I had a great day with Phill yesterday. It was a bit hectic, very tiring but loads of fun! We're doing it all again on Sunday 22nd November (different projects). I'm not sure if there's any places left but contact Phill or Carol at Honeypot Crafts and they'll be able to tell you.
Loads to do at home today - ALOT of tidying up in my craft room, housework (maybe?), cutting the lawn (depends on the weather) and I've lots of products to store and parcel up for my website. Don't forget, 10% discount on all orders on my website till midnight tonight.
Here's today's card -
I stamped the Creative Expressions Holly and Ivy Plaque using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Bright Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Sue's Peeking Snowflake Die Set. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Carnival Brights Watercolour Paint Set and a Water Brush. I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Christmas Sentiments Collection, again using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder.
John Lockwood has more shows on Hochanda with Sue Wilson Dies today. Looks like they're at 1pm, 3pm and 6pm.
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteA lovely card thank you.
Well you will have one job less to do today if you have this rain that we have now.
Take care Kitty.
A splendid Christmas card. Glad you had a fun day yesterday. Anne and I (Northampton) were talking about the possibility of joining Phill's workshop next year as they sound like loads of fun.

Morning Julia, you must be really knackered after your hectic weekend, yes you have lots to do at home today but grab a little bit of spare time just for yourself and chill out, will do a great deal of good.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card today, as your cards always are.
Enjoy you Bank Holiday Monday, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Julia, a beautiful card and don't worry about housework it will still be there when your not.

Hello Julia
ReplyDeleteLovely card today. I love that lovely rich Brunswick Green card it has such lovely depth to the colour and looks great with the red of the holly berries.
I guess you will have crossed off the mowing! Living in the south I am, for one, quite pleased to see the rain at least my lawn is looking green again instead of a desert! But I guess it is par for a Bank Holiday Monday!!
Have a great day Julia whatever you decide to do.

ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteGood to know that you had a lovely, albeit hectic day with Phil...thank you for sharing this fabulous card today, the Brunswick green is such a lovely colour & seems perfect for using on Christmas cards. Colouring also looks beautiful & the sentiment is quite regal & elegant.
Received my order from CE & I'm so glad that I asked for one of your original Julia Watts card when placing the order, (Mr & Mrs Vintage) it is really beautiful, elegant & the colours are so perfect for the design...Thank you so much Julia for the opportunity to own this card...will be framing it to hang on my craft room wall x
As much as you enjoy your crafting & as much as you have some chores to catch up on I hope you manage to get some you time today...
Take care to all

ReplyDeleteHi Julia. Lovely card in nice traditional colours. If your weather is like ours then your grass won't get cut, one off the list. I have just had artificial lawn laid, ha ha, no cutting for me. Did confuse my visiting pheasant though. Just placed a small order on your site, my list grew a lot after yesterday! SueL x
