Kadoodle new stamps: Carol Cockbain designs

Posted by Isabelle Norris on June 30, 2009

hello,

As promised, the last but not least of the latest Kadoodle stamps are  Carol Cockbain’s designs.  Carol has drawn on real flowers for her designs and she did tell me the names of all of them but it turns out that flower names are like other names and don’t stay in my brain very long! 

KDL-Florabundi

Here are a few samples made by Carol to whet your appetite,  the samples in real life are stunning and much more vibrant than my photos give justice to

Hope you like them.

See you soon

SUE RODDIS WORKSHOPS

Posted by sandyweller on June 28, 2009

Workshops with Sue Roddis

 

 

We have the dates now for the workshops with Sue Roddis.  They are the last weekend in August – Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th.
 

 

Both are full day workshops and are priced at £35per person per day.  This includes all materials and unlimited drinks during the day.  Lunch is not included but this can be reserved at the coffee shop next door or there are plenty of pubs and restaurants in the village for you to try.

What will you be making on Saturday

I want to keep the actual projects a bit of a surprise for you for the day, so the snippet below gives you just a flavour of the project which is a faux metal book . 
SR1

The project is made with foil rather than metal and the picture only shows one page – your book will have several pages.  You  will also be using different Paper Artsy stamps with the foil, inks, and other goodies.  There is flexibility and on the day you can choose alternative stamps and either go with the colours of Sue’s revised project sample or choose your own colour scheme.   

 What will you be making on Sunday
 
On Sunday the project involves one of our wooden desk calendars.  Below is a previous version that Sue has done.  This is just to tease you because again you will be making a different version on the day! 

From this DESK CALENDAR

to this P1010315

You can only book by ringing us on 01342 836398 and places are limited so if you are interested you do need to get in touch,

Happy crafting!

Scrapbook page using Wisteria papers

Posted by Isabelle Norris on June 26, 2009

hi,

Here’s another page using Wisteria papers. I also used Katzelkraft DANS MA MAISON rubber stamps.

Those are two little churches we drove by here in Canada, whilst “exploring” when my parents were here. They are so cute we had to stop and take pictures.

Not just a “girl thing”

Posted by sandyweller on June 25, 2009

How refreshing is this, proof that crafting is not just a girl thing!  Isabelle’s son Antoine has prepared this lovely scrapbook page using BasicGrey Wisteria papers& Katzelkraft “Dans ma maison” stamps

Ant-scrap-4x

and another lovely layout capturing memories and spanning the generations.  Ant-scrap-3x

If you need more proof that boys like to craft with a bit of encouragment Click here to take a look at the gorgeous father’s day cards Julian and Antoine made

So in the imortal words of Slade “girls grab your boys” and introduce them to crafting.   (Sorry,  bit of evidence of a misspent youth there!)
