A few Sneak Peeks of What's to Come

Hi Crafters, I couldn't resist the temptation and longer, Michelle is launching her 'Jungle Dreams' collection tonight on Hochanda at 6 pm, with another show at 8 pm. It's your new One Day Special, certainly not one to miss either. It's such a wonderful collection and the samples from everyone are out of this world. Over on the Hochanda Blog, I have included a review and preview of the collection, So I do hope you ill pop over, please do leave some feedback there, if you have time.

Once again, it has been a pleasure to design with this superb collection. I know I seem to say it each time, but it's always true that tie seems to run out before the ideas. I have used such a small amount of the wonderful content, each time I browse I come across more elements I have missed.

If you have ever had one of Michelle's collections before you will know how generous she is with the content, both amount and quality. If you've not tried one of the collections before, I would highly recommend that you do. Every elements is top quality and can be used in any number of ways regardless of the project you are creating.

Thank you ever so much for taking the time to join me today, it's always good to have your company. Just to let you know that tomorrow on the Hochanda Blog, I am beginning a 3 part Journal making series. If I manage to get over 50 Comments on that blog, I will be giving away a 6 x 6 version of the journal at the end of the series. To be in with a chance all you have to do is share that post and leave a comment on the Journal blog. You will get one entry for your comment, so if you leave a comment on each of the 3 in the series you will have 3 chances of being the lucky recipient of the journal. I will repeat this on the blog post tomorrow, in case anyone misses it. Take care and Happy Crafting.

Launch Preview For Sara's Vintage Tea Party Signature Collection

I am sharing a couple of the samples I made for Sara's Vintage Tea Party today. This Signature Collection launches on Hochanda at 6 pm on Monday 12th, so please tune in. This was the first opportunity I have had to work on one of Sara's Signature Collection for a launch, so it was very exciting for me. I suppose I was a little nervous too, but when it arrived I was full of ideas, I wanted to create some simple pieces for those new to craft as well as some more advanced cards. I really believe this collection has something for everyone.

The quality of the elements that make up the collection is superb. The pack of lace for instance is top quality, something you really have to feel to understand. I do hope you will watch the launch and the shows throughout the day for even more inspiration for the Design Team and from Sara's demonstrations.

I will share a couple more tomorrow and start adding the Tutorials after the launch. For now Take care and Happy Crafting.xx

Sample Launch Previews For Leonie's New Collection

Welcome back, How Exciting. I have been itching to share some of the samples I have designed for Leonie's new launch on Hochanda tonight.

It's the age old saying that you shouldn't have favourites, I have loved working with each and everyone of Leonie's collections but this one has been particularly great to work with

My crafting took a totally different direction with some of the designs using this new collection. Not that it cant be used in other ways, but with this one the possibilities really are endless. I usually hate hearing that but I can honestly say it's true with this collection.

Please take some time to visit the other members of the design team to see what they have made from this collection and get even more inspiration.

Leonie Launch Previews Part One

Hello and a very warm welcome to Part One of my post to preview the Brand New Launch tonight from Leonie on Hochanda. Tonight she has not only brought us another wonderful collection of Stamps but she has also introduced her own range of Embossing folders.

There are six sets of stamps in the new collection: Everlasting Love, Doodle Hearts, Floral Tapestry, Love Hearts and last but not least All the Love. These will mix and match beautifully with all of the ranges that Leonie has brought us as well as anything else you have in your crafty stash.

There are also 6 Embossing folders in Leonie's first range. They are: Love Lines, Growing Love, Entwined Love, Bubble Explosion, Forever Swirls and Dotty Heart. These match really nicely with the Die Collection that Leonie released at the beginning of the month, but they are also really nice to use independently.

Thank you ever so much for taking the time to come and see a  small selection of the samples I have made for the launch tonight. I will be sharing some more tomorrow morning and from Saturday I will be sharing each one individually in more detail with step by steps, for all of you who would like to see how they were made.

Please do take the time to visit the rest of Leonie's Design Team. They all do some fantastic work and it's great being in the team with them. They are:
