NEW IDEAS FOR THE NEW YEAR!!

Hello Everyone!! I Hope you all had a great time over Christmas and the New Year and are all looking forward to a new crafting year. As promised I have been working on something for a while and hope you will enjoy taking part and having some fun. Some of you who are “bloggers” will probably have seen “sketches” and that’s what we are going to be doing here. Every month I will upload a different sketch challenge and hopefully it will give you some inspiration. Our design team at In2Crafting have had a sneak peak at the first one and they have all made a card – see below – so you can get an idea what to do. Basically you follow the sketch with whatever your interpretation is – you can rotate it and re-size elements of it but you have to keep to the basic design. I hope you have as much fun as we have and it will give you a kick start to your new year cardmaking. I hope to upload a new sketch around about the middle of each month. Have fun and if you can pop into the shop and show me what you’ve done I’d love to see it. Happy Crafting!!!! xx

We plan for our shop to be open during the cold weather and snow, however we may close earlier than usual. If you are journeying to us in the late afternoon it would probably be best to ring first to check when we will be closing. Sometimes the garden centre close early and therefore the gates are closed.
Our phone number is 01268 730234.
In addition, while the cold snap is on, to help you if you can't get to us.. we have reduced our postage and packing charge from 8th January to only 99p for your total order. Orders over £50 have no P & P charge. (mainland UK only). Delivery times will depend on carriers and post office being able to deliver to you.

For 2 weeks starting Monday 11th January, we will be giving double privilege points on all shop and online purchases.

Thank you for shopping with us.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Just thought I'd sign in and wish you all a Very Happy and Healthy New Year.  I had a great Christmas and I was a very lucky girl because Santa brought me lots of lovely presents!  Hope you all had a good Christmas too.  I have had a bit of a break from crafting over the past week but am now eager to get back to it and have been working on something new for January - so watch this space!!!  Well, enjoy New Years Eve whatever you do and I'll see you all in 2010 xx

Cards with the Cricut

Just thought I'd share some Christmas cards I made recently for a friend of mine for her grandchildren - I was really pleased with them and enjoyed making them because I was using my favourite toy - MY CRICUT !!!  Let me know what you think :)

Catch Up

Hello everyone - apologies for my absence for a while but I have had a very busy time.  I went away with my friends for the weekend and then spent the next week taking workshops / working in the shop so I havent had a lot of spare time.  The demo weekend went really well - unfortunately I missed it - but saw all of Lindsay's lovely cards when I came back and understand you all had a lot of fun - and I must say a belated congratulations to June Willett who won our free prize draw on the day - well done!!! Well Christmas is nearly here and I bet you are all busy with last minute preparations but just so you know and keep a look out our new workshop list for January - March is being prepared as we speak and should be available in the shop and on the website very very soon - hopefully you will find something that takes your fancy - dont forget to book early as places go really quickly and I wouldnt want you to miss out.  Enjoy your Christmas cardmaking (if you havent already finished - I havent even started yet! ) and I'll see you all soon :)
