Stepping down from Kraftyhands

for the time being anyway. Ive very much enjoyed being on the Design team for Mike and Ian. They have left the door open for me for the future, if I would like to go back. thanks boys.
I have  Christmas work to fulfill for a show on Create and Craft next month, so you will still see Kraftyhands on my blog. Plus I will still be using my Kraftyhands CDs.
Thanks for dropping by.

Pretty In Pink at Kraftyhands Blog Challenge.

This month on Kraftyhands Blog Challenge, we ask you to make a "Pretty in Pink" card or project.
For my card I have used and 8x8 card blank. I used the Floral Fantasia CD, available in the KH online shop or at a Craft Fair near you.
Printed on Matt photo paper, the colours are really beautiful. I had to cut the main panel down to fit my card as the design is really for an A5 card. So just a bit trimmed off each side made a beautiful topper. This comes with decoupage as well, although I didnt get that far as I was behind getting this ready for the challenge. they last couple of weeks have been really busy.
Well enough chatter, I hope we see your creations on KH blog challenge this month.
The top 3 will win a blinkie for their blog and if you use Kraftyands CDs or stamps or toppers on your card, you will be in with a chance of winning a £20 voucher to spend in the shop.
See you soon.

Todays cards feature the latest Cd coming from Kraftyhands. You can pre-order this CD which is released on 1st July.
I just love my horses, so was thrilled to be asked to make a couple of cards for this CD. Well I did more than a couple, I went to town on these.

Published in Papercraft Essentials No,95

My first and probably last published cards in Papercraft Essentials. A great experience though. even if it was rather frightening. I had a brief to make 7 matching cards Using The Kraftyhands Kew Floral CD. I had to give step by step instructions for each card. I was sure I would miss something out.
Thanks go to the boys at Kraftyhands Mike and Ian, for there trust in me to get this right and for their proof reading and adjusting anything I missed.
Yes you have seen the cards before, as they have been on my blog and on Create and Craft TV.
That was all agreed beforehand.
Thank you for looking and I do hope those of you who bought this CD, enjoy it as much as I did and still do.
Watch out for the guys tomorrow, on Create and Craft, Craft Clinic, at 11am.
