New Ink Colours.

Morning everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in again. 

I must admit I am feeling under the weather today after my Covid booster yesterday. 

My glands are very swollen and painful, I have a thumping headache, and I feel so sick. .

I know it will pass and it is better than another dose of the dreaded Covid, but I really just want to curl up 

on the settee and sleep. 

Hey hoo

Anyway, I really wanted to tell you about the new colours of the Elements ink pads. 

There are 5 new colours. 

They are available on the Lavinia website. 

The Dark Denim and Midnight Blue are perfect for Halloween makes look. 

I started off with some stamping 

Added some scenery,

Some extra blending , these new colours are just fabulous 

I added extra detail with pastel pencils, posca pens  and gel pens. 

Here is a closer look 

Take care all 

Time for an extra coffee here 

Much love and hugs

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in again. 

I do hope your day has gone well. 

Karl left at 5am for work, so I got up early, walked Eric and had recorded another video by 8am. .

I also managed an early coffee before I took Eric for his physio appointment. 

Bless him, Eric loves having physio and he is so good for Katie. 

As it is Tuesday I have another  video to share with you. 

This one goes back to basics and has been requested by so many crafters. 

It is time to brush up on basics, let’s nail that blending

Friday again.

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in. 

I do hope your week has gone well.

Mine has been busy with making samples and 

recording videos. 

All good fun, oh and with secret stuff too. 

Yeah…..

Today I have been on grandma duties, normally on a Thursday and Friday it is the school 

and nursery run. 

Today however the school sent a text out saying that it would be closed due to issues with the drains. 

Both Adam and Danielle work on a Friday so grandma stepped in. 

Elliot is such good company, we did his homework too, and we even had art homework 

So that was great fun. 

Today I have an MDF bauble to share with you. 

I really love creating these, and the metallic gilding polish is just amazing on the Mdf. 

There are so many possibilities.

Tomorrow is my second Sharing The Love Of Lavinia Class in Ruthin. 

I am really looking forward to seeing everyone. 

We have had such a great response to these classes, and we are now in the process of sorting out dates for next year. 

So watch this space. 

Have a lovely weekend all 

Much love and hugs

Technique Tuesday, Gel Press play

Hi everyone, 

Hope you are having a decent day, 

I am just back from walking Eric. 

So I thought whilst I have my coffee, I could have a catch up with you lovely people. 

I have been busy recording videos today, 

and I have more to do tomorrow. 

Some of the content is hush, hush, 

Very exciting and absolutely fabulous. 

But I have said too much already shhhhhhh

Todays Technique Tuesday is a beginners guide to the Gel press 

I have had so many crafters get in touch and say that they have bought a gel press but it is still in its packet. 

So today is the day 

Get it out 

and have fun. 

You can find the video here

I do hope you find it useful and thanks so much for all your suggestions for future videos. 

I have a long list now 

Karl has been up to Edinburgh to work today,  so it was an early start and it will be a late finish for him

I will go and create some magic in the kitchen and have his meal ready for when he gets home…

Slippers by the fire…

Enjoy your evening all 

Much love and hugs
