Arianna Sneak Peak and New Blog Candy

Evening everyone!  I am sure that most of you are probably already tucked up in bed:)
Ummmm! My posts seem to be getting written rather late at the moment...I do apologise to those of you that visit regularly and realise I haven't updated my posts.  It isn't just that I am busy prepping for my shows, but I do find that I can sit at my computer and work so much easier when the family are all tucked up in bed and I am left to chill for an hour before I turn in.  I always find that if I don't do this after having a day crafting I seem to take my crafting to bed with me and then end up waking in the morning as though I haven't been to bed because I have made a dozen cards in my sleep LOL....the annoying thing is I never seem to get one finished and I wake thinking what it would have turned out like:(....Yes! I am a bit bonkers I suppose, but I am absolutely obsessed with this crafting world and often wonder what sort of life I would have now, if I hadn't found this amazing craft:)  I even have the grandchildren sticking and cutting when they are round...although I do draw the line at them using my Heartfelt Creations stash:)
 

New Blog Candy Launch

So anyway as this is supposed to be a quick post I better get on with the important stuff!
It is time for me to thank you all again for your amazing support and I can't think of a better way than to give some  craft candy away....As tomorrow is a special One Day Wonder on Create and Craft I would like to give you all the chance to win 2 Heartfelt Creations stamps of your choice!!!! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and your name will be included and picked by random org next Friday.
 
Now another Arianne Sneak Peek:
 
This is another card that I plan to demo tomorrow (Thursday) so I will just give you a quick run down on the products that I have used:
  • The image and sentiment is from the Arianna Blooms Bouquet precut stamp set - HCPC 3609
  • The flower is of course the Arianna Blooms precut stamp set - HCPC 3608 and matching die HCD 748
  • The paper is Arianna Bloom  - HCDP1 244
  • I have coloured the image in with Versa Magic chalk ink.
  • I have used Spellbinder dies - Labels four and Gold Labels Four...this is one of my all time favourites:)
Don't forget to email in the show...I love to hear from you all:)
 
Take care x

    A beautiful card from yet another gorgeous Heartfelt Creations collection! What can I add? Only to agree with your comment on the show earlier about each collection out-doing the last. I enjoyed the early show demos and I'm now ready to watch the 11 a.m. slot. So tempted to buy everything, but must control myself.

    For me this collection has outdone all the previous ones I really love it. Great shows today. I know what you mean about having to chill before bed when you have been immersed in crafting, I get ideas buzzing round my head at 2am and have to resist the urge to get up and start crafting!

    Morning Nikki
    Hope you had a good nights sleep, I watched all your shows last night before I went to bed as I was busy catching up with holiday washing - the new range is absolutely beautiful, so versatile, I have spent a lot recently on new Distress markers and a Silhouette Cameo machine so pennies are tight at the moment but I will get some of these stamps as they are so useful.
    Hugs

    Hi Nikki. What a pretty delicate card. Just catching up after my stint in hospital, and cant think of a better way to spend what time I spend awake playing catch up.
    I love how you put all these papers together, some I would be afraid that clashed but you always get it so spot on every time.
    Sending drowsy hugs.
