Well people it has been far far too long and so much has happened! I guess the headline news which most of you should be aware of by now is that The Paper Mill Shop in Sterling Mills is closing down at the end of February...sad news. It will be really missed. Thank you to all the customers who have wished us well in the future. On a personal note though this gives me the opportunity to spread my wings, and I will be starting at Flawless Designs in Stirling and can't wait! For those of you that aren't aware it is a HUGE independent store with lots and lots of scrummy stash lol! What a treat! A whole new set of products to play with, new customers to meet, and a great way to keep in touch with some of the regulars from the Mills as well!
I am currently writing this blog from the Atrium at Stirling Uni and I can't even begin to tell you how cold it is in here. DD has started a youth theatre group she auditioned for today so I am using the time whilst waiting for her wisely! (I think the cold makes me type faster!)
Here's a few creations for you to keep you going!
The next few are all using the papers free with Creative Cardmaking Mag issue 11....yet again stunning papers (I love these mags - if you haven't managed to get a hold of this issue yet I urge to to grab it while you can!). I put together a kit with some co-ordinating fabric flowers, ribbons (both from The Paper Mill Shop) and some Trimcraft gems...
This first one is a gift card holder...
and the inside...
A valentine's card...
A thank you card...
and another thank you card...(this one seemed to be the favourite in the shop!)
Can't wait to play with the rest of these papers!

Can't wait to play with the rest of these papers! Here's a couple of quickies I made for the shop...this one was "improved" by my nephew with a red pen (how quickly you forget what it's like to have toddlers in the house lol!). I actually think this would make a cracking wedding invitation - will have to make it in a few colours and add it to the sample books!
And a wee quick remake of a crad from an older blog post but using some of the brighter papers from the My Minds Eye Bloom & Grow range...

Well that's me - time's up! Heading back to pick up Daisy from rehersals now and then home for a heat! As always would love to hear your feedback, and you can, of course, contact me directly at fairy-heaven@hotmail.co.uk
Take care
