Love you much!

Hi everyone, hope your week is going well so far.

I've been shopping and got in a load of sweets and chocolate for my valentine's gifts and general treats, and it is taking ALL my willpower not to have a nibble....

Today I want to share with you a cute little card that I'll be giving to my close girl friends and girl family members.

I've used one of the Love Notes and stamped the heart from the Love You Much stamp set then picked out a few details with my white gel pen.


*Happy Accident time*

Now, you'll notice the 'you' coming from behind the heart... I'd love to say it was done on purpose but it wasn't lol. I stamped the 'Love (heart) you' sentiment from Sealed with a kiss and planned on having some punched out hearts scattered around but changed my mind last minute and covered the first part of the wording with the big heart from the Love You Much set.... and I like!


I then went around the whole card with some faux stitching with one of the Stampin' Markers and had a go at doing the eyelet border which I think looks fab, will have to try it more often! Reminds me of pretty lace.



I got to use my Hearts 'o plenty wheel for the trillionth time too, I *heart* it. (Geddit? lol)

Will hopefully get a chance to share the valentine's treats I've made to go with them soon (full of the chocolate and sweets I WILL resist) - well, if I say it over and over it might come true...

Thanks for stopping by,
take care.

Drum roll please................

............... and the winner of my SU! Birthday bog candy is:

Lyn W !

Congrats Lyn, I will be in touch to arrange for this to be sent to you.


Before I go, I want to make a quick apology, since Christmas I have not been blogging much. This is partly to do with life being rather busy at the moment and we received some unexpected news in the family (nothing bad, just surprising! And I hope I'm able to talk about that a bit more soon)

I'm getting back into the swing of things now after my little break so please don't desert me !

I met up with Vicki and Keren again tonight for a crafty/chatty night (mostly chatty hehe) and it was so lovely to properly get crafting again, it's hard to believe I've hardly touched my stamps since Christmas. We had a little project each to share so will blog those on Thursday.

Thanks for stopping by,
take care.

Helping Haiti.

I'm sure everyone if fully aware of the disastrous events that have happened in Haiti, and like me, feel so helpless.

I am so proud to be working with a company like Stampin' Up! for all the efforts they put in when people need help.

Here's what Stampin' Up! have said:

Stampin′ Up! demonstrators have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others--especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest. So it was not surprising that so many demonstrators have contacted us in the past week asking what the plan is for helping to provide relief for those who continue to suffer from the effects of the earthquake that struck Haiti on 12 January.

What do they have planned?

From now until 28 February, 2010, £1 from every Greenhouse Gardens stamp set I sell will be donated to the American Red Cross’ International Response Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

Greenhouse Gardens : 113824 £22.95


Like other demonstrators, I will also be matching the donations and donate an extra £1 for every set I sell.

Stampin' Up! in the US purchased supplies for 5000 emergency hygiene kits which were packaged up and sent off to Haiti.

You can read more information about this on Shelli's blog.

If you can help by purchasing this set before the 28th of February please e-mail me asap to craftychick001@yahoo.co.uk

Thank you for your support in raising these funds.

Thanks for stopping by,
take care.
