Valentines already!

It's Valentines week over on the Craft Barn Blog and I made a bright pink and red card using Crafty Individuals stamps. This is how it started off:

Demoing

I'm demoing at the Craft Barn this Saturday 2 February. I have promised to behave myself this time and not cause general chaos!
I'm going to be using the Crafty Individuals Alice Palace stamps both with other CI stamps::

and with patterned papers:

Haven't finished this card yet - thought I'd do that on Saturday with some stamping in black and perhaps a tiny bit of a contrasting colour.

So, if you can, come along and see what I get up to!

Thanks for looking!

January tag

Seeing Michelle Webb's calendar journal over on the PaperArtsy blog made me think of a calendar I made for a Craft Barn demo at the end of last year. It was made with size 6 manila tags and PaperArtsy stamps, Distress reinkers and markers and various other bits and pieces.
I thought I'd show you January's to start off with:

The idea was sort of time moving on - well no, actually I just liked the stamp and time seemed to fit in with New Year!
If I remember, I'll show you the other tags as the year goes on!

Thanks for looking!
