Carry On Regardless!

Oh wow! I really meant to blog last night to reassure you all that I had not succumbed to the after effects of de glittering my room, I really did, but I have honestly not had a minute to come on here to make sure that no one has called the crafting police! I haven't had the squad team burst through the front door shouting "Foam square backs - clear" yet, so I assume that no one got to that stage yet (I think I'm absolutely loosing it - I need to get out and stop breathing in the fumes of my permanent pens I think!).

Only four more cards to go and then I've completed my projects for the march Issue of the Do Crafts Creativity! Magazine. Can I got a Woop Woop!? Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't enjoy it, I just think that when you have so many projects to complete ( I had 17 for the mag) in so little time, it's such a relief when you know you're going to make it.

Then I have a card to do for Project of the Week (which I like to sing to the music of Harry Hill's TV burp "TV Highlight of the Week") for DO Crafts, and then catalogue my ideas and sketches for the next collection to be included in Clare Curd's Signature Range (Can I just say, I don't take myself seriously when I write that, it seems very strange to have a range with my name on it!)

Next week Sheila and I are travelling down to Dorset to Do Crafts Head Office for a meeting about the Craft Show at Olympia where Sheila is running card making workshops and I will be in the demonstration theatre. The show is running from 19-22nd March, so why not come along and say hello! I also have some Videos of the Week to write and film, and some cards to make too, surprise surprise! I just know that Sheila and I will have an absolute ball, both down in Dorset and at the Olympia. We both work hard and when the going gets tough we just 'Carry On Regardless' and have a laugh whilst doing it!

Now, for the sneak for today. This is a card for the March Creativity! Magazine, and again it's using the Daisy and Dandelion Collection created and designed by Erica Martin. This is the stamped image that made me gasp when I lifted the stamp. I just could not believe the detail to the image. It's just gorgeous!

Well, better get back to those last four cards! Lots of love to you all!

I have to admit....I was getting a bit anxious...thought my blog list was broken...."Clare not updated her blog for this long"....a sure sign of craft police...which had me rofl btw.
Thanks for putting a smile on this face this morning.
