Ok so I been away?! but look what I havent missed!!

Ok hi to everyone that was regulary checking out my blog and then I just went well all quiet?! But I am ok ,its just the last few weeks, errrm months have been a bit full on and I just needed to take a break, but I am back and in full bloggin swing!
I though why not come back with a bang so my blogs had a little make over and in its full pink glory, you got to love pink! x

Ok where to start?? Last time I blogged I had just started the re-brand of Craft Planet the kids brand by Do Crafts. Well you will be pleased to hear that it has taken on a major and I mean major new look, it is going to be the hottest kids brand in town.

I wont say what its looking like or what is coming (because I am not alloud too lol.) but it launches June 09, so get down to your local Do stockist asap and/or check out my blog on launch date for the sneaky peak of the fantastic new products!
We will be launching something every new month from June 09 onwards, so this may mean Craft Planet might not always be on the ce promotion at your local Do Crafts stockist. But this is great, it means that I will never be bored! hahaha and that you will always find something your kids will enjoy in the stores or online.

Ok well lets talk about whats been hot with Papermania lately .....
Well the launch of my last paper collection for Papermania was in January, it was called Scrumptious and I felt and wanted you all to think that the designs were really truly scrumptious? and it seems you all have got into the scrummy spirit of it and have been crafting some fantaastic stuff.

The collection included a whole bag of delicousness!

  • 12x12 papers
  • 6x6 papers
  • 12x12 acetate
  • 3x3 Little Notelets
  • Clear stamps - works great with the new papermania stamp cleaner

Other co-odinating products are:

  • Alphamania
  • Alphaminis
  • Brads - come in pink / purple / green / black
  • Felt ribbon - come in pink / purple / green / monochromatic
  • Motivations stickers - come in themes of scumptious / spring time / text / floral and birthday and work great with the Papermania flocking powder!
I have uploaded just some of the yummy cards and scrapping pages I saw on the Do website and I am just loving where your imagination has taken you all!

Supporting Marie Curie

Well Papermania is supporting Marie Curie once again this year and everyday I see the cards come flooding in, so thank you for your support everyone. I am a great supporter of the cause and although I didnt design the stamps that are being sold, I did design the box dispenser, posterm the new new card bags and other bits. But I thought I would post this lovely card Clare Curd made recently just to add a little inspration:
