Sharing some love

If you are a follower of my blog you may have seen me mention Fernli Designs a time or two.

Fernli Designs are a family run business that offer a gorgeous range of laser cut MDF embellishments and storage options.

Their products are beautifully cut and they offer such a wide range, that there is bound to be some thing for every one.  I'm quite an eclectic crafter, but I still find myself using their products on pretty much every thing I make, from mixed media, to scrapbook layouts, to cards and my construction pieces.

Fernli Designs has a great Design Team and Guest Design Team.  So if you get stuck for ideas of how you can use items that they sell, take a look on their  Facebook group  where there is also a monthly give away or visit their blog for more great tips and ideas and information on the current challenges that they have running.

Now for the LOVE

If you place an order with Fernli Designs that is over £25 not including the P&P you can use my special discount code to get 10% off of your order.  You can only use one code per order/basket.

NY10OFF

I will put this code in my side bar so that you can find it easily in the future.

Time for me to go get crafty :)

Happy days

Today is a good day.  I have finally been able to show off my first design team project for Fernli Designs.  I have to admit that I was worried when I took this position on because the existing design team are so talented.  I feel a bit more relaxed now and my second project is nearly finished and I am still making notes on things that I want to make in the near future.

My second piece of good news is the announcement of our first scrapbook challenge over at Crafters @ Play  The Lovely Heather has set it up and is offering a prize to the challenge winner.  There are two sketches available.  All you have to do is do a layout featuring your self at any age and use some paint on your layout.

I'm off to do a bit more of my happy dance :D

Like a kid at Christmas

I have been in a bouncy happy mood since yesterday.  In fact I have bee grinning like a loon and carrying on like a kid with a new toy.  Why?  Well I got asked a question yesterday that I could only dream of being asked.

I have been asked if I would like to be a regular design team member for Fernli Designs and of course I said yes.  I had already been given a guest design spot for December, but this means that I will be making regular projects for them.  I'm still grinning a day later.  Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, I love love love their products.

I have bought from other companies dealing in wooden embellishments before, but you just can't beat Fernli Designs for quality and competitive prices.  The fact that they make steampunk bits is a big bonus for me, but it is their flourishes that I can't currently get enough of.

I've made a few changes to my life recently.  I have stepped down as admin from CFG.  A great collection of groups, that I have been a part of since February 2013.  Being a group admin takes up a lot of time and energy so I am going to take a few weeks to decide what I want to do next and just craft for the fun of it.

I'm also starting to get more exercise.  Not for weight loss as much (though I definately need to loose loads) and more for health and fitness.

Before I go I wanted to show you a layout that I recently made.

This is my youngest, Xander

I was worried about putting flowers on a boy layout but I think it works.

Just one week old.

I need to go scribble down more ideas

Happy National Scrapbooking Day

I would love a whole day of scrapping to celebrate, but unfortunately work calls.

I started a little project last night (wooden) and if I am not too tired tonight, I will do a bit more work on it. So far it is going well and I'm looking forward to showing it to you.

Since I don't have a new project to share with you today, I would like to share with you a few of my previously made scrapbook layouts.

The picture is of my eldest son who is now 23.  This is a simple layout that I used to make a tutorial for this months challenge on CFG Scrappers

I haven't found the right photo yet, but I had the layout in my head so I had to make it.

This started off as 2 sheets of 12x12 white card stock and 2 pieces of black for the photo matts.  A lot of inking and die cutting later and I had this layout.  I love creating my own backgrounds.  I have some new brightly coloured shimmer mists to play with so look out for some really bright layouts from me.

Need to go iron my uniform, but have a great day.

Today is the day.....

.....that I can finally show you what I have been up to.  3 minutes past midnight so it is officially the right day lol

This is for a challenge that is running over at CFG Scrappers.  You can find a link to the group in the side bar.  This is the hessian covered canvas that I was working on earlier this week.

For some reason Blogger wont let me link directly to the video that shows you the process of how the canvas was created so click here to watch it.   It is quite a simple one to do once you get the hang of it.

I really need my bed now.
