New Halloween Stuff!

Just a quick post as its STUPID o'clock in the morning and my eyes feel like I've been poked in them with sharp sticks but I just HAD to get the new halloween stuff online before I had any chance of sleep!

As you know the new 'Twilight' spray inks are in stock and proving VERY popular so snap yours up here!

As I just LOVE Halloween I've also started uploading some of the stuff I've been designing (there is more to come very very soon - yay!) tonight I uploaded a few more sheets and this fabbo mini digi kit...

Grab yours here for an absolutely bargainous £2.00!

Now I'm off to bed as I have a LOOOOOONG day tomorrow of sample making (I will be at Alexandra Palace at the weekend for the Big Stamp & Scrapbooking Show) and demo prep - I will be showing some fab techniques with the spray inks and Ink-A-Balls and generally hovering around the ScrapShed stand trying to be useful :o) thats stand 50 by the way so come and say hi! (and watch my demos - I think I'm on at 2pm both days - will confirm!)

I'm just going to write a quick post for the Afternoon Tea with our first DT showcase in readiness for the big reveal and subs details - I should have some news on when that will be very very soon - I'm itching to get my first kit and I know the other DT girls are too!

The end of a Busy Week!

So its Friday again, this one has seemed to take two weeks to come! But after a very busy week it is much welcomed. Today, amongst other things, I managed to do a whole layout! This is using some of my new sprays which will be on the website this weekend for you to get hold of and some of my current favourite papers. Firstly, from Collage Press's Scrooge and Marley range, this paper is sooo beautiful I LOVE it!

But of course, the only thing better than lovingly collecting and stroking paper is wrecking it! So I distrssed the edges with my scissors and ink and made it look like this instead...

Much better! Then I added a fine mist of one of my new sprays from the limited edition set. I also used a bit of Tim Holtz paper from the Lost and Found stack at the top and another of my mists on the background and at the sides.

And here is the final layout of my sisters, they were making zombie faces for me so I could use it in altered art, I don't think they had to try too hard ;o) mwahahahahahahaha

Have lovely weekends and pop back if you can to see the new products I'll be adding to my website over the weekend :o)

A Lazy (ish) Sunday

Started the day working on my Creative Entrepreneur journal, my little sister bought me the Creative Entreprenuer book for my birthday and I have been working on my journal for the last few weeks following the exercises in the book, I have to say I've had some quite surprising results but its nice to get everuything on paper and really does give you a clear road map of where you're going and what you want to achieve!

I tried to make OH a pie for Sunday dinner, it looked yummy but didn't taste quite as I had expected unfortunately, I'm not the greatest cook on the world* (*understatement of the year) but my pie is usually OK! I'm losing the few cooking skills I did possess! Ah well, I barely do it anyway so I don't spose it matters that much and he enjoyed it - quote "I quite like it when it's all soggy" bwahahahahhaha!

And I did go to the trouble of fashioning our initials and a heart out of the remaining pastry - that makes up for it lacking a bit in the taste department right?

This afternoon I uploaded a few more downloads to Craftsuprint, they havent't been verified as of right now but you should be able to see them soon! I'm off to doodle a few things for my own site now. I also tested some colours for a limited edition set of sprays coming to the website soon, so look out for those!! I also need to work on some things for the other things I have going on in the background although I will be doing that from the comfort of the sofa snuggled up with OH and fuzzybutt :o)

Luckily I treated myself to a chocolate cherry cake from M&S yesterday so some of that with some Sainsburys Chantilly vanilla cream has made up for my pie attempt!

I'm on the hunt for another book to read after finishing Eat, Pray, Love (thank you to whoever recommended that one!) so any recommendations please??

Back Again!

Just looked and can't believe I haven't blogged since Thursday! I have been very busy but big apologies, that was very rubbish of me!

I must quickly mention that the lovely Lisa from my Design Team has some Blog Candy up for grabs so pop over and try your luck! (not just yet, at least pretend to be a bit interested in my comings and goings!)

The Bank Holiday weekend just whizzed past, I had a fab night with some friends on Friday, one of those unplanned things that turn into the best type of nights as you have no expectations to disappoint you, was nice to relax! The rest of the weekend was mostly working, although I did manage to track down the perfect size storage box for my Promarkers - I was so pleased! I did have them in the lovely storage thingys that Letraset sent me but I like to take them downstairs with me or to bed if I'm finishing something up so wanted something I could carry them round in- am now a very happy bunny (its the simple things, it really is!)

Today I saw the feature on me in Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine, made me do a little squeal as I ripped it open in the shop - I think the poor lady in there was slightly alarmed - she already thinks I'm a bit odd as everyday I buy cherry tictacs - they are SERIOUSLY yummy, every food should be cherry flavoured! I also saw that Woodland Whimsies was featured in the 'Ten of the Best' feature in Papercraft Inspirations which was a nice surprise as I had no idea!

I'm hoping to get some inky play time this week as I promised you some Promarker tutorials and I want to show you lots more things with my Sprays and Ink-A-Balls, which you will be seeing a LOT more of (thats all I'm saying for now...) thanks to everyone that has placed orders for them - it has kept OH out of my hair packing while I've been working on more stuff! LOL

Today is also the last day of my August Guest Designer, Sue's term, so farewell Sue! but welcome....... NICOLA, our fabby September Guest Designer who I'll be telling you a bit more about tomorrow. She will be setting next weeks challenge for us as well so look out for that, its a good one (you may want to get your Christmas Cheer CD ready, thats all I'm saying... LOL)

Now I must get on, I'm still working on my top secret project as well as scheduling some stuff for the Afternoon Tea kit clubs - you will be hearing a lot more about those soon too!

I'm going away now so hop on over to Lisa's blog for that candy - good luck!

Thank You!

I want to thank everyone who watched the shows yesterday and who sent me lovely messages, texts, e-mails, tweets (and orders!) I got to work with the lovely Stephanie Weightman yesterday to launch my new line of spray inks

and my FABULOUS new Ink-A-Ball product!

The Ink-A-Ball is a roll on ink which you can create sooooo many different effects with - I demo'ed loads on the show and have uploaded two YouTube videos here showing some of the techniques - I will upload more over the coming weeks showing you even more things you can do with this fab product! To get hold of yours click here!

I also showed my new Doodle Doll Collage Packs and Stamps, also available on my website- the collage sheets are also available as individual downloads so you can top up as you need them! The collage sheets come pre-coloured and in black and white so you can get creative with your Promarkers! (any excuse!)

Today is a new challenge over on the Challenge Blog - this week it was Donna's turn, she decided on a Monochrome Challenge - I havent had time to do my own project as I was so busy with the show but please pop over to take a look at the Design Team's work, it so fantastic - Donna's project was AMAZING!

Please also pop over and visit Sue's Blog - Sue is our lovely Guest Designer for August and her term has nearly come to an end, although I don't think this is the last you will see of her and we will try and get her back again soon with some of her lovely projects!

Today I started reading 'Eat, Pray, Love' and I have to say, although I'm still quite near the beginning (about a third of the way through) so far this is the best thing I've read since 'The Shack' there is so much I can identify with and if it carries on that way I may even sit still for a while and watch the film!

Thats all from me tonight as I have a load of emails to reply to before I finally hit the sack! Luckily this weekend is a bank holiday so I'm going to give myself and OH the day off and we are going to spend the whole day curled up in bed with fuzzybutt watching old films and stuffing our faces - isn't that what bank holidays are all about?! i'm not sure I will resist taking one of my art journals or sketch books with me though, as usual I have a MILLION ideas for new things which I'm sure you will see popping up soon.
