Need To Get In Touch?

As of this evening (Thursday 17th) I am going away for a week to stay with family on the sunny (I hope) Isle of Wight. This WILL NOT affect orders and dispatch as that is Jills department. It will mean however that e mails which are directed to my computer will be checked only once per day when Mum comes to attend to my bunnies! So if you need to contact us you can still e mail but the reply will not be a speedy as normal. If it is an urgent enquiry please telephone - 01787 210272. If no one replies Mum is probably out doing a post office run! Please do leave a message and someone will get back to you.
Thanks

It's here and it's gorgeous!

The New Basic Grey is here and online NOW! Both collections are lovely and very different to each other. Gypsy is vibrant and funky and Lily Kate is muted but classy. Based on the previews I thought Lily Kate was basically going to be a replacement for the sweet pea collections which are being retired but now I see it I think it reminds me more of Urban couture in its designs. The new Wholy Cow Rub Ons are once again delicious and on my must have list!

My two new favourites though are the mini monograms and the 6x6 paper pads - so many people love the monograms but they are TOO BIG for lots of titles. The mini monograms are half the size so much more usable. Having seen the sublime and motifica 6x6 pads which Basic grey produced with K&Co I expected these to be the same - thin paper 6 sheets of each of 6 designs but in fact they are heavyweight paper with 2 of each of all the 18 designs so basically much more variety. I love them!

Fun At The Crop!

We took the shop to Nicki's Crop in Bury St Edmunds on Saturday and had a great time with the girls there. It was great to catch up with a really lovely bunch of ladies. Thanks for having us - we are already looking forward to the next time!

This week should be a busy one as the lovely new Basic Grey ranges Lily Kate and Gypsy are due in very soon. We are preparing the pizza box mountain and contacting pre registered customers who will get first option on the available stock. The rest will then go on the website.

Our UKS Class

Just a quick update to show you our class for the UKS event. It was uploaded to UKS yesterday so I can share it on here now. The classes had to include a layout as an example and a sketch which could be used with any of four kits. The four kits were themed A-Z, Book of Me, Holiday and Time. I used the Time kit for my example. The sketch is below.



Be sure to check out the Cyber Crop Gallery on UKScrappers - you can see the fabulous layouts the UKSers created with our kits and also with their own papers in the classes ->Friday A Trip Down Memory Lane Class section!

Got to dash, we are taking the shop to Nickis crop in Bury St Edmunds today :)
