Hi everyone hope you are all well & have had a great weekend, mine has been very exciting,

I have spent my weekend with the lovely Leann Chivers & Louise Welsh from Crafters Companion. I`ve been on a training weekend to hopefully become a future accredited demonstrator for Crafters Companion. It was a fabulous weekend, i learnt so much & met & made some amazing crafty friends.

Another bit of excitement to share with you is some new dies from Die`sire

I have to say they are my favourite dies to date, so intricate & beautiful

there are 6 to choose from, all as gorgeous as the 1st

Todays one i want to show you is Decadence 

These are create a card dies, which means they wont cut the whole image

I made this by using a 6x6 cream card blank 

i rolled my brayer over the cut & embossed card using distress ink Pumice stone

The sentiment is Sentimentals Ornate

Tune in to Create & Craft this Sunday where Leann will be with these amazing dies xxx

This is one of my favourites made from the gorgeous Angelica & Adam

I had a play with some of the other digi`s on the cd but haven`t had a chance to put them on cards yet, let me know what you think. The Angelica & Adam CD-Roms are fabulous value but to get all these amazing digi`s on the cd too, makes it exceptional value.
