Jayne Nestorenko Adorables sneak peak

Morning all!
I'd like to show you a card that has been made with stamps from a brand new range from Jayne Nestoranko called Adorables. The stamps are beautiful and the CD ROM that accompanies them is full of lovely versatile papers that will make a great addition to your collection.
I have used my large Rock-a-Block to mount both of the background images at the same time. It is easy to organise the separate elements this way.
All of the smaller stamps which were goung to be cut out were placed on the Rock-a-Block together to save a bit of time. Because you can guarantee a perfect result, it's a great way to stamp.
I coloured the background with my Prismacolour pencils and the other elements with Copics. I'm still not very confident with my colouring skills, so forgive the slightly poor results! For more information on the launch of this lovely range, see the Crafter's Companion blog.

August Crafter's Companion challenge

Hi all.
Well, another month has passed by and I'm behind on everything as usual. CHA has just finished and I had my usual task of making a whole bank of samples to show off the Ultimate & the add on decorative embossing boards for Sara to take with her for the Crafter's Companion stand. This is a daunting task- not only making every shape & size of card & box I can think of, but then there's the nail biting wait to hear whether or not they arrived in America undented & looking pristine- which Sara assured me they did. Panic over till next time!!
Anyhoo- here's my translation of the August challenge card for the Crafter's Companion blog. I hope you'll skip over there & have a go- Sara always offers a prize for the chosen winner, but win or lose, the sketch is a great inspiration and I'm sure that you'll find it useful!

Hi all.
Along with the rest of the Crafter's Companion design team, I have a sneak peak of a new product for you! This is a lovely new range called S.W.A.L.K (Sealed with a little kiss). The range is being launched on friday on Create and Craft an consists of 12 stamp sets and a CD ROM packed with beautiful backing papers and accessories. There are some gorgeous features on the new CD that haven't been seen with any other Crafter's Companion CD in the past- these will be fully explored on the TV shows (details below).
This mini card has been made with one of the stamp sets and some of the backing paper from the CD. I've coloured it in with Copics, which work very well with these images. I hope you can check out some of the shows to see more.
Here are the blogs of the rest of the D.T to get a bigger picture of this lovely new release.
