News, news and more news!

The lovely Kim Dellow always posts a Sunday Round-up on her blog, and as I have a lot of news to share today, I thought I would shamelessly nick her idea and post my own round-up! Hee hee! Thank you Kim for the inspiration! :)

Okay, so first up, My Mum's Craft Shop news....

My Mum's Craft Shop is holding an amazing SUPER STAMP SALE

Sweet November, Kraftin' Kimmie, Pink Cat Studio, Nellie Snellen, The Greetings Farm, Stampavie, and loads more rubber stamps are on sale right now in the super stamp sale section from as little as £3.00!Remember, UK postage is £1.75 or FREE if you spend £29.99 or more (which is not hard, LOL!), and Kitty is fabulous at getting out orders super quick.

My Mum's Craft Shop is now an official stockist of Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps!

I know that there are a lot of UK/European fans of Sparkle's adorable stamps, and I hope you are super excited that you will now be able to buy them from a local stockist! Yippee!!  If there is a SCRS stamp that you want that Kitty hasn't listed in her store, be sure to let her know and she will add it to her next order! :)

On a sad note, I have taken the difficult decision to step down from the Sketch Saturday design team.  I became a DT member for the challenge blog 2 years ago in October 2009 and the time has now come to move on.  I have had a wonderful time being a DT member and have made some wonderful friendships throughout my time there.  I hope the new DT members have a great time and I look forward to joining in the challenge as a challenger when time allows.

Finally, I am super-excited to share that I have been published in a print magazine!!  If you subscribe to the fantastic Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine and turn to page 32 (part of the subscriber's special pages) you will see a Winter Birthday card and matching tag that I was commissioned to make! I used ...

Unfortunately I can't share any photographs of the creations here on my blog until 6 months after publication as this was a commission, but if you do subscribe the magazine I would love to hear what you think!


Okay, that's about it from me! Hubby has a tonne of lesson planning and marking to get through today, so dd and I are having a girly day together.  We are off to bake some cupcakes now! I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.
