ANNOUNCEMENT AND APOLOGY

AT THE MOMENT WE ARE ON HOLIDAY AND HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY WITHOUT INTERNET FOR NEARLY A WEEK.

I LEFT THE SHOP OPEN AS WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE INTERNET ACCESS WHERE WE ARE STAYING, BUT WE HAVENT!

I HAVE MANAGED TO GET ACCESS TODAY, BUT ITS ONLY VERY BREIFLY!

HAVE NOW DISCOVERED THAT WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SHOP ALSO.

I WANT TO SEND A HUGE APOLOGY TO ANYONE WHO MAY BE WAITING FOR ORDERS OR REPLIES TO EMAILS, I AM TRYING MY BEST TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Hello... where did that week go?

Good evening crafters!! Sorry its been a while since my last post...

my head is all over the place preparing for our holidays, and with having my little man around the house too, I don't know if I'm coming or going...

Firstly I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined in with the 'Flash your freebies' challenges... It was so lovely, firstly to see some of the older freebies being used, but then all the different ways everybody used the Tortoise Digi...

I think in future I'll be doing this more often....

There wont be any freebies for a couple of weeks due to holidays etc... but hope to have something to share when we return...

Today we have set a new challenge over on The Pollycraft Challenge 

This week Joanne is our host, and she has given us a photo to use as inspiration....

Pop over and see what the FAB DT have created... and also check out the fab work from our GD Sandra...

And Finally....

I've added 10 New Christmas images to the shop today...

2 New ranges...

The cute lil mice Mimi and Marley

 The fabulously kooky 'Luna Bitterfrost'

And more of your favourites...

Lilybean Snowfairies

And....

Cuthbert and Kikis Christmas

All these are available now... from as little as 99p!!

BUT it gets better...

The 25% discount code is still valid until 11pm GMT Thursday 12th August...

And is valid for the new images!!

 Please be aware...

 THE CODE IS FOR POLLYCRAFT DIGITAL STAMPS ONLY!

IF YOU ARE PURCHASING CLEAR STAMPS, PROMARKERS OR CREATIVE COTTAGE PRODUCTS, YOU MUST ADD THEM TO A SEPARATE ORDER.

Well thats me up to date with news for now...

hope to be back in the next few days to share some DT creations...

Thanks for stopping by...

Pollycraft Challenge #55 'Fit for a Princess'

Well Hello there!!... thanks for visiting me today!!

Hope its lovely and sunny where you are??

its looking quite bright here at the moment...so fingers crossed!

Before I move on to my card for the new Pollycraft Challenge I'd like to say a MASSIVE thank you to everybody who has joined in with the 'Flash your Freebies' challenge... I've had SO many emails saying how much fun it was, and actually I've enjoyed it too!!

You still have until the end of today (11.59 GMT) to add your GREEN creation if you havent managed yet...

Okay on to this weeks Pollycraft Challenge which has been set by the gorgeous Ria

Ria wants to see our creations that are:

FIT FOR A PRINCESS!

Fab challenge Ria!

Now me being me... and not really being very princessy myself... I went for an anti-princess....

is it wrong that I love this card??

I'm not normally a purple user, but, I bought these DIGI papers from a cherry on top and I thought they were yummy!!

Cherry Kisses 'lil miss attitude' is coloured with promarkers

for the 'princess' I hand doodled the letters onto one of the papers, and then had cut...

the little crown is also doodled, and the 'dont call me' is handwritten....

not much on this card really... just added a couple of pearls at the top...

I also wanted to send a HUGE thank you to Sandra who is our VIP Guest over at the Pollycraft Challenge for August...

Please go and check out Sandra's card for this weeks challenge... its AMAZING!!!

Thanks so much for joining us Sandra!! looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us next!
