Easter Project

So i've actually found five mins, to have a play around with some paper crafting!. Creating new stash takes up so much of my time that i rarely get the time to just sit and play. It wasn't just for my own benefit though. i created a simple little template that i'm sharing with you to offer something just that little bit different at easter. Easter eggs these days seem to be so expensive for the amount of chocolate you actualy get, and whilst us crafters are creative and are already eyeing up the easter eggs in the cupboard wondering what we can do with the box, it still naffs me off that you pay through your nose for attractive wrapping. Belows little project makes good use of tescos eggs at 99p for about 14, and the new papers in the post below.

you can download the template here

happy easter guys xx

Spring is in the air

Thank you to all those that have made cards with the warren printable set. They are all so smashing. i'll be adding a few more of my favourites in the next couple of days for the april leg of the on going comp. But for now i need to announce the winner of march's leg, and thats michelle. The colour combination used and her gorgeous creations earn her a milly kit, so if you'd like to leave details on how i can get hold of you that be great.

More News!

I'm a little behind with the recent problems, so thought i would jump straight in and offer the first bit of aprils freebies.

Thanks to everyone for their continued support it means so much to me. Be back real soon with more coordinating freebies, that project i keep meaning to add and a few bits from the design team.
