If there's one thing we hear time and time again, is that you guys that don't dwell in good 'ole Essex, want us to open a Sugar and Spice Crafts near you, well although the thought would be nice, it would also be impossible. So what have we done about your cries ??????? Well, if you can't get to us, then we'll come to you. And we're starting that with some On-Line Classes, you're going to have to bear with us as we gradually build these for you, most of them will be FREE, there maybe one or two SPECIAL ones that they'll be a small price for, but you won't be disappointed, I promise !! We'll add a list of products used, but we always try and and use a lot of generic stuff that you'll have in your stash anyway, so it's a way of getting your mojo going and to say THANK YOU for supporting Sugar and Spice Crafts from near and far. The first one's up, so go check it out HERE , and I'm just working on another..... These things t...

Working for WOW Embossing Powders today and I started to feel just a wee bit Christmassy...... Is that allowed, I mean we haven't had Halloween yet !!! But hey ho.... When it flows you just have to go with it, right !!! One of the things I love doing with the WOW Powders is mixing them to get different colours and textures. So I grabbed a bottle, cut up some sticks and played with powder.... I love this stuff. I'll be taking it with me to the NEC, where we'll be (me and WOW) for the Hobbycrafts show this November. If you're coming, pop along to the stand and book in for a FREE class, we've got two projects for you to choose from or do both, we don't mind :) :) we'll also be demoing all day, filling your minds with ideas and inspiration. See you there.... Hugs Marion xxx - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

You know when you just NEED one of them days....... Well today I got one of THEM days. And how lovely it was. I spent the whole day with the lovely Paula Poston making, making, making. I found an old Moleskin book that I'd had for ages and had washi taped the front, so I ripped that off, that's the joy of washi :) :) and got to work. My love of all things Paper Artsy at the moment was the inspiration and then any excuse to play with the Heidi Swapp Color Shine and I was on my way..... I stepped right out of my comfort zone for this one, as I don't normally do MESSY and certainly not random, I'm a clean and simple girl at heart. But I had such fun, spritzing and painting and masking and stamping and ....... Well, I'll let you look for yourself...... This is the front of the book, I've stamped onto tissue paper, painted it, spritzed it and stuck it :) These two pages were, spritzed, stencilled and stamped. Here's a little close up. And lastly, and this is my f...
