmas stamp range, the metallic paints (which are to die for.....esp Cinderella), the opulence of Mega Flakes, as well as stamping on tissue techniques. So much to fit in between 10am and 4pm.

This is the start of my stamping on tissue mannequin, using one of the the Christmas Dinkie stamps in a way that can be displayed all year. I've a few ideas to add to her on Saturday......watch this space.

 I also thought I would share these two cards with you, using exactly the same stamps (Connors Crown Jewels) to create two very different finished cards.

I will have lots of samples to share with you and lots of techniques to inspire. I hope you are able to pop along and say hello. I would love to meet you all.

See you Saturday Xxx

PS - there might be cakes....

Sewing mends the soul.......

I wasn't quite sure what to put together in a tag............ sew this is my second tag of the day (how bad are the puns?!)

I definitely need to improve my photography skills!! (and my jokes)

Tag You're It Challenge

Thank you for stopping by, It's lovely to see you all.

So what have I been up to since my last blog......well I've completed my first demo on behalf of IndigoBlu and I thoroughly enjoyed the day being back in front of fellow crafters. I hope everyone who attended also enjoyed themselves and went home with plenty of hints and tips, I know I did!

I've also been making a few things which I will be sharing with you over the next couple of days. The first is a tag which I'm entering into Polkadoodles Challenge - Tag You're It.

I hope you like it. I've used the Nottingham Lace stamp set by IndigoBlu, as well as a few goodies from my ribbon stash.

Some of you who kindly followed me in the past might like to know that I've changed the login name from alisonscurrah.blogspot.co.uk to craftygirlfriday.blogspot.co.uk so if you would like to keep following me you might have to like me all over again - many apologises Xxx

I've been away too long!

So what have a been doing over the last week or so since I last blogged? Well the normal mundane things, going to work, a few chores here and there, you know how it is. But I've also been doing some more exciting things as well. Making samples for a couple of demos I have coming up (see a few teasers below).

Yesterday I went to the IndigoBlu Open Day at HQ in Retford   http://www.indigoblu.com/ I would highly recommend you go to the next one. I came away with so much inspiration and I hope to be putting it to good use in the very near future.

I've also been a tad naughty and cast on another knitting project! (I might share it with you when the pattern starts to show up) You see I don't just make cards I sew and knit and repair antique jewellery and......and.....and......anything that takes my fancy.

I hope you've been having a wonderfully crafty time to. Thanks for stopping by. Xxx
