Im back from a small break with an all new blog!

Hi everyone, its good to be back in blog land after a few months break, a break from blogging that is, not crafting :) As you may be able to tell this is an all new blog design, so whats with the new design  you ask ? well as you can see I am no longer a Stampin' Up demo, reason being was that I have only been crafting for one year and when I signed up as a hobby demo I was still finding out what style of crafting suited me, well it turns out I like lots of different products by different brands, I will still be using a lot of Stampin Up products as they are fantastic quality and some of the designs of their products do suit my taste, but I will also be mixing other brands within my crafting especially Tim Holtz, so if you would like to order products from Stampin Up, just let me know and I can give you details of a fantastic demo who you can order from ;)

Right time to post a project I think :) recently it was a good friends 30th birthday, so out came my crafting supplies to make a card, here was the end result:

I decided to try a new product on this card which was Stickles by Ranger (the shiny glittery glue on the number 30 ) it gives a lovely glittery effect and is a perfect finishing touch for that special card, I have also used mocha morning papers by Stampin' Up, now these papers are gorgeous and are one of my favorites, but I was sad to here that these papers are actually now being retired, so if you want to get your hands on them, now is your last chance. Here is a view of the inside of the card:

I hope you like my first project on my new design blog and I promise I will be blogging at least once a week from now on, In fact see me back here tomorrow to view a lovely card that is fit for a princess:)

Thanks for looking
