Come into my Garden

It's Tando week at The Craft Barn this week and when I saw this little arched window set I just had to have it! I LOVE making scenes and the Garden Girls Stamp set are perfect to set the scene in these windows

Well you didn't think I would show you the whole thing did you? I've got to earn my keep somehow so please pop over to The Craft Barn Blog to see the whole little scene and find out how I made it.

There's a fab offer code to be had on the blog too

Hope to see ya there

New Journaling Course at The Craft Range

I've been having a play all for myself last night. Janet and I are running a short 4 week Journaling class at The Craft Range in Hapton and we've been preparing for it by creating a few pages. We decided to journal on A5 card so we could leave it in the shop as a sample but it looked so bare without a cover so I decided to make a cover for it.

I covered mount board with some faux snakeskin paper and was so pleased with the result, I just did not stop. It was just crying out for the buckle and the twine binding, along with the monogram. So lovely to spend a few hours making something just because I wanted to!

Here's a couple of the pages, watch this space cos there is more to come...

I've still to do the Journaling on them - any suggestions?

Keep an eye on the Loving' Ink blog for times and dates, they will be posted soon

Hope you're enjoying the sunshine
