I knew that as soon as I started calling my weekly art journaling post 'Art Journal Sharing Thursday' that I would live to regret the name! I'm so not good at this blog titling thang. *SIGH* But now that I've finished my DT work with Creative Expressions I thought I would spread my blog posts out more regularly and move my weekly…
As some of you might already know I have been doing some demos this month at Hobbycraft for Fiskars showing the Fiskars Fuse.

I've been in an all-absorbed frenzy of making this week to meet some deadlines, so much so that I am starting to question my sanity a bit. I've been so work-focussed that on Wednesday I mistook my door bell for the telephone ringing. Erm? Eeek! Yeah, ok so might not be that big a deal, they both ring and everything so I…

Catching up! Watcha Gorgeous Fluffs Of Bundle, how are you all doing? It has been a busy old week for me so far, hence the lack of posting. It is not from want of projects to show, but more a lack of time to get them posted here on the blog. I've been working more with the Fiskars Fuse, it was my…
Have you seen the new Fiskars Fuse Creativity System? It is the new Fiskars die-cutting machine, but it doesn't just die-cut, oh no, it is a letterpress and embossing machine as well.
