Cornwall

I have been enjoying a few days in Cornwall with the family, relaxing, playing in the snow and of course a bit of shopping!
I have bought some new Magnolia stamps which I am going to use for Valentine's Day and Wedding cards so watch out for those on the website soon. I shall also be adding some new products which I have been busy making......scrapbooks and notebooks which seem to have sold well and craft fairs recently.
I will report back with more in the New Year!

I got this stamps a few weeks ago now and have only got round to using it recently. I madethis card which I really like....I think I shall send this one to one of my girlfriends....Stamping Bella make fabulous stamps, check them out at www.stampingbella.com

Busy month!

November had been a busy month in our household. It's was Isobel's birthday so we spent lots of our time eating cake! I have also been doing a few craft fairs, selling some of my new designs and also trying my hand at scrapbooking. I made a couple of mini scrapbooks and sold them both which I am really pleased about. I have just ordered a few more which I will decorate for the next fair in a couple of weeks and I am going to try and make some gift bags as well. watch this space.....I will try and post some images of the designs!

Wedding Cards!

I haven't been blogging for a month or so......I have been making a wedding order which has taken up most of my time and during this I had a fabulous trip to New York with my girlfriends..we had a fabulous time and a much needed break from reality!!!! Cocktails just don't taste the same when you are in England and a mother - in New York I can be just a brunch cocktail drinker!!
The invites are now complete so its back to making those all important Christmas cards for a couple of craft fairs which are coming up! It's all go in the Baker crafting household!

New Baby Cards

I have had a few orders this week for new baby boy cards, I can't remember the last time I made a bespoke baby girl card! Boys seem the be the majority at the moment. I enjoy making baby cards, they are really sweet and you can make fabulous designs with little bits and pieces.

Christening Cards

I have spent the last couple of days making a few christening cards. I love the fimo babies so incorporated them onto the cards. I also did a couple of tags to go with them.

I have been feeling a bit tired today, I went to see an Abba tribute which was fantastic, I have been singing Mamma Mia all day and so this evening Isobel and I have decided to watch it as a little treat before bed, dancing and singing galore!!

Christmas Stamping

I have finally made a start on my Christmas cards, I have only completed one but I have been stamping and colouring as well! I love this reindeer stamps from Stamping Bella. The do such fabulous stamps - I have also started on the envelope stamps which I have made quite glittery....Hopefully I will get these finished tomorrow and get them up on the website.
Happy crafting!

New Stamps

I got back from Somerset and there sitting on the mat was my parcel from Canada with my fabulous Christmas stamps....I am sooo excited about using them, it's been 3 days and I still haven't found the time to start using them, I know I am so far behind! I am going to use them tomorrow and post one of my new designs soon, promise!

A week in Somerset

We have just got back from a week in Somerset, enjoying the countryside and a bit of shopping thrown in! Jack was amazed by the chickens in the garden and once he could get to them all he wanted to do was pick them up, which the chickens weren't that keen on!

There is a nice craft shop near Taunton town centre which is at Monkton Elm garden centre. They have a lot of bits in there and also hold some classes which looked really good, it's a shame I don't live closer! The link for the shop is; http://www.monktonelmgardencentre.co.uk/CraftbrCentre/20/Home.html

Beading.....almost!

We starting crafting today and decided the best use for some of the new beads was on Isobel's scrapbook page. She is very proud of her creation as am I. I however need to find some inspiration and motivation from somewhere...I have so much to do I don't know where to start!

Crafting day

My daughter Isobel and I went to our local craft shop today. Isobel is always drawn to the beads, she doesn't really know what to do with them apart from sticking them on a few pictures but today she said she wanted to make a "lovely card with beads on".....In the meantime I managed to get myself lost in the new Pepper Pals and Papermania Christmas papers, which I hope to use this week to create my Christmas cards - a bit late I know but better late than never!! Surfice to say Isobel got home from the craft shop and decided she wanted to watch a DVD, leaving the beads firmly in the paper bag where they still are! maybe tomorrow we will see the new creation!

Chocoholics!!

I really liked the chocoholics set which came from Craftwork Cardswww.craftworkcards.co.uk. The sentiments are fab!
