Hairy kids debut!!

The hairy kids (the dogs that is, not children in need of a shave) are appearing on tv today! I'm so proud. The little clip will be shown on the love pets show at 11 on ideal world, then again at 4pm. Next time I think I'll have to bring one of them in for a live appearance, that would be a giggle!

On the crafty front, today brings us:
10am simplicity with Jennie
12pm jewellery with kleshna

Happy days.

My last dawn n friends....

Our dawn is returning to your screens next week.....seems like she's been away an age doesn't it! So it's my last DB and friends. The DB delight (still make me giggle, great title) is a 3 for 2. We like those little beauties. It's a mix of pretty images, with vibrant tones. So a little something for everyone....here's a quick tease:












Looking forward to seeing who my pals our for this week. Seeya at 2 :)

Sheena and Mich Turner in one day!!

Saturday was a great day for c&c again. I started off the day with the wonderful Sheena and paint fusion. I love this painting technique that Sheena has brought to us. It looks fantastic. And now there's a cd as well! The papers are completely up my street, and it means Sheena art is available for all. Then transfer sheets! I'll admit, it was driving me mad that my first fingers didn't seem to work, so when the cameras were off I had to have a play, and my middle fingers worked. Dodgy didgets!

Then a 2 hour cake making to decorating with the amazing Mich Turner. Have you looked at the web site yet, her designs are stunning. It was such a good show, and made my obsession with cake decorating even worse! I'd love to go to one of Mich's classes. That is certainly something I'd like to learn for my sisters wedding. It would be so special to do mazs cake. You never know! I'll pop photos on - of Sheena and her teams beautiful creations and the amazing Mich and her spring sensation:

New tutorials

Hi crafters. Just a quick post, been a very busy few days, today was the "dawn bibby and friends show" - with me again. It was crazy! So much to see. Loved the stamps we had to play with, and the MCS cd, and the 4 days deal, and the cute forever friends....that'll be everything again!! Man!

My cameo has arrived today! Can't tell you how excited I am. And what timing, day off tomorrow. I've never crafted so much in my life!

Yesterday we filmed tutorials for my web site, which are now up and running, follow this link:

Or just go to the web site and look up demos.

These are the way I made the flowers used for my mothers day card which appears in the next addition of Cardmaking and papercrafts magazine. The clay is perfect for flowers, it dries unbelievably lightweight.

Righto, I should get some sleep ready for my cameo day! Here's a couple of cards from today's show:

Thursday brings good stuff!!

So this morning I got up, half asleep, walked the dogs and realised I had a hour spare!! An hour! Crazy lady. So, swept leaves, chopped weeds, steamed kitchen then obviously, late for work....duh.

Anyhow, I'm here, and what a good day already. The green rooms like a social gathering! Carley is on air and our mate Alex is in the green room - we're going seeing florence and the machine, so squeals a plenty there. Wendy was there, the lovely alpaca ladies (always dressed in beautiful clothes, obviously!). And of course Hels Sheridan. Now me and Hels are on at 11 and I can't wait. I love her work, and of course all the beautiful stamps and bits and bobs. I'll share some of Hels samples here in a mo.

The rest of the day looks like this:
1 - 4 day deal
5pm - 4 day deal
6pm - pick of the week

Okay, as promised:












Arnt they beautiful. And then of course, our Martyn and Carley

ArtRage!!!!

Sounds good doesn't it!! It's not me going mad with a paintbrush, but a software programme thing I've bought so I can actually crack on and do some designing!! How very exciting. Today I actually sat down to do a tutorial. I never do that! Actually trying to learn the thing properly. And I loved it. Okay, I didn't create a masterpiece, and it was traced, but it teaches you how to work layers, paint, add backgrounds etc. And it certainly does not look like the original, so it isn't a carbon copy. And it's brilliant fun. So, next my own background papers and stuff.....or maybe I should continue learning how to walk before attempting the sprint!! Anyhow, my first rose......
