Something From the Weekend....

Hi everyone, hope you've had a happy weekend, it goes so quickly though!

Here are a couple of lovely cards to cheer up a Monday:

First up we have two cards made with one of our stamps 'The Most Wonderful Time of the Year' which is just £3.50 - bargain! Take a look:


designed by Helen Nile

designed by Helen Nile
Same stamp; 'The Most Wonderful Time of the Year' and two different cards!  Isn't it amazing how just colour alone can change a design?

Which colour is your favourite?  Are you a Blue or a Red & Cream person?

Would you like to own this stamp?   Leave a comment for you fav colour and we will draw at random 5 lucky stampers to receive their own Little Claire 'Most Wonderful Time of the Year' stamp - Yippee!

Get in touch and this stamp could be yours - we'll do our draw after we've had a cup of tea tomorrow (23 Aug 2011) at 11.30am.

And...... before we sign off for the night - here is a sneak peek of one of the cards Donna & I will be making at the Breakfast Workshop at GNPE, Harrogate on the mornings of Saturday 10 & Sunday 11 September:

 Do you likey?  Wouldn't you just LOVE to come onto a workshop and make this card?  If you are coming to the GNPE, just contact Craftwork Cards info@craftworkcards.com to book your place.

Thank you Donna for this gorgous card, and I can't wait to join in the fun!

    with the kids jingle belling and everyone telling you'll be of good cheer..."
    How very traditional, so i just have to go for the red and cream design as it says christmas to me, like the old song with dressing the tree and wrapping presents.
