Recycling Christmas!

Don't get me wrong - I love updating my blog - really I do, but life seems to get in the way! I really envy people who seem to do all that life throws at them, and update their blog on a daily basis.
I've been feeling a little under the weather over the past couple of days, firstly the dreaded D & V bug struck, then just as I was getting over that, I started with a sore throat and a general grotty feeling. This does not make for a happy Clare! I hate feeling unwell (well, I hear you ask - who does!), and usually on a day to day basis I'm quite a healthy so it really knocks me for six when I feel out of sorts. And my life doesn't seem to let up when I feel pants. Cards still have to be made, dinners cooked and children taken to school and put to bed. No rest for the wicked.

Anyhoo, whilst I'm sat in front of the TV trying to convalesce (just before our Am Dram Panto Practice!) I thought I would update the old bloggaroonie with a card or two. I made these cards a good while ago, but as is the case lately they have been collecting dust on my shelf until I took a photo of them yesterday.


The two cards above were made from a recycled something...can you tell what it was? Well, I'll tell you...It was a Starbucks paper carrier bag.! I have wanted to do this for ages, there is something about white on Kraft cardstock that I absolutely adore. I added a little lime tartan paper to the second card from the Papermania Summer Bloom Collection from Stephanie Dyment, and a scalloped border. Even the paper string is the handle from the Starbucks carrier!


I love retro, and these papers are just up my street! However, I'm stumped as to where I got them from! They are digital papers and i have a feeling that the polkadot one may be a Pink Petticoat paper, but I'm sorry I really can't recall where I got the retro bauble one from . The greeting is from a very old woodware set I've had for eons, and a button and scrap of ribbon finishes the card.

This card was again made from scraps... ooo how I love to use scraps! The snowflakes are from a Basic Grey Chipboard pack ( I think it might be offbeat), again very simple - but I love the simple style at the moment. and these colours together look just great!

Anyhoo, that's it for now, If anyone has any tips for juggling life and a blog, I'd love to hear them! Better get off to Am Dram darling!

Some Fantasmagorical Wonderous News!

Hi All!

Well as you can see, I'm back from Ireland, and back from my fantastic holiday to Walt Disney World in Florida (more about that later)! About 5 pounds fatter but I don't think that's bad for two weeks in the US. I must have perspired (ladies don't sweat) the rest of the poundage off - no lie, it was around 100% humidity every day and like sitting in a oven with the roasting light on. Defnitely hotter this August than 10 years ago in my opinion, but that's global warming for you.

Anyway, I'll do what the title says and move on to my Fantasmigorical Wonderous News! I was going to leave a post dated post to post (ooo lots of posts) whilst I was on holiday, but I've had many a one fail on me, posting too early (Ie straight away or not at all) so I thought I would wait 'till I returned.

Anyhoo, I'm soo pleased to finally be able to let you know that I will now be writing a monthly column for Quick Cards Made Easy! As our friends over the pond would say..."I'm super excited!"

I start with Issue 79, out in just a little while from now on the 14th September. So, have a look and do let me know what you think!

To celebrate I thought I'd leave you with a little card! Who needs an excuse for a card anyways!



This is a card I made before I went away on my hols, I made a bunch of them to send to family and friends when a card is required, as is often the case. I put different greetings on, but you know, a butterfly suits any occasion. I paper peiced thisold but gorgeous Whispers Butterfly stamp onto papers from the Papermania Red hot and Sunshine Capsule Collections, and the greeting stamp was given to me by my dear Best Friend Sheila from her trip to Oz. I love it!

Well, that's all for tonight, I'm uncomfortably full after having fish and chips for my tea, and frankly leaving a post here after not doing so for some time has left me exhausted. I will share piccies and stories about WDW another time, as always, drama followed us around!

Off to the Emerald Isle...

I really can't wait - now that all the hard work has been done, I'm high on life at the thought of travelling to the Emerald Isle for a two day demo at David Walsh School and Office Supplies in Dungarvan, Ireland. Apparently it's a beautiful place and I can't wait to see it - and to meet all the avid crafters that David has told me all about. I'm off with Sheila Halliwell, me bezzy - who is also demoing, so we're sure to have a scream of a time. It will be great to see Cliona too!I'll be sure to take lots of photos.

Well, I'll leave you now with something I made a while ago.


When I travel for work I have to record my mileage, and I usually forget - leaving me wondering where I've been etc! So, when I had that time off work I zsushed up this little notebook to keep in my car so I can write down all the details. All the supplies are We R Memory Keepers.

When I showed it to David, he couldn't stop laughing! When I asked him why he was laughing so much he said - Goodness you can tell you're a crafter, anyone else would have a plain book!

Rather be embellished than plain!

Well, better set off for Sheila's house, don't want to miss the plane!

AWOL...Again!

Sorry I've been AWOL again..give me 50 lashes with the cat o'nine tails and let's call it quits? I truly have meant to update daily, as I love doing my blog, but as some of you may find, crafting, housework, family and friends seem to get in the way! That's how it should be, life is for living - and in the real , not the virtual world. Still I love it here.

