Busy, busy, busy

(I'll give you the template for this box soon...)

It's been a very, very busy time here for the last couple of weeks. We've had more viewers to see our house than at any other time so far. More viewers coming on Saturday....we just need one buyer though! Almost had one, but it didn't work out for them.

It's tricky trying to fit in tidying everything up for viewers and making a mess in my craftroom...and boy...do I make a mess when I get going in there!

These are some of my latest makes with Tonic's newly released dies. As you can see...they're great for those special birthdays and gift giving.

I especially enjoyed making this hand bound album. Every time I make books I realise I have forgotten just how much pleasure it gives me. I'll need to make another one of these some time.

I even made a tissue box slip cover, but thankfully we are all 99% better now in the Smith household, so not needing the tissues any more.

Hope the British weather improves ...especially for all those poor people who have been flooded. So sorry for you.

Take care

Happy New Year

It's been a while since I blogged - I hadn't realised. Life has been rather busy lately with one thing and another and so I apologise for my bloggy silence.

Do you like these butterflies on the top I have just decorated? It's a sample for Tonic Studios featuring one of their gorgeous new releases. The butterfly layering dies. I have cut the dies from flock vinyl which you iron on to the T shirt.  I added some hand stitching and sequins too just for a bit of bling.

Here it is being modelled by my older daughter. (I wish I was that slim)
There are some gorgeous new products coming out very soon, so expect to see a few more sample pictures coming soon. You will see all the design teams gorgeous samples if you keep an eye on Blog Tonic. You can also keep up to date with all Tonic Studio's latest news, products and also great competitions over at their facebook page.

See you again soon!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi, hope you are having a lovely day today.
I'm just dropping by to show you some of the cards I have made recently with Tonic Studios latest dies. These dies are gorgeous! So intricate.

I had a lot of fun making these cards with them.

I'm loving the whole papercut vibe. A little bit Rob Ryan - whose stuff I LOVE!

And now I am trying out some more new dies and creating some new projects with them. But I can't show you just yet...Top Secret!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends.
