A sneaky peak.............RWAV Spring

As promised another sneaky peak using the new stamp set to be launched by Little Claire later this week.  Their RVAW 4 seasons set is brilliant.  I had such fun working with the many aspects.......only problem being using different colour pallets for the different seasons meant...................a chaotic floor space whilst I was working.  I promise I did tidy everything all away carefully!

I really did enjoy the challenge of putting together components to reflect our spring...............the leaf is created using the leaf die from Little Claire,,,,,,,,,,  xxGaynor

Sneaky Peak...................Room with a View 4 Seasons and a Camp Set.

I have felt very spoiled and had such pleasure working with the latest stamp sets to be released next week by Little Claire.

This stamp set will be "live" from Little Claire next week.  An amazing set.......one big window stamp with four little outside views................for the four seasons.  Today's Special - Summer.........well we are promised a mini heatwave this weekend............

This set is the absolute all year round set...............little words which stamp beautifully on the comfy cushion on the window seat.......all you need to do is decide on your colour scheme and "be a little creative!" 

The stamp set retails at £8.99  however if you would like to purchase in advance, please phone 0151 342 5715'  (Little Claire Ltd) and quote DT Gaynor when phoning  and you will receive a free gift........and be able to purchase before the stamp set is uploaded onto their website.

Steve from Little Claire will be uploading free videos next week to support the launch of these stamps.

Okay another sneaky peak.....................a camping set.........a set for a multitude of events.......which may also appeal to the men folk in our lives.  This stamp set can again be purchased ahead of the launch......order as above and priced at £8.99 http://www.littleclaire.co.uk/

More cuties

Just back from taking our daughter back to college.................I always hate saying goodbye.....I know I should be used to it by now but I'm not...........she thinks she is all grown up......but even at 17 she will always be my baby.

We shared a super Sunday Pub Lunch near Nantwich.......definately only needing a very light tea a lot later on.

Have Port Sunlight planned for next weekend.............shopping list at the ready.......even though the brief is as always just going for a look ......just going for new ideas.....okay I know we are all familiar with the brief.

Decided to post two further cards created using the square hedgehog stamp from Little Claire.  As per normal, lots of pro markers, adhesive lace - which I love just not sure where to purchase further supplies - I've had it that long.  Some glitter glue, Martha Stewart punches and of course adhesive pearls and the new sentiments from Little Claire.

The spotty ribbon is also from Little Claire.  I chose to layer up one little "hog" on each card.......

Punch butterflies are an Anna Griffin punch.

Full week  at work this week, bet it won't only be me finding things "normal".............................but only 3 weeks until half term..................I love my jobxx  Gaynor

Enjoying Polling Day!

I'm sure that not many folk would make such a statement............but when you work in a Primary School that is a designated Polling Station.................well a treat.  I have been into school today and done 4 hours pottering.......without the children, bless all their little hearts.......and the classroom wall display looks fabulous, all full of minibeasts, a tree and even a washing line.  You would be amazed how many maths challenges can come from one wall display.......the caterpillar is even wearing boots...........am set to tell the class that perhaps "little fairies have been at work in their classroom...........yep it is lovely working with a class of 5 year olds.............magical.  Okay I will let on it was I.......after a little while.

I promised earlier in the week that I would post further pics of the cards I created using the beach huts stamps.................so true to my word here are the additional ..... using the fabulous sentiment stamps from Little Claire......and all the usual ingredients in my designs.

Meet the Hedgehog family.

Sorry couldn't resist..........these cute characters just make me smile.  The Little Hedgehogs in a square is a single stamp from Little Claire which can be ordered directly from them through their website http://www.littleclaire.co.uk/

The cute sentiments too are from Little Claire - 12 in a set and they are fab......don't think that there will be many occasions when one of the sentiments isn't applicable - very soon to be released......check out Create and Craft later this month.......further details re Steve on Create and Craft can be found on their website.

The lace panel is created using adhesive lace on a roll.........which I purchased from Lakeland when they used to have a fab craft section- such a pity that they don't "craft" anymore..........I bought it just incase and now it has become my new "Craft best friend"

Coloured using my trusty Pro Markers...........backing papers from themed pads......which again I've had for ages.......butterflies created using punches, including a little used Anna Griffin punch......(I glue only the body of the butterfly which allows the wings to sit "off" the card) additional border punch Martha Stewart............which when carefully lined  up also acts as a fancy double sided border.  Plus tiny crystals, adhesive pearls and a "dash" of glitter glue........I have also used adhesive foam pads under the sentiments and an individual hedgehog in each card to add further dimension.

Hope that you like these cheery characters too.............

More Beach Huts from Little Claire.

This blustery weather is so like walking along the sea front, that I felt more beach hut cards were needed!  Any excuse really.........

Here's another card created using the Beach Hut Stamp Set from Little Claire.......not using the sketch this time...............

The little sentiment stamp is also from Little Claire..................the sentiments come on a sheet of 12 and they are fab (think they are being launched later this month)............Coloured using Pro Marker pens, Martha Stewart punches, card candy and as per me a little glitter glue.

Hopefully will post an additional couple throughout the week.xxGaynor
