The First SU! Convention...

I am trying to get myself organised for the upcoming convention in Frankfurt which is the first of its kind in Europe and this has been so hard for me recently as for many weeks inspiraion seems to have leaked out of me! As you can imagine all the Demonstrators are very excited and I am no exception. I have finally decided on a theme for the cards that I am to make for general swapping and have made a start this morning! One of my good friends has said that she loves to see the progress of cards in the making so this is for her. Deb here is a sneak peek of what I will be taking with me - If I can decide on how to finish them. I have decided to go with a Bashful Blue theme using the Scandinavian stamp set as I love this colour and the stamp set is a new purchase and I wanted to test it out!

I hope you like what you see and there will be more to come I am making 50 in total, was hoping to do more but I think this is all I can manage unless I don't work until I get back from Frankfurt and someone else does all the housework, washing and cooking LOL!

Thanks for looking Debbi x x x

Shoe Box!

Hi everyone - Sorry not done a proper post for a while - I am beginning to feel better now so am hopefully on the mend and back to crafting! As you are aware I went to a shoe box swap a couple of weeks at Janes gorgeous house - there were five of us in total and I have managed too finish two of the projects! I did finish Margarets on the evening but other than that only made a start on the others! and as I have been unwell since I haven't done much crafting - However y/day I managed to finish Jeanette's project, which I am sure you will agree is beautiful I made the bag on the evening although did not make the cards, I made these last night and I love the colour combinations that Jeanette has used, they work so well together. The papers are Ski Slope and the ribbon is 1/4' grosgrain the colurs used are real red, chocolate chip and old olive. The stamp on the front of the box is from the scandinavian set in the mini catalogue - the cards made are slightly different than the ones that Jeanette made as I don't have the border punch (think I'll haver to get one!)

Hope you like it! Thanks for looking and we'll see what crafting I can do this weekend hubby is away working! Debbi x x x
