New Pens...

Ooooh DPD have just been and I have my new pens! I have to say my first impressions of the pens are good. The pen is a bit slimmer than the original pen see the photo (they are not as round if that makes sense). I also like that they have a number and colour name as well as a colour cap.

These remind me more of the Copic Sketch pens in look and feel and I would say that is what CC were hoping to emulate. Righ next step is to colour with them, I will be back later with photo's and what I think of them...

New Noir Illustrator Pens...

Well did you see Hochanda over the weekend and the new Noir Illustrator Pens? I have both the normal Noir pens and copics, I love my copics but I've had problems getting some colours and they are so expensive.

I didn't know about the new pens coming out and only happened to catch a show and at first I was sceptical as I got court out with their pencils last year when I brought the full kit only the have them bring out a new and improved set last Christmas. But I kept watching and seeing the demo and thought WOW if these are half as good as they are showing then I think I will have to try them.

Now the offer on Hochanda was £99 but that was for just 48 pens so I checked out the Crafters Companion web site and they had the complete set 96 pens for just £150 which with my 20% members discount made them just £120 a real bargain. So I ordered Sunday and they are being delivered today. I just need to get some more trays and think about selling off my other Noir pens.

Just a thought if anyone doesn't have the 20% Crafters Companion members discount but would like to get these pens for just £120 with free P&P then message me and I will happily order these for you as long as you can send me payment via PayPal or bank transfer hugs x

Look what I received in the post today...

The lovely Larissa Howe (my card swap partner), not only draw this herself but she also made me the keyring and sent me a gift of some stamp too, aren't I a lucky girl today...

Friendship Card Swap...

Well I've finally got around to doing some colouring and making a card.  I am part of a online colouring group https://www.facebook.com/groups/kitandclowder/ and one if the tasks we were asked to join in on was a members card swap.

The theme is friendship, Alyce matches up members and it's up to you to choose the stamp and make up the card and get it in the post in time...

Here's my card, I am really pleased with how it's turn out I used my new supplies I got from my crafting weekend and new skills I learnt from Anna-Marie last month.

I will also post a photo of the card a receive as I am sure it will be wonderful.

Crafting Weekend With Anna-Marie Designs

We had a lovely crafting weekend with the very talented Anna-Marie Designs, there were 28 of us at this full on creating weekend. Anna-Marie was as always such a great teacher, she pushed us all to try out techniques that we hadn't tried before and we got to understand how and why the products worked. It was great getting to try out products that we had passed on before as we couldn't see how or where we'd use them. We were also treated to a lovely 4 star hotel it was so nice to have a but of luxury and me time xxx

So sorry that I haven't posted anything for such a long time, this has been a hard year for us so I've had to take time out to concentrate on family.  I am hoping to get back to designing new items and getting myself sorted out for the coming Christmas fairs.
