Beatrix Potter Sneak Peeks!

Hello again! I hope you all had a good weekend, whether it be celebrating St Patricks Day or relaxing on Mothers Day! My mums choice of things to do was a pub quiz!! And the best one nearby isn't til tonight so that's what we're doing!
Today I've got more Sneak Peeks to show you today for the Crafters Companion Beatrix Potter Pick of the Day shows tomorrow. This nasty virus wiped me out for a few days and I forgot so I thought I'd show a couple of cards!
First up is this little sweetie from the Timmy Tiptoes stamp set and CD, and these gems are from the Papercrafting kit. I love these papers, especially the ones with the mini designs in the background and the lovely floral papers. I also dug out my watercolour pencils for this one!



Next up is a card perfect for a man using the new Jeremy Fisher CD. It's a huge card, A5! I've used one of the frame toppers for the front (with a bit of glaze and glitter for the shimmery water), matching papers & sentiment. Then inside I've used one of the inserts with a poem from the Verse Writer and one of the image toppers, all from the CD! Then the twill & gems are from the Papercrafting kit! Phew! I hope you like them, thanks for looking!

New Sneak Peeks & a Blog Hop!!

Hi all, and welcome to the Crafter’s Companion Blog Hop to celebrate the release of the new Beatrix Potter CDs and stamps.
If you have landed here first then you are hopping in the right direction. If not then you need to pop over to the Crafter’s Companion News blog to begin.

Our DT have had a great time creating with the new range from Crafter’s Companion and to celebrate the launch of these stunning new collections on Tuesday 20th March as Pick of the Day on Ideal World, we have decided to give you a chance to see some Sneak Peeks and also have the chance of winning a fabulous Prize: All three new CDs and all three new stamps (worth £74.94)!

All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning this great prize is visit each blog in order and then go back to the Crafter’s Companion News Views and Inspiration Blog to leave your link.

Along the way you will notice that each Blog will give you a letter - make a note of these as they will make a phrase which we will ask you for if your number is drawn by Random.Org on the morning of Tuesday 20th March.

My letter is: T

From here, you need to hop to Gemma’s blog.

PLEASE DO NOT TELL US WHAT THE WORD IS ON THE CRAFTER’S COMPANION NEWS VIEWS AND INSPIRATION BLOG, WE WILL E-MAIL YOU FOR THE ANSWER IF YOUR ENTRY NUMBER IS DRAWN.

And now onto my Sneak Peek card;
As these new CDs are packed full of images for mens cards, I thought I would make a Fathers Day Card (even though the rest of the country is making Mothers Day cards and I've still got mine to do!!) The image, backing papers & insert are all from the CD, sentiment from the new stamp sets and the ribbon and gems are from the papercrafting kit - I love this twill ribbon!
Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back tomorrow with more!
