Exciting 'news' and Blog Candy!

Blog Candy Post - Please scroll down for newer posts. Thanks.

Evening everyone, I'm back today to finally, officially, share some news. You may have noticed a new blinkie here on my sidebar, a picture on the Docrafts blog or even the announcement of the new Docrafts Creativity Club Design Team and I am thrilled to say I am a DT member!!!

The Creativity Club is a members only club with a huge list of benefits including the exclusive DT projects me and my fellow team mates have been busy creating already!

We will also all be sharing projects on our blogs using the download collections and daily sketches to give non club members a taste of what's available if you sign up as a member and so here is my first DT share, a Thank You card.

This card uses papers from the Retro Prints and You & Me downloads. 

Also from Docrafts are the typography thank you stamp, xcut scalloped rectangle nesting dies and dotted gold ribbon.

Now, to the second part of my post. Emma Collins, Creativity Club manager has kindly offered prizes of a 6 month Creativity Club membership for all of us DT members to share as blog candy giveaways! :)

To be in with a chance of winning this fabulous membership candy all you have to do is become a follower of my blog and leave a comment on this post.

Right a big Good Luck to everyone and I hope to 'see' a few new faces around here very soon. :) Ni. x 

Exciting News!!!!! :)

Good afternoon, I know I said I would upload the Easel Box Card instructions but it's been a busy few weeks, I promise, promise, promise it will be done soon! :)

However today I have some fab personal news to share, here's a pictoral clue:

Yes that's right, I have been accepted on to the Funky Hand Design Gang - I am now a member of the 'Funkettes' lol!

Myself, Debbie, Belinda and Sammylou are all new DT members, you can pop over to Anice's blog to see the official announcement post and find links to the blogs of my new fellow funkettes!

I am so thrilled to be on the DT and have been bouncing around the house for days wanting to share my wonderful news with other crafty minded people, as my family/friends don't really understand what all the excitment is about! I will hopefully be back very soon with my first DT projects to share.

Here, in case you are interested, are a couple of the cards I sent as samples with my application as well as the contents of my blog and Docrafts galleries lol!

This is a card combining different patterns of tonal papers, die cut shapes and two Wellington stamps,

and this card is more CAS and uses the Bexley Black collection and a Lucy cromwell sentiment stamp.

Thanks for stopping by! :) Ni. x

Fabulous news - I'm now a Docrafts demonstrator! :)

...well its fabulous news for me anyway lol!



I can finally reveal what has been taking up all my time recently, yes that's right the post title says it all.

I have been asked to become a docrafts demonstrator! YAY!

I carried out a trial demo with the new July/Aug products a few weeks ago and the prep was definitely a lot of 'work' (although I can't say it was unpleasant!) ;)
It took longer than I realised to work out how to use all the goodies I'd been asked to demo and in the end I made 20 or so projects just for my 3 hour demo!

* All the cards are being added to my DC gallery over the next few days, although I've uploaded a pic here of the full demo table on the day! * I'll also be sure to add a button here in my sidebar to link directly to my demonstrator gallery.*

I will definitely be posting on here a lot more here now as I will be trying to upload all my demo cards along with the products used and the details of how I made them.

Lastly I would like to say a huge Thank You to those few people that knew I'd applied and wished me good luck and also for their congratulations.
Also, to the people that have been over and commented on the new cards already, I'm glad they seem to be ok!
Am now looking forward to my first 'real' demo in September!

Thanks for reading, from a very happy, Ni. :)
