WICKED WEEKEND

We have another Bank Holiday here in the UK this weekend (Hooray!) but it is almost the last of the year, which seems to be flying by so quickly!

I'm finally getting back into the swing of things after a few days off, and I just couldn't resist the charms of the new TGF Roll Call kit.

Flirty Edward was screaming "Use Me" and hey, it would have been rude to refuse! :)

I have coloured him with Grey Tone Promarkers and embellished my card with Prima E Crystals.

Next week we have lots of fun in store with some special announcements, Previews and maybe some wonderful blog candy too. Be sure to join us for the fun.

Myself and Colette are out for our good friends Hen Party this Saturday (afternoon tea followed by a Cocktail making class) and it's sure to be a truly wicked weekend.

Thanks for stopping by, Katie x

SWIRLY GIRLY PART 2

Today I have another girly card to share and some exciting news to reveal!

First my card. I have used TGF Olivia and her adorable cat (who I've decided to call Chester) from the OA Buddies set.

The flourishes today are courtesy of my Sizzix big shot and Die, and the super cute pink polka dot flower is from Prima 'Love Story' collection.

I have coloured Olivia with Promarkers and finished my card with a Friends tag charm.

Stamp, Promarkers, flowers and Charms available HERE from Nutcrafters.

Now onto some extra special News. You may have noticed our Blog Hop button up in our side bar for the past few days. Well Monday 24th May sees a very exciting new release over at http://www.nutcrafters.com/, but hopefully you can join us for a day of fun hopping and Prizes on Sunday for our 'Here Comes the Bride' Blog Hop! Tomorrow we will have a early sneak peak at the new release, and you can get all the details for how to win some stamping goodies.

See you tomorrow, Colette x

SPRING FLING

We are having a touch of Spring fever over at our Nutshells blog at the moment!

Our current challenge is to create a Spring inspired card, so think flowers, sunny colours or cute baby animals... whatever reminds you of Spring.

For my card I have used Cutie Pie Thankful Rae, whom I always think looks springy! I have coloured her with the seasonal Promarker sets and embellished my card with Prima Camelot Roses, which by coincidence is this weeks Prize! We are offering one lucky winner a set of Prima Camelot Roses and their choice of any Nutcrafters digi stamp single or set.

Our wonderful DT team have created some fab cards for inspiration and we also have our two new Guest DT members joining us early for this challenge. Sadly this will be our friend and enormously talented DT member Jacilynn's last card for our Nutshells so please pop over and show them all some love.

We hope you can join in the fun, you have until next Tuesday May4th to enter.

Thanks for stopping by, Katie.

NEW FRIENDS

It has been another lovely start to a new week here in Manchester, and we have some sad news and good news to share.

Sadly at the end of April our lovely DT member Jacilynn will be leaving us, and we have had the difficult task of filling her talented shoes!

After our DT call a few weeks ago, and some difficult choices to make, we have some new members to welcome to our team.

We have the lovely Kathy joining us as a Full time DT member

And for May and June we have two wonderful Guest designers joining us, Loz and Lynn

Please hop over to their blogs and say hi!

My card seemed fitting for our introduction of new friends. I have used OA Buddies and coloured with Promarkers Autumn shades.

Thanks for stopping by, Katie.

QUICK CARD

Hi all. What a week, new tax year meaning lots of paper work :( but also lots of new goodies have arrived today :) I always get that warm fuzzy feeling when we get a new delivery.


We have lots of great items from Prima including what I have used on my card, clear stamp - Little Girls, Cameo Roses Aqua and adorable Prima E line pearls.

We have lots of great new flowers, crystals and clear stamps which come with extra bling ;), and a great selection of new Promarkers from Letraset, including these amazing Rubber Stamping sets 1&2.
