Designing cards for various friends, 'zines and family. The gorgeous weather has meant for some hot work...my little studio gets so hot in this weather with the sun shining directly through the window onto my desk. It's so wonderful to see the sun shine at last, but not so good in a heated craft room!

My CreativeCrafterUK blog has been updated a number of times with postings. One's about the wonderful blogger and designer Cathe Holden - I love her style! She has been very creative with beans over on her blog 'Just Something I Made.'

I have also been rather addicted to a new book called Drip. Dot. Swirl. which is full of patterns and means I have loads of new patterns to use in my design projects - I have been asked to review the book. I love reviewing products - especially when they're so cool.

Just spotted the winners of the recent Trimcraft Designer signed album from LLB. Congrats to all the winners - I'm very envious. (LLB is one of my design heroes!)

So that's the latest update...

Update - just added another project to the blog using some freebies from an old magazine.
Love reading all your comments. I really appreciate the time and trouble you go to, to leave comments. So I hope you like my new Best Wishes card. Check it out by following the link below.

Just created a very girlie birthday card for my fashionable, shopaholic friend. Check out my blog for pictures (follow link below). I had great fun making it, especially using the lovely patterned papers and gorgeous rubber stamp.

Just updated my personal blog with details of a very inspiring Calafornian graphic designer's blog. I love her American vintage style.

Designing projects, creating cards - it's all go here in my crafting studio! Thought you would be interested to see my latest very girlie card on my personal blog (link below) and there will be some more cards shortly showcasing those fabulous Crafts Beautiful papers from back in 2007...I'll get some more photographed as soon as I can and uploaded.

By the way, did you see Laurence Llewelyn Bowen on ITV's This Morning the other day - I did like his pretty peacock feather embellished mirror created with glass outliner paste and over-sized sequins. I love his style!
