My Latest Creations

Hi All

Sorry it's been a while but here are some of my creations.

My Creation Station

Hi Ladies

Here is my "messy" Creation Station brought to you from Georgina in Boston, Lincolnshire.

My oldest son has left home so we now have a spare room. It's only small but at last I can call it my own "Creation Station" oh as well as a "Gym".

Q: How long have you been crafting?
A: I started when I was about 14/15 years old as my mum is a crafting lady herself. Now at a ripe age of 43 I'm still going strong and have broaden my crafting to various levels.

Q: What is your favorite J & C Product?
A: Well I bet everyone is finding this question hard to answer as J & C Creations sells some many lovely products. I love using Spellbinders & Heartfelt Creation Dies as they can always be used for any project. Not just using card but also material. Recently I have been using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pens to colour in my stamps. I have gone mad using them, so much that I sold all my promarkers and now collecting Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pens.

Q: What is your favorite topic?
A: "Girlie Cards". As I love adding flower embellishments and ribbon to my cards.

Q: What was the first craft product you ever bought and why?
A: "Various Material". What do you mean I hear you say! When I was younger my nan used to look after me in the school holidays and she had alot of lavender growing in her garden. So yes I used to sit down with her and sew lavender bags using various colour and types of material and sell then at craft fairs.

Q: What inspires your projects, how do you start them off?
A: I like to get inspiration from other blog sites I am following or if I like a stamp or digi stamp and colour them in I will then use contrasting backing papers and card to build up layers. Recently I went into our local craft shop and bought different MDF shapes and made various plaques which I will be displaying on my blog. (prettycards4you).

Happy New Year Everyone !!

Hi everyone

Hope you all had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all !! Here is a card that I have made in 2013 with all my new products I got for Christmas!!

I have found a site that has amazing digital stamps and here she is. You can find her on Saturated Canary. I have coloured her in using Tim Holtz distress Inks. The backing paper is from Magnolia Tilda and all the other items I have found when clearing out my craft room. To highlight some of the bubbles I have used small rubber sticky feet. For christmas I received a bow maker which has made my life so much easier !!
