I made this card following the sketch for Secret Crafter and decided that I like the colour scheme for the Basic Grey card so much I did another in the same colours. This time I used chick-a-dee instead of daisy.
The image is Sugar Nellie, paper is Basic Grey Offbeat, fabric flowers & gems are Papermania, sentiment is Craftwork Cards and the corners are from a Sizzix die cut out on the Big Shot.

2 Awards and some exciting news for Prima Crafts
I have been given these fab awards from some blogging friends. The Friends award is from the lovely Fern & the Beautiful Blogger award is from the lovely Carly.
Now onto some exciting news (for Prima Craft Customers anyway). As you know Emma and I spent the weekend at the NEC sourcing some new products for the shop. We are having a bit of out with the old and in with the new. We are moving away from one of our major suppliers (cant tell you who on here, but you will know when you come in the shop and see a lack of their products). So we have tried to get some fabby new stuff in to replace them, and I can give you a sneeky list of some of the items.
Firstly we are going to be stocking the fab new range of decoupage sheets from LAPASHE, these fabulous Flippin Men & Women are so funny and are sure to add some fun to your cards. There are 20 men & 20 women in total and we will be building up our stocks over the next couple of months. They also produce the fab Remember When... decoupage kits and again we will be stocking those. Check out their website for more pics of these fab decoupage images http://www.lapashe.com/
We are going to be stocking Sizzix's fab new range of dies for their Big Shot and Sidekick machines featuring the gorgeously cute Hello Kitty and friends. They are also bringing out some fab new textured embossing folders (a bit like the cuttlebug ones).
We will be stocking some fab new TRIMCRAFT ranges that will be released over the coming few months, Kate Knight is bringing a fab new collection out. There is the fabulous new collection from Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen, and a great collection from MY MINDS EYE. There are also some fab new paper and card stacks from DCWV. Check out their site for more details http://www.trimcraft.co.uk/
We are also going to be stocking some new products from PERSONAL IMPRESSIONS featuring names such as, SPELLBINDER (yes we are getting Nestabilities), K&Co, MARTHA STEWART (I nearly wet myself when I saw them punches on the stand!!!!) and a fabulous range of silk & paper Flowers. The best thing about this is that each shop will have the PI catalogue and even if we dont stock it in the shop the items can be purchased to order, and even delivered direct to your house if needed. How good is that !!!!!! check out their website for details http://www.personalimpressions.com/
CRAFTHOUSE PRESS who bring you the fabulous JOLLY NATION, have brought a fab new range of A4 Die Cut images and matching backing papers featuring some gorgeous new designs of Babies, Toddlers, Movie Stars the list just goes on. They are also bringing out SCOOBY DOO & LOONEY TUNES decoupage. check out their website for details http://www.crafthousepress.co.uk/
Finally we will be stocking a fab new product range from the fabulous Stephaine Weightman who you will all know from Create & Craft. There will be a fab range of products from Clear Stamps, Decoupage, Craft CD's and Templates, with a different theme each month. I will give you a sneeky bit of info for the first 2 months which are Art Deco & Hollywood Greats !!!!!
Coming soon will also be Penny Black stamps and Joanne Sheen CD's and Stamps.
Well I hope thats given you something to think about, I for one can tell you I am really exctied about the coming months at Prima.

Gift Bag Crazy !!!!!

A bird in the hand is worth !!!!!!!!!!
I love Shopping !!! & a new venture
The card is a gatefold with the flap being stuck down using a basic grey magnetic snaps. The papers are Basic Grey Euphoria, the flowers are a mixture of Prima & Poppicrafts with a fabulous Papermania sparkley gem in the centre. The pink gems on the LH side are Papermania and the ribbon is from the new Anitas collection (which I have had 1 spotty, & 1 stripy of every colour!!!). The sentiment is one of my own designs that I have made and am now selling on ebay.
AsIi just said above I have decided to sell the circle sentiments that I designed on Ebay. I was going to go down the stamp route but a certain company let me down and I cant afford to do them myself so for the time being this is how I am going to sell them. I am hoping someday to turn them into stamps. I have also put some images on there as well as I have had a few emails from people who dont come to the shop and would like to buy the images. I can tell you that for everyone of these packs of images or circle sentiments that are sold I will be making a donation to the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRUST which as you know is a charity close to my own heart. I have actually been deeply disapointed with Ebay as we had a letter from the CF Trust the other day to say that we could now donate a % to them off any item sold on ebay. This was one of the factors that made my decision on where to sell these items. However after setting it all up today and chosing the CF Trust as my charity, once I got to the bottom and read the terms and conditions it states that no matter what % you chose to donate a min of £1 per item will be donated. Well I am only selling the bloomin things for 99p per pack and need to keep some to cover the costs, so that put paid to that. So in the end I have decided to do it seperately and pay them the % each month direct from my paypal account. So do pop over and have a look my user name on there is Lyndsey1044, obviously the more I sell the more money goes to the CF Trust.
Also I will just quickly mention that in May I am doing a 5 mile walk for the trust, so as soon as this snow disappears I will be putting my trainers on and getting some practice in cause believe me I am so unfit its shamefull. Oli is doing this walk with me so I cant have my 7 year old son showing me up can I !!!!. So if any of you customers of Prima Crafts see me walking round the drive looking worn out, please give me a kick up the backside and tell me to get a move on lol!!!!!!!

Sitting pretty
I received this gorgeous little Tilda image from a blogging buddy and you know for the life of me I couldnt work out whether she was standing or sitting. (have been having a blonde day). In the end I decided she was sitting so cut round her hands, dress and feet and threaded a strip of paper through.
Papers are Basic Grey Ambrosia, Papermania pearl brads, Prima flowers & Craftwork Cards oval sentiment.

Cocolate Wrapper
These measurements are for a Cadbury's Dairy Milk bar approx 140g
Take a piece or paper or cardstock A4 or 8 x 8, these do not have to be cut down on the width.
Score line 1 at 4cm up from the bottom.
Score line 2 at +1 cm up from 1st line.
Score line 3 at +9cm up from the 2nd line.
Score line 4 at +1cm from the 3rd line.
Cut off on line 5 at +6 cm from the 4th line (this then give you 1cm for the fold over).
Put a piece of DB sided tape along the very edges of the paper between line 2 & 3 and along the width of the paper along line 5.
Pop the chocolate face down between line 2 & 3. Wrap the chocolate and fold line 5 over by 1cm and stick down.
Pinch the edges of the wrapper together either side of the chocolate between lines 2 & 3.
Decorate as required.
Again hope this info makes sense.
