Back in the UK

Yes, I was on holiday the last two weeks. Omar and I visited his parents in Toronto as we have been doing almost every year since we have been together.
I am jet lagged, going West is fantastic as I get to wake up at a decent hour, going East is not that easy for me.
Tomorrow I am demonstrating at The Glitter Pot, hopefully I wont be as sleepy as today. Come along to check my creations using die cutting and punches, my favorite products.

Craft Barn demo

This is how one part of my table look at the end of Sunday. It was a really busy two days!
The lovely and super talented Francoise Read was there and so were Kay Carley, Carol Cann doing lovely stuff with metal, Julie Hickey was there only on the Saturday but ojh boy did she make lovely cards or what, Sue Roddis whose work I have been admiring for a long time but never met in person before, and many more.

Leandra from Paperartsy was there and, as usual, her work was so inspiring. The picture above shows some of her work displayed on the weekend.

And of course, Sandra Dry was also there with super creations that featured her Kadoodles stamps (find them here).
I took so many more photos of each and every one of the tables, as everyone there is so talented, but as I only had my little camera most of them are not very good. So forgive me for not being able to share.

The Craft Barn Big Demo

This weekend The Craft Barn is running their yearly June Extravaganza event which is not be missed. There are so many super talented demonstrators that I am not going to list them because they are seventeen of them!
I will be demonstrating the Slice, which I love now. I say now because I need to confess that the first one I got wasn't working properly and thought not very much of it. But as soon as I got another one and the Noteworthy and Basics 2 cartridge, I was totally in love. It is so easy to operate and the shapes are beautiful.

Wickfort

Nest Saturday, the 30th of May, I will be demonstrating the Slice at Wickord Carfts in Essex using lovely papers and stamps as well. For more info click here.
Come along if you can!

More Rosettes

Last Saturday while at Crafts U Love I created a couple of cards that I was quite pleased with. And that makes the blog just because, if you read the post on that day, realize that I usually not that happy how the cards I end up after a day of demos. That is why i like to make a few samples before the demo that are going to be the real samples. Making beautiful cards during demos is harder just because I try to show the technique or product rather than the design aspect of cardmaking.
But this lovely paper from Cosmo Cricket made me want to create a simple card with a big rosette in the middle, bare in mind that the size of the folded card is 6 x 6".

Crafts U Love

Tomorrow I will be at Crafts U Love demonstrating all sorts of lovely craft stuff, like how to make rosettes and other cute and gorgeous stuff.
Come along from 10 am until 4pm.
