Some Piccis .... Here's just a few pics of some of the samples I done for the QVC airing yesterday. Some Picci's .... I need to do another You Tube, but for the life of me I can't think of what to show you, so any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated - THANK YOU. We've just received stock of the NEW Craftwork Cards Monthly Collection - this one's called Fruit Scoop and it's so colourful and lovely take a looks. Also, Craft Stamper mag is HERE ... Ta Da !!

Well, that's been a bit of a journey.... We're now the proud owners of the most gorgeous website (well in our eyes anyway) LOL !!! We hope you like it !!! It certainly has been a labour of love and we realise that we've probably made LOADS of mistakes, so, if you spot any or have ANY feedback on the site we'd be really grateful to hear your comments. We still loading like crazy so bear with us :) :) You can check it out HERE And in other news....... We've managed to get a few classes on the site and more on the way, check them out HERE I'm back on QVC at 9am on 9th May, this time there's 4 sets of my stamps, toot toot !!! You can see 3 of the sets HERE the other one's a secret LOL !!! I must say they are an absolute bargain on here, even with the postage, as these stamps retail Nationwide for £5.99 each, not bad eh !!! I'd love to show you some of the stuff I'm working on for QVC, but I can't !!!! SORRY !!! I really need to get my finger out...

We're suffering a malfunction on the website at the mo :( :( it's also having an effect on the emails, so if anyone has e mailed me I'm not ignoring you, I'm just not getting them. We hope to have this resolved real soon, in the meantime you can get through on marionemberson@gmail.com. Thanks to everyone who visited us at Ally Pally :) :) I still think it's one of the best shows out there, I hope you all enjoyed it and then went and stroked your new bought stash in the sunshine, we managed to catch a wee bit of sunshine on the drive home. Polly and Jayne were brill, as usual, thanks girls !!! Now, off to try and get this glitch sorted !!! Marion xxx

Having come back from a super weekend away with WOW Embossing Powders , teaching at the NEC.

Barb, by popular demand is doing another card class on the 22nd April at 2pm (Good Friday) There's all sorts of twists and turns going on with this one, and as usual she doesn't disappoint with the techniques. Check out the new classes HERE We've had new deliveries - one of them being Teresa Collins, honestly this girl knows how to please, her designs are so simple, stylish and effective - here's a little sneak peek We are taking these to Ally, but I'm sure we'll be returning with some, as we have sooooo many !!! QVC - I'm back on air on Monday 9th May within the 9am slot, with my stamps, including three new ones !!! some yummy Bazzill product, inks, flowers ect...

Well that's what it feels like, missing in action.... I can't believe it's been nearly a month since my last post....SORRY !!! So, what's been happening ? Well, for starters, we've had SO MUCH new stash, we're trying to get it all on the web, it's a bit of a mammoth task, so bear with us !! RIBBONS... OMG so many ribbons... Look what we've made with them...yummy, I think I may see another You Tube coming on LOL !!! We're excited to tell you that we're the proud stockists of CRAFTWORK CARDS, not only have they got the most gorgeous quality card packs at GREAT prices, but now, they've bought out some stunning edge shaped cards, seriously you must pop in and see these !!

Here's the latest collection Soooo cute, great for easter, baby and just all round yummy cards, here's a closer look ...

Just thought I'd do a quick share of our afternoon with Mr Holtz. It certainly was a play, play, play kinda day, as usual he showed us some great techniques, that you think "now, why didn't I think of that"!!! And there's some REALLY exciting NEW product coming your way. We made three rather gorgeous canvases (sorry forgot to get a picci, but they'll be in the shop to see) Here's a little sneak of Paula working away on one of them, my favourite actually !!! (apologies, but I don't know how or even if I can turn the photo the right way up on this iPad)!! So you'll just have to turn yours heads LOL !! Dy Reavley taught a class as well, needless to say it was bursting with colour and just gorgeous, she's one very talented lady. I've never known Nina so quiet, the concentration was immense at some points We used the Claudine Hellmuth Studio paints, that we have in the shop and just had such fun getting our fingers dirty!! We've already come...

It's off to Brum we go.... at that point you need to be whistling like the seven dwarfs !!! Yep, on Saturday we're off to Birmingham for the UK trade show. Now I know it's not quiet LA, but it'll be a lot cheaper !!! Saturday afternoon we're doing a class with the lovely Tim Holtz (and yes he is a really lovely guy) then Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, we're buying, meeting lovely people, buying, meeting more lovely people, crafting, buying a bit more and then hey ho, while we're there we may as well meet up with more lovely people, it's probably going to be one of the busiest shows we've ever done, we have so many "meet ups" it's a little bit crazy..... I'm back in the shop on wednesday where I'll be teaching Nina's class, then doing the last minute packing as on Thursday morning I'm off to the Make It show in Farnborough until Sunday, I haven't done this one since 2008, so I'm really looking forward to that AND pr...
