Another birthday then.....

First, I’d like to say thank you for all the lovely comments regarding me joining the clarity team. It’s so exciting, and couldn’t come at a better time. I read all your comments, thank you 😊

Before I crack on with work, this weekend saw another birthday. It’s a birthday month for our little family. Charlie, my auntie, me, then mum. All within the week. And of course the first lot of birthdays without my sister. It was a tough one. Thankfully I spent a full day with Charlie. He’s such a wonderful child, and he made me realise I want to be the best person I possibly can for him. I want to have adventures, explore and make sure he’s a happy bunny. I’ve also taught him great stuff like cold beans, blowing bubbles in his milk shake and dipping crisps in his soup!! Haha, his dads loving it!!

I did have loads of fun with the girls as well. I’ve said it before, and hopefully I’ll never stop saying it...I’ve got some good mates. Such a tonic.

Now, work. I’m sitting to design this evening, and have a great LLL show planned for this Wednesday, so will be back in my lovely workshop here in sunny Brighton, to prep. 

In the meantime, I figured I’d share some photos, as I know Ive been rubbish putting my makes on here recently. This week I’m going to try a bit harder....go on, put on your bets. Let’s see how many days I can achieve!

Here’s some cards made using the fabulous stamps from AALL and create. I love their designs, they’re so cool.

Good evening......I realised today that I haven't posted on my blog in some time.  And then I checked....January 2017!!  That was my last post.  I know I've been busy, but that's ridiculous isn't it.

As ever, I approach my blog with much gusto and determination.  A daily blog, I can do that, right?  Okay, really check Pujol.  Nah, that isn't going to happen, but I am at least going to try for a couple of posts a week.  We'll see how it pans out.

I wanted to share some of the samples from my weekly show on Hochanda, Let Leonie Loose. A couple of weeks ago I had some beautiful stamps from Els, along with matching dies.  I loved working with them all, and it was a busy show, so I know a lot of people ordered them as well. I would love to see what you have made with the stamps and dies as well, so please drop me a line with your finished projects, so I can share them on my blog.

The show was part of the Hochanda birthday week....we were celebrating 2 years!  Already.  Can everyone remember the first show?  Myself and Michelle were there, Proseccioo in hand.  The cameras rolled.  Lights. Vision. We were live.  Okay, there were a few teething problems - but it was up and running.  And there's no doubt, Hochanda has gone from strength to strength.  We've seen a few different presenters come and go. Many bloopers have been recorded to delight us every Christmas. And we have all racked up a bit of gossip here and there.....But, above all, we have been joined by some incredible companies, who inspire and entertain us!

Anyway, back to the job in hand....Elizabeth Craft Designs.  Lovely.  So, here are some of the cards I made during, and for, the show.  I used the pop up mechanism dies, which allowed me to make the cute pop up cards with ease.  I also had fun with the really cute images, and it was so handy having dies which cut these out.  No more fussy cutting.

I hope you like the cards, and I promise not to leave it as long next time....or at least I promise to do my very best!  Fingers and toes crossed everyone xxx

Happy New Year

Hi folks.  Sorry, this post is later than I planned....I'm going to blame technology, I couldn't load photo's from my phone, so had to wait for my lap top before I could do anything.  How frustrating eh!

Anyway, my Happy New Year wishes are just as sincere.  I hope you all had a nice evening, and lets hope 2017 brings us happiness and love.

2016 was a mixed bag of a year for me.  I started my brand new adventure with Hochanda and Crafters Companion. I can't believe that was only last year!  It was a big step for me, and a risk leaving a job I loved in an established company - to join a start up.  But, it has gone from strength to strength, and I'm so pleased I made the leap.....it's good to be excited yet terrified at times!

Life was fun, exciting, it had good times and unfortunately some sad times....but that's what we all have to deal with isn't it, and there's always something positive to be gained from the hard times.

2017.....well, let the adventures continue. Who knows what the year holds, but I hope we can all go into 2017 peacefully and.....CRAFTILY!!!  Bring on the craft :)

I've waded through some of my photo's from the year....I love doing this. I've picked just a few to share with you.....
