Forever Friends

Evening,

Not sure if you know but Kerry now stocks some Docrafts products.
Among them are some of these really cute Forever Friends.

Here are some samples from the shop that I have accumulated over the last 2 months

Nestabilities are now on their way!!!!

Just to let you know that I have now had it confirmed that the Nestabilites have left England and are on route to Ireland - can't wait - might not sleep tonight.
...... and I think that some pop up dies might be coming from Sizzix too - I know I have quite a big order on the way, but I am not sure yet, what is in it.
I just love deliveries.
Thanks for all the support in Carlow. I will get the cards to Helen to get up on the blog.

Lots of News

My life seems a little hectic - but good hectic rather than bad!! We are packing for Carlow today - with some really fab cards and projects planned for Sunday.
I also had a great haul of post yesterday. We are now official stockists of the new mag that is only available through craft stores - Creative Cardmaking - the new issue arrived yesterday. The complete Penny Black catalogue arrived as well - and I am in love again!! We got new stock from Hero Arts, Woodware, Glitter Girls, and the Flower Fairies from Crafters Companion!!!!

Sizzix Samples

Evening everyone,

Hope ye had a nice St Patrick's Day. I can't believe it is Friday again tomorrow.
Here are pictures of the Sizzix samples that Lisa brought with her last Friday.

Forgot to say thanks to Lisa & Sizzix for all our goodies and prizes that you brought along.

Here is a scrapbook LO which incorporates the new Pop-up templates.
The house pop up is definitely going on my wish list




A decorated notebook



Some door hangers/gifts - the heart is a kind of pop-out - you cut the heart shape from folded paper.





And a few more similar items




And here are some cards











Phew!!!!!!!!

Lots to look at there.

See ye soon

Scrapbooking Sunday

Hi there,

Just realised I haven't posted since Wednesday - bad blogger.
Haven't had chance to catch up with anyone who went to the Scrapbooking class today.

Hope ye enjoyed it.
Posting up photos of Fiona's original LO's.

If anyone who went along today would like to show their versions, you can send me a photo to anblogbui@gmail.com.
We would all love to see them.

These are three lovely LO's but my fave is the last one - the colours are stunning.
Photos just don't do these justice.

Scrapbooking Sneak Peeks

Evening!

Just a quick post. Here are some sneak peaks of Fiona's LO's for Sunday.

They are three lovely LO's one in particular is really eye catching with lovely browns/cream/floral.

She has used one 6x4 portrait photo, one 6x4 landscape photo and a set of four 2x3 pictures.
Fiona used pictures of faces in the larger photos.
Also she used stitching on one LO - so lots to look forward to on Sunday

I am back from Dubai and loaded down

Hi - just a quick note to say that I am back and loaded down with almost 50 kg of stock. Some already here, and some on the way with Fedex. Lovely Ribbons, beads, toppers, threads and yummy stuff.
While I was away lots arrived too ..... The Flower Fairies from Crafters Companion, The Keepsake Boards, and gorgeous bits to go with them, the Red Hot Bed Range .......

Sunday's Scrapbooking Class

Just a quick update on the class.

Posting about the K&Co papers reminded me!!!

I will be posting sneak peeks of the class tomorrow. Fiona has done 3 (yes 3) lovely LO's.
She has used K&Co papers and Sizzix die cuts, alphabets & embossing folders.
She is focusing on faces and making your own embellishments - very appropriate in the current economic climate (did I just use the depressing phrase??? Should ban it from here).

I'm very disappointed to be missing the scrapping day.
So if you haven't already booked contact the shop on 091 504692 or email on ansiopabui@hotmail.com

Sizzix Coffee Morning News

Well I guess I have to tell ye Kerry's exciting news direct from Dubai (sounds exotic doesn't it)

At the Sizzix coffee morning and on the Saturday - we will have amazing demos of
the latest pop-up dies. There is only one set of dies available in the UK - a
demo set - and they are coming to our Shop for a visit - so people can see how
they work. Lisa Brennan is bringing all sorts of new products as yet not seen,
to show us and demo etc, as well as finished samples, photos and give-aways. We
will also have special offers.

And I've arranged to get the morning off and hubby to pick up the kids from school. Looking forward to it.

Card samples from Dublin Workshop

I've been a naughty blogger. Not been on for a few days.
Loads going on that gets in the way of the crafty world. I'm sure it happens to us all.

Anyway got a big bag of card samples from Kerry and here are some of them.
There will be more to follow in the coming days.

These were the cards she did at the Dublin Workshop on 22nd February

Had an email from Kerry in Dubai. Blogger is in Arabic so she won't be posting till she gets back.

But she got the email she was waiting for from Sizzix.

Will post the big news tomorrow......................
