Pearsonified Crafting

...We're on a roll here in Personified Craft world LOL! Here are a couple of some of my new Inkpad Craft Storage Units that Phil my husband has recently made (he says I need to add 'made by my wonderful, talented husband')

That's the first one filled, now off to fill the next few!

These units can be free-standing or fixed to the wall.

Phil's latest creations!

I do hope that you agree with me that they're great! What do you think of these units?

I received this card from a friend who knew I couldn't go away this weekend for training at the Craft Weekend my friends are all heading off to. I absolutely love everything about this card - all the detail, the colours and the style. She must have spent hours making this. It means such a lot when someone is thoughtful and is thinking of you when you're ill.
Thank you so much to Fiona Cooper for your thoughtfulness. I really appreciate it.

Keep Crafting,

 I was not sure if I would be able to sew these cards, but I couldn't believe how quick these pictures were to stitch. I expected it to take a few hours, but it only took about 10 minutes to sew one picture.

Everything you need is included in this kit

Many years ago, I used to love creating Cross Stitch pictures, but gave it up when my eyesight deteriorated and I couldn't see the aida or linen holes any more. I am so excited that I was able to sew these with ease. The ready-pierced holes were easy to see and use. There are also included in the kit  - very clear and precise instructions (with pictures and diagrams) for those who aren't too sure how to do Cross Stitch, or you can make it up yourself (like I did here LOL!). There are more than enough threads (Primrose Petals and Lucky Limeade) enclosed along with two needles, 4 Primrose Petals and 4 Lucky Limeade cards, 8 envelopes and 4 tulip and 4 cupcake pierced scalloped cards and Stampin' Up! have even thought of enclosing 32 Stampin’ Dimensionals®. All this for only £11.95.

 I used Teeny Tiny Sentiment message stamps on the front, as I had forgotten to order the two wooden Essential Stamps on the same page in the Spring/Summer Catalogue which say 'Thank you' and 'Happy Birthday' for only £5.95 or 7,95 €.

This gate-fold card was made mainly using pieces from the Artisan Embellishments Kit, More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper and a pretty stamp set called Summer Silhouettes, which suits so many different occasions.. A pretty way to let a very special Mum know how much she's loved and appreciated for all she's done!

Happy Mother's Day!
