Papercraft Inspirations Cover!

I was so thrilled to hear from my editor that my project had made the cover of Papercraft Inspirations for the January issue (what a fab way to start the new year!!) but I was even more thrilled to walk into Sainsburys yesterday and see it in real life, eeek! No matter how many times I'm published, it's just as exciting every single time!

I loved making this set of cards using Penny Black stamps with Derwent Inktense pencils and blocks, Sizzix dies and DCWV papers, and I'm so pleased it made the cover! I hope you can pick up a copy, there are so many fantastic projects this issue, it's one not to be missed :o)

It's been a crazy busy week here at Hurley HQ, we've despatched a record number of orders over the last couple of weeks as well as finalising lots of new products and working on other projects and plans for the new year - I'm very lucky to have B and Lisa (my lovely new creative assistant) to help me (and Fuzzybutt for reassuring hugs and woofs throughout the day of course) my Design Team have pulled together the most fantastic projects for something we have planned for you for next week too, I can't wait to show you more! I thought this year had been busy, but with everything we have planned for next year, I think we better hang on to our hats!! So excited...

I'll be back over the weekend to share some more of my December Daily album with you, I hope you can pop back to check it out.

Thank you for dropping by today!

Inspiration Sunday with Craft Superstore

A few weeks ago, Craft Superstore asked me to take part in their 'Inspiration Sunday' newsletter using some DCWV paper stacks. I love Craft Superstore and DCWV - they were some of the first papers I ever used! so of course I said yes immediately and whipped up this quilted card for them...

I used squares of paper from the Hippie Chic and Citrus stacks, trimmed with pinking shears, and sewn together by hand. I then added a Gorjuss girl stamped image coloured with Promarkers, I love this stamp purely because she's wearing a really nice coat and I have a thing for nice coats! lol. I used a stamped greeting (I think from Hero Arts) which I punched out with a circle punch.

Now I must be off, but I will be back tomorrow, and I think I'll have some exciting news to share *fingers crossed* ;o)

Thanks for dropping by today!