We filmed Creativity! TV last week and as usual a good time was had by all. Everyone loved the cupcakes I took baked by my friend Michelle, and as you can imagine I was very popular - I've never seen so many men in the studio! We also had a visitor in the CCTV studio - Linda (owner of Blue Summerhouse Design blog) , who had won a competition to spend a day with us at the studios. She had made a really gorgeous card with the Penelope and Percy Collection, which you'll get to see in a future episode. It was lovely to speak to someone who is as passionate about her crafting as me!
On Thursday I'll be travelling to Ireland with my Bestest Friend Ever and docrafts colleague Sheila Halliwell for a two day demo starting on Friday 30th July at David Walsh School and Office Supplies in Dungarvan. Cliona Larkin will also be demonstrating - it really will be great to see her again, as the last time I saw her was in February. I could listen to her gorgeous accent forever and a day, and I really can't wait to demo, just to hear that gorgeous Southern Irish accent. It's certainly going to be a crafty weekend by the Sea! I plan to sample a real Irish Guinness - David already has my order behind the Bar!Sheila and I have also promised one another that we will get up early and have a walk on the beach - until it's time for us to get up of course! For more information about the two days, and to book a place click here.
An then... not long after I get back from Ireland, we're off on our long awaited holiday to DISNEY WORLD, Florida! I simply cannot wait - really, I can't! It's the third time we've been, David and I went for our honeymoon, and then again we shared our experience with Joe when he was nearly three. Now we go again to celebrate our 10 year Wedding Anniversary. This time we're staying at WDW Port Orleans Resort, the previous times we've stayed at All Star Movies. The DWD resorts are simply the best!!! Can you tell how excited I am? I'm simply bouncing off the walls! I love EVERYTHING about it - it truly is where magic lives. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but we wouldn't all so to be the same.
Anyhoo, seeing as I've been away for a little while, I think its about time I shared a card.

Here's a card I made with free papers from Simply Cards and Papercrafts one night when I just wanted to make a card. You know, it's about 10.30pm and the urge suddenly hits you. I love these designs and the colours are just perfect for this time of year. I don't know if you can see, but I added some Anita's 3D Clear Gloss Finish to the dots on the flower. I ♥ that stuff!
That's all for now folks. see you soon, and not too long this time!

All the fun of the Fayre!

Hi there!

Sorry for my long absence - I really have missed blogging over the past few days, but no matter how I try and post short snappy posts, it never really happens, and before I know it an hour has gone past and I haven't got on with what I should be doing!

Friday's show went very well, and it was great to spend the evening before with my best friend Sheila Halliwell. After our shows we went for a spot of lunch and the recently opened Peterborough Garden Park, and it was really lovely, although very hot - I would stick my neck out to say that it felt like the hottest day of the year so far! I SO need a car with air con {and a bigger boot, but that's another subject altogether - don't even get me started on that one!}.

So when I got back home on Friday, did I kick back and enjoy a glass of vino? No, I had to start getting ready for the local summer fayre - Woottonstock. I was having a stall and I had done virtually nothing to be ready for it - and there was so much I wanted to do. I stayed up until 4am....FOUR AM! I seriously think I should have my nonce looked at sometimes! When I couldn't keep my eyes open or my back from causing me pain any longer I crawled into bed, only to have to be up for 8am to reserve my table and get ready for the day. I had also promised the organisers I would do some make and takes so at the eleventh hour I was running around like a headless chicken collecting this and that to make up a 'make a card' table. I honestly thought I was going to have a heart attack I was so uptight!

So, to cut a long story short {'TOO LATE' I hear you shout!} the day went really well, and a pretty penny was raised for charity, so all's well that ends well. Here are just a few snaps of the day.

Here's the lovely Michelle with her cupcake business {The Lincolnshire Cupcake Company} with her scrummy cakes, and a new addition to her fantastic cake designs - her egg boxes! Aren't they just amazing!




This is the lovely Emma {*waves*} HI Emma!!! I told you I'd put this photo on my blog! Emma doesn't normally dress like a Pirate - well not in public any way. She was manning the hidden treasure stall, you know - where you choose a square and if the treasure is hidden underneath it, then you win the treasure - in this case a metal detector - how cool is that! Also on the piccy is her lovely husband and her gorgeous little boy - he really is such a sweetheart, always with a smile!

Now, today we've done a show with the lovely Martyn - what a one to keep me on my toes! I promised some sneeky peek behind the scenes photographs, but as of yet I haven't had a chance to get any - it's just in and out {of the studio!}. All I managed to get was one of me just after I had finished setting out my wares {taken my myself, hence missing part of my face} and then one of Martyn and I straight after the hour, and I mean straight after - about 15 seconds to be precise. It's a little out of focus, taken by magic hands - also known as shaky hands in this instance, but it's still a lovely piccy all the same.

Half past seven in the morning, and I've been up for two hours...spot the blood shot eyes?!


I've my last hour tomorrow {for this week at least} at 2pm, so I'll try to get some more sneeky snaps then. They've been decorating the green room, and hopefully that will be finished tomorrow so I'm told. Whoo Hoo!

So until next time, stay out of trouble, or at least don't get caught!
